Pure ZnO and Zn0.95Co0.05O films were deposited on sapphire substrates by pulsed-laser deposition. We confirm that the magnetic behavior is intrinsic property of Co-doped ZnO nanocrystalline films. Oxygen vacancies play an important mediation role in Co-Co ferromagnetic coupling. The thermal irreversibility of field-cooling and zero field-cooling magnetizations reveals the presence of superparamagnetic behavior in our films, while no evidence of metallic Co clusters was detected. The origin of the observed superparamagnetism is discussed. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
