  • The Co-doped TiO2 films (Co0.1Ti0.9O2-∆) are prepared on silicon substrates by sol-gel method and post annealing. The Co0.1Ti0.9O2-∆ film annealed in air is non-ferromagnetic at room temperature. After further annealed in a vacuum, the room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) is observed. Experimental evidences show that the RTFM in the Co0.1Ti0.9O2-∆ film may come from the Co-doped TiO2 matrix and is related to the oxygen vacancies created by vacuum annealing.
