Abstract

Magnetization measurements were performed on a series of Zn_0.9-x Fe_0.1Cu_xO samples (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10). Small hysteresis losses are seen at low temperatures. The ferromagnetic exchange interaction has been evaluated from the inverse DC magnetic susceptibility versus T and the molecular field theory. We found that Cu-doping greatly enhances the FM exchange interaction, increases the saturation magnetization, hysteresis losses and the magnetic susceptibility. Arrott-Kouvel plot has been used to study the spontaneous magnetic moment at low temperatures. We show that hysteresis losses cannot be taken as the only evidence for the appearance of the ferromagnetic order in these semiconducting semi-magnetic materials.
