We studied optical and magneto-optical properties of a series of (Zn,Mn)O samples with various Mn contents. The samples were prepared by ion-beam implantation with 55Mn into ZnO substrates. Multiple ion energies ranging from 20 to 450 keV were used in order to create a box-like homogeneous distribution of the implanted ions. By choosing different ion fluencies, samples with Mn concentrations from 0.1 % to 4 % were obtained. Post-implantation annealing procedures were performed at different temperatures and various lengths of time to remove the implantation-introduced damage and to reduce the Mn killer center density. The evolution of optical and magneto-optical properties as a function of Mn concentration and the effect of annealing process were studied in order to obtain better understanding of Mn incorperation into ZnO.
