Abstract

Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of Zn_{1 - x}TM_xO (TM=Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, and Cu) films were measured to clarify their magneto-optical properties. Noticeable magneto-optical effect was not observed for Zn_{1 - x}SC_xO, Zn1 - xTi_xO, Zn_{1 - x}V_xO, and Zn_{1 - x}Cr_xO. On the contrary, Zn_{1 - x}Mn_xO, Zn_{1 - x}Co_xO, Zn_{1 - x}Ni_xO, and Zn_{1 - x}Cu_xO showed pronounced negative MCD peaks near 3.4 eV which correspond to the band gap of the host ZnO semiconductor. These results show that ZnO alloyed with Mn, Co, Ni, and Cu is a diluted magnetic semiconductor with strong exchange interaction between sp-band carriers and localized d electrons.
