Metal-semiconductor hybrid nanostructure Ag-Zn0.9Co0.1O:: Synthesis and room-temperature ferromagnetism

Hybrid nanostructure Ag-Zn0.9Co0.1O was prepared via a solution chemistry method. Part of the electrons from the Ag tip was introduced and accumulated in Zn0.9Co0.1O nanorods, shifting the Fermi level to induce a robust room-temperature ferromagnetism.
