I am working on dilute magnetic semiconductors, cobalt doped ZnO prepared using sol gel spin coating method. when I use DMF (dimethylformamide) as solvent , I get easily dissolving up to 15% without heating and without any stabilizer. Is there any way that I could use DMF as solvent instead of traditional ethanols? And can I use my thin film samples to study them for magnetic characterization?

I have not seen any paper reporting magnetism with DMF as far as my survey is concerned, only with methoxyethanol.
