Appearance of room-temperature ferromagnetism in Cu-doped TiO2-δ films

We report here the unexpected observation of significant room-temperature ferromagnetism in a semiconductor doped with nonmagnetic impurities, Cu-doped TiO2 thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition. The magnetic moment, calculated from the magnetization curves, resulted surprisingly large, about...

The magnetic moment, calculated from the magnetization curves, resulted surprisingly large, about 1.5μB per Cu atom. A large magnetic moment was also obtained from ab initio calculations, but only if an oxygen vacancy in the nearest-neighbor shell of Cu was present.
