Nano sized diluted magnetic semiconductor Co2+ :ZnO (with composition Zn0.99Co0.01O) was prepared by sol-gel method and studied for the effect of annealing on ferromagnetic charge ordering using charge density studies. Powder XRD data sets of the samples annealed at various temperatures (500, 600, 700, 800 and 900 degrees C) have been investigated by the Rietveld refinement analysis and the charge density distribution using the maximum entropy method (MEM). The mid bond electron densities between the Zn(Co) and O atoms are analyzed to understand the origin of ferromagnetic behaviour between the temperature range 600-700 degrees C. Zn0.99Co0.010 is found to switch on the ferromagnetic behaviour range 600-700 degrees C and then to switch off. The charge ordering that results in ferromagnetic occurrence is dealt for the first time through charge density route. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
