Abstract

Zn_1−xGd_xO (x = 0, 2, 5, 10, 15 %) nanoparticles were synthesised by sol–gel method and analysed for their structural, morphological, optical and magnetic properties. X-ray diffraction confirms formation of hexagonal wurtzite single phase of the synthesized nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy shows that they have spherical morphology; UV–Vis spectroscopy shows that they undergo red shift; energy dispersive technique reveals that they have the prerequisite elements in the stoichiometry ratio; and, vibrating sample magnetometer depicts that they have room temperature ferromagnetism, which, further, enhances upon Gd-doping.
