Abstract:
This thesis is primarily concerned with the development and testing of various models
explaining the magnetic properties of semiconducting oxides doped with highly dilute
concentrations of a magnetic impurity. Taking ZnO:Co as the prototypical material,
the Monte Carlo method is extensively employed to test the feasibility and to examine
the likelihood of these models explaining the unexpected experimental detection of
room temperature ferromagnetism in these materials.
