ABSTRACT

We report room temperature ferromagnetism in vacuum annealed ZnO nanorods. ZnO nanorods were annealed at 600°C for 6 hours in an annealing chamber with a pressure of 10−6 Torr. Our study indicates that ZnO nanorods develop room temperature ferromagnetism due to the presence of oxygen vacancy defects in it. Presence of large surface area of nanorods and oxygen vacancy are mainly responsible for the observed magnetic behavior.
