Abstract

Physicochemical analysis is used to study phase equilibria and to design a concentration diagram for the Zn-Co-O system. ZnO-, CoO-, and Co3O4-based mixed crystals with a fixed Zn/Co ratio have different oxygen nonstoichiometry depending on the synthesis and annealing parameters. Metastable clustering is discovered in Zn1 − x CoxO1 + δ wurtzite solid solutions, which exist stably in the range 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2. Magnetization investigation shows that an antiferromagnetic order exists in homogeneous Zn1 − x CoxO1 + δ grains; this order is conserved up to 625 ± 25 K. The substitution of praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, or europium for zinc(II) cations in Zn0.9Co0.1O1 + δ does not spoil the compensated antiferromagnetism of the wurtzite unit cell.
