- Nanoparticles of Zn0.95-xCo0.05InxO (x = 0.0 to 0.07) were synthesized by the pyrolitic reaction of sol-gels obtained from respective metal precursors. X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies confirm the formation of impurity-free wurtzite type ZnO structure for all the compositions. While pristine ZnO is diamagnetic, Zn0.95Co0.05O nanoparticles show weak paramagnetic behavior at room temperature. When "In." is codoped with Co with x = 0.0 to 0.07 in Zn0.95-xCo0.05InxO, a systematic increase in magnetic moment is observed up to x = 0.07. First-principles modeling supports that the ferromagnetic phase become more favorable at higher indium doping concentrations.

- We present the structural and magnetic properties of Zn0.95-xCo0.05AlxO (x = 0.0 to 0.1) nanoparticles, synthesized by a novel sol-gel route followed by pyrolysis. Powder X-ray diffraction data confirms the formation of a single phase wurtzite type ZnO structure for all the compositions. The Zn0.95Co0.05O nanoparticles show diamagnetic behavior at room temperature. However, when Al is co-doped with Co with x = 0.0 to 0.10 in Zn0.95-xCo0.05AlxO, a systematic increase in ferromagnetic moment is observed up to x = 0.07 at 300 K. Above x = 0.07 (e.g. for x = 0.10) a drastic decrease in ferromagnetic nature is observed which is concomitant with the segregation of poorly crystalline Al rich ZnO phase as evidenced from TEM studies. Theoretical studies using density functional calculations on Zn0.95-xCo0.05AlxO suggest that the partial occupancy of S2 states leads to an increased double exchange interaction favoring the ferromagnetic ground states. Such ferromagnetic interactions are favorable beyond a threshold limit. At a high level doping of Al, the exchange splitting is reduced, which suppresses the ferromagnetic ordering.

- We report morphological and ferromagnetic property control in ZnO nanorod structures by an optimum doping of Ni and Li. Nanostructures of Zn0.97-xNi0.03LixO (x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.08, and 0.10) are prepared by a solvothermal method. High aspect ratio (5-15) ZnO nanorods transform to particles (with 1-3 aspect ratio) influenced by 3 at. % Ni substitution in ZnO (Zn0.97Ni0.03O). It is remarkable to note that the Zn1.97Ni0.03O particles completely retain the nanorod shape with significantly increased aspect ratio (15-30) when 3 at.c/a Li ions are codoped in (Zn0.99Li0.03Ni0.30O). Li substitution tits enhances ferromagnetism with largest magnetization (0.8 emu.g(-1)) observed for Zn0.94Li0.03Ni0.03O. For Li concentration >3 at.%, the aspect ratio as well as the magnetization decreased considerably. These experimental observations are explained by first-principles modeling. At low Li-on-Zn acceptor concentrations, the total magnetization is increased by lower Ni d-state populations, whereas at higher Li concentrations the population of ZnO host states decreases the ferromagnetism by induced magnetic moments on the oxygens. We discuss the significant implications of these results on the nanorods structures of room temperature ferromagnetic materials, which are expected to play pivotal role in developing spintronic devices.
