Ion implantation is a powerful technique for doping<br />

impurities into crystals with non-equilibrium concentration<br />

at low temperature. This technique may be used in<br />

fabrication of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) that<br />

require high-concentration magnetic atom doping without a<br />

secondary phase formation. However, radiation damages<br />

are introduced by ion implantation. Recent calculation<br />

studies have suggested that a presence of vacancies affects<br />

the magnetic properties in DMS 1) . In this study, magnetic<br />

ions were implanted into compound semiconductor crystals<br />

by using an ion-implantation technique. Furthermore, we<br />

have attempted to clarify the correlation between the<br />

magnetic properties and presence of vacancy-type defects.<br />

Hydrothermal-grown n-type ZnO(0001) single crystals<br />

were implanted with several different energy Cr + ions up to<br />

380 keV to a fluence of 1 × 10 16 ions/cm 2 at RT. After ion<br />

implantation, the isochronal annealing was conducted in the<br />

range up to 1,100 o C with a step of 100 o C for 30 min in a<br />

nitrogen atmosphere. The Doppler broadening of<br />

annihilation radiation (DBAR) spectra were acquired at RT<br />

after the annealing at each temperature. Moreover, after<br />

annealing up to 1,100 o C, XRD and SQUID measurements<br />

were performed.<br />

DBAR spectrum (S parameter) obtained with beam energy<br />

of 5 keV for a Cr + -implanted ZnO crystal during isochronal<br />

annealing. From this, irradiation-induced vacancies were<br />

clustering up to 600 o C, and such vacancy clusters were<br />

annealed out at 900 o C. From XRD measurements after<br />

annealing at 1,100 o C, no secondary phase peaks were<br />

observed. SQUID measurement result for the 1,100 o C-<br />

annealed sample was shown in Fig. 2. In this sample, a<br />

clear magnetic hysteresis was not observed. In further<br />

study, evaluation of samples with higher impurity<br />

concentrations is needed.<br />
