Structural, optical, vibrational and magnetic properties of sol.gel auto-combustion assisted Zn1-xNixO (x = 0.3 mol%) nanoparticles have been characterized. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies show hexagonal wurtzite phase formation upto 1 mol% doping, confirming the substitution of Ni2+ ions. Photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy confirm existence of zinc interstitials (Zni) and oxygen vacancies (Vo). Both extrinsic Ni doping and intrinsic oxygen vacancy contribute to the observed ferromagnetism. Magnetization values derived from bound magnetic polaron (BMP) model match the observed changes in magnetization. Temperature dependent magnetization characteristics of 1 mol% Ni doped ZnO exhibits distinct zero field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) curves.
