Resumo

Co–ZnO inhomogeneous magnetic semiconductor thin films were synthesized on the subnanometer scale by sputtering. Room temperature ferromagnetism with high magnetization was found. Large negative magnetoresistance of 11% was found at room temperature, and its value increased with a decrease in temperature up to 36% at 4.8 K. The mechanism for large negative magnetoresistance is discussed.
