Abstract

Mn:ZnO/Mn:ZnS core-shell heterostructures, in which Mn²⁺ ions are incorporated into ZnO and ZnS host lattice by replacing Zn²⁺ ion sites, have been synthesized by coating single-crystalline Mn:ZnO nanorods with a thin layer of Mn:ZnS nanocrystals. The heterostructures possess visible/ultraviolet photoluminescences and intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetism. Photoluminescent spectrum exhibits enhanced ultraviolet emission of Mn:ZnO, defect-related green emission of Mn:ZnS, and strong orange emission due to ⁴T₁(⁴G)-⁶A₁( ⁶S) transition of Mn²⁺ in ZnS. A strong ferromagnetic layer is found to exist on the surface of the Mn:ZnO core, which makes a much larger contribution to the macroscopic ferromagnetism of the heterostructures.
