Future technology envisages the combination of magnetism and semiconductivity, known as spintronics. Such materials are called Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor (DMSs), where transition metals are doped in ZnO. Although DMSs have been extensively studied, reports are still contradicting without a defin...
