Nd3+ ions are successfully substituted into the crystal lattice of ZnO. The crystal structure, morphology, optical, and magnetic properties are comprehensively studied by various techniques. Significant changes are observed in the morphological and optical properties of the Nd substituted ZnO NRs. According to the magnetic measurements, the maximum Hc value is observed to be 39.04 Oe at a concentration of 3% Nd and the maximum Ms value is observed to be 20.52 x 10−6 emu at 7% Nd, whereas the maximum Mr value is measured as 1.86 x 10−6 emu at 5% Nd, confirming that the magnitude of magnetic parameters are independent of Nd concentration. An opposing correlation is found between the Hc value and the morphological properties (including crystallite size, average roughness, and aspect ratio) of Nd substituted ZnO NRs.falseMorphological properties | Nd substitution | Optical transmittance | Photoluminescence | Room temperature ferromagnetism | ZnO nanorodsArticle10.1016/j.cap.2021.12.00910.1016/j.cap.2021.12.0092-s2.0-85122283631WOS:0007830743000014557351878-1675
