Enhanced ferromagnetism was observed from the H2O2-treated p-type (Zn0.93Mn0.07)O:As layer. Compared with the untreated sample, the H2O2-treated sample showed the enlarged ferromagnetic hysteresis loop with approximately two-times-increased spontaneous magnetization. And also, in comparison with the untreated sample (T-C similar to 280 K), the H2O2-treated sample exhibited to have the increased T-C persisting up to above 350 K. These results were confirmed to originate from the enhanced p-d hybridization due to the decrease in negatively charged residual background carriers. This is because the increased effective g-factor resulting from the decrease in oxygen-related defects acting as native deep donors was observed from the H2O2-treated sample.
