Abstract
The origin of ferromagnetism in Co-doped anatase TiO2 films was studied using the x-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the Co L2,3 edges. The substituted Co has a high spin Co2+ as in CoO, but the magnetic signal, which contributes to ∼0.1μB/Co in average, was found to be identical to that of Co metal, showing that the magnetic origin is a partial amount of clustered Co. The magnetic signal was enhanced greatly with thermal treatments, and the magnetic moment reached up to ∼1.55μB/Co, indicating that most of Co becomes clustered during the postannealing process.
