2016, Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic MaterialsCitation Excerpt :However, their ferromagnetism, which is to say its existence and underlying origin, remains controversial. Whereas Torres et al. [3] have reported paramagnetism in Fe-doped TiO2 samples, Xing et al. [7] have reported ferromagnetism in Cr-doped In2O3 samples. In any case, most recent reports support the existence of intrinsic ferromagnetisms due to the presence of oxygen vacancies or metal interstitial defects [4–7,10], or alternatively, to the formation of magnetic clusters [8,9].

2013, Current Applied PhysicsCitation Excerpt :Initial attempt on oxide based DMS was started by Matsumoto et al. in Co doped TiO2 thin film, prepared by combinatorial pulsed-laser-deposition (PLD) molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE), and obtained a Tc well above room temperature [5]. Although several reports have appeared on magnetism in oxide based diluted semiconductors, the results diverge from each other and therefore the intrinsic nature of magnetism have been questioned by the scientific community [6–11]. The search for room temperature ferromagnetism is carried out in Mn doped TiO2 thin film, nanoparticles, etc.

2013, Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic MaterialsCitation Excerpt :Gamelin et al. [15] reported the observation of intrinsic ferromagnetism in 3.0–4.0 at% Co-doped TiO2 nanocrystals. Torres et al. [16] observed paramagnetism and clustering in 2.8 and 5.4 at% Fe-doped TiO2 nanoparticles. However, in some cases the observed ferromagnetism in doped TiO2 is because of magnetic impurities precipitated out in host lattice [17–19].
