Of late, d0 ferromagnetic oxide materials have been studied as potential material for spintronics application. We investigate the crystal structure, magnetic, optical, and dielectric properties of Ag-doped TiO2 compounds. XRD study reveals polycrystalline rutile form of TiO2 with tetragonal-type structure. SEM micrographs show spherical particles of size 2–3 µm. All the compounds exhibit ferromagnetism with Curie temperature beyond 400 K and with a typical coercivity value in the range 130–550 Oe. The bifurcation of ZFC and FC M–T curves points out magnetic irreversibility. All Ag-doped TiO2 compounds exhibited p-type conductivity as per the Hall effect study. Optical absorbance data indicate the widening of the band gap up to 6% of Ag doping followed by a decrease for higher doping and these materials exhibit transmittance in the range of 20–30%. The compounds exhibit zero dielectric loss and appreciable dielectric constant and their AC conductivity increases with Ag doping.

在用于自旋电子学应用的 Ag 掺杂金红石 TiO2 化合物中调整室温 d0 铁磁性、介电、光学和传输特性
最近,d 0铁磁氧化物材料已被研究作为自旋电子学应用的潜在材料。我们研究了 Ag 掺杂的 TiO 2化合物的晶体结构、磁性、光学和介电特性。XRD 研究揭示了具有四方型结构的 TiO 2 的多晶金红石形式。SEM 显微照片显示大小为 2–3 µm 的球形颗粒。所有化合物都表现出铁磁性,居里温度超过 400 K,典型矫顽力值在 130-550 Oe 范围内。ZFC 和 FC M - T曲线的分叉表明了磁不可逆性。全Ag掺杂TiO 2根据霍尔效应研究,化合物表现出 p 型导电性。光吸收数据表明带隙加宽到 6% 的 Ag 掺杂,然后随着掺杂量的增加而减少,这些材料的透射率在 20-30% 的范围内。这些化合物表现出零介电损耗和可观的介电常数,并且它们的 AC 电导率随着 Ag 掺杂而增加。
