Özet
This study investigates the structural, magnetic, and mechanical modifications induced by partial Mg/Zn substitution in Zn 0.95 Co 0.05 O diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) systems prepared by the sol-gel method. A combination of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), and Vickers microhardness (H v) testing is employed to assess the impact of Mg incorporation. Experimental and computational results confirm the successful substitution of Mg²⁺ ions into the ZnCoO lattice without forming secondary phases. XRD analyses reveal a slight reduction in crystallite size, varying from 37.62 nm to 36.48 nm, attributable to the differences in ionic radius and electronegativity between Mg²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions. Mg addition enhances crystallinity, interface state formation, and atomic-scale interactions, while promoting quantum confinement effects. SEM …
