Abstract

The effect of annealing temperature on the dielectric and magnetic properties of (Co, Zn) co-doped SnO₂ nanoparticles under air/oxygen (O₂) and argon (Ar) atmospheres at 600 °C have been systematically investigated. A significant decrease is observed in dielectric constant and dielectric loss resulting from the incorporation of Co and Zn into the SnO₂ lattice. Higher dielectric constant and loss was observed in the O₂ annealed sample. Moreover, the electrical conductivity of the (Co, Zn) co-doped SnO₂ samples increased in comparison with that of pure SnO₂ sample due to the increase of available charge carriers after replacement of Sn ions with Co and Zn ions. Room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) was observed for both the O₂ and Ar annealed (Co, Zn) co-doped SnO₂ samples. However, the remanent magnetization (Mr) varied drastically for different environmental annealing processes with Mr = 0.412 and 0.20 memu/g for the O₂ and Ar-annealed samples, respectively. The results show that the enhanced dielectric and magnetic properties of (Co, Zn) co-doped SnO₂ sample is strongly correlated with the increase in O₂ vacancies. These findings not only demonstrate that (Co, Zn) co-doped SnO₂ samples show tunable RTFM, but also suggests that RTFM can be influenced by introduction of O₂ vacancies during O₂ annealing.
