Room-temperature multiferroic properties in Mg-doped ZnO samples are reported wherein Mg replaces Zn in the ZnO matrix and retains hexagonal wurtzite structure. The saturation magnetisation is increased from similar to 2x10(-4) emu/g to 3x10(-4) emu/g for the dilute doping of 2 % Mg in pure ZnO and the ferroelectricity is also increased. Higher concentration of Mg does not lead to a significant enhancement in the magnetisation but improves the ferroelectric properties. An X-ray absorption spectroscopic study shows an enhancement in O vacancies with dilute doping of Mg. The origin of the multiferroic behaviour is understood based on their crystal and electronic structures.
