Effect of Tin Codoping on Transport and Magnetic Properties of Chromium-doped Indium Oxide Films
Journal of Magnetics, Volume 13, Number 3, 30 Sep 2008, Pages 88-91
Abstract
This study examined the effect of Sn co-doping on the transport and magnetic properties of Cr-doped In2O3 thin films grown on (100) silicon substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The experimental results showed that Sn co-doping enhances the magnetization and appearance of the anomalous Hall effect, and increases the carrier (electron) concentration. These results suggest that the conduction carrier plays an important role in enhancing the ferromagnetism of a laser-deposited Cr-doped In2O3 film, which may have applications in transparent oxide semiconductor spin electronics devices.
