Al-doped ZnCoO films were grown by sol-gel process onto SiO2 and Si(100) substrates. Structural analysis shows that all samples have the hexagonal wurtzite structure with a slight preferential orientation along the c-axis. The insertion of Al and Co into the ZnO matrix has been experimentally evidenced by UV-visible spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. This is further supported by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy which indicated that all Co is under ionic form and that the samples contain no metallic clusters. The creation of free carriers by Al doping was confirmed by Hall effect and resistance measurements. Although a weak ferromagnetism is observed in all films, no clear influence of Al doping on the magnetic properties is evidenced which is in agreement with electronic structure calculations. The calculations show clearly that there is almost no overlap between the Al and the Co states, suggesting no change in the magnetic properties of ZnCoO with the Al doping. The only major role of Al is to change the conduction type of ZnCoO from p to n type. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.3137194]
