In this paper we have investigated the study of different properties and effect of Swift Heavy Ion (SHI) irradiation on Zn1−xMnxO thin films with 5% concentration of Mn. The samples were synthesized by dip-coating technique. X-ray diffraction revealed that the increase the particle size with enhanced the Mn concentration up to 5 % and increase the intensity after SHI irradiation on the thin films. Unit cell parameters, a and c, reduced with the enhancing the Mn content as well as SHI irradiation, which indicated that Mn ions substitute into the lattice of ZnO. The presence of functional groups and Zn-O stretching vibration mode in the samples were observed from FTIR spectra. A strong ZnO band was observed from the Raman spectra for pristine ZnO samples as well as irradiated, while the presence of a strong ZnO band for the intensive phonon mode at 436.19 cm−1 were confirmed at fluences 5×1012 ions per cm2 in all pristine as well as irradiated thin films.
