Low-temperature activation and deactivation of high-Curie-temperature ferromagnetism in a new diluted magnetic semiconductor: Ni2+-Doped SnO2.

We report the synthesis of colloidal Ni(2+)-doped SnO(2) (Ni(2+):SnO(2)) nanocrystals and their characterization by electronic absorption, magnetic circular dichroism, X-ray absorption, magnetic susceptibility, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction measurements. The Ni(2+) dopants are found to occupy pseudooctahedral Sn(4+) cation sites of rutile SnO(2) without local charge compensation. The paramagnetic nanocrystals exhibit robust high-Curie-temperature (T(C)) ferromagnetism (M(s)(300 K) = 0.8 mu(B)/Ni(2+), T(C) >> 300 K) when spin-coated into films, attributed to the formation of interfacial fusion defects. Facile reversibility of the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition is also observed. This magnetic phase transition is studied as a function of temperature, time, and atmospheric composition, from which the barrier to ferromagnetic activation (E(a)) is estimated to be 1200 cm(-1). This energy is associated with ligand mobility on the surfaces of the Ni(2+):SnO(2) nanocrystals. The phase transition is reversed under air but not under N(2), from which the microscopic identity of the activating defect is proposed to be interfacial oxygen vacancies.
