Abstract

The magnetization as a function of magnetic field showed hysteretic behavior at room temperature. According to the temperature dependence of the magnetization, the Curie temperature (T_C) is higher than 350 K. Ferromagnetic Mn-doped tin oxide thin films exhibited low electrical resistivity and high optical transmittance in the visible region (400-800 nm). The coexistence of ferromagnetism, high visible transparency and high electrical conductivity in the Mn-doped SnO₂ films is expected to be a desirable trait for spintronics devices.
