الوصف: We investigated the magnetic properties of hydrogen plasma treated ZnO single crystals by SQUID magnetometry. In agreement with the expected hydrogen penetration depth we found ferromagnetic behavior located at the first 20 nm of the H-treated surface of ZnO with magnetization at saturation up to 6 emu/g at 300 K and Curie temperature T$_c$ $\gtrsim $ 400 K. In the ferromagnetic samples a hydrogen concentration of a few atomic percent in the first 20 nm surface layer was determined by nuclear reaction analysis. The saturation magnetization of H-treated ZnO increases with the concentration of hydrogen.
