Abstract
The structure and magnetic properties of different titanium oxide films doped withmagnetic impurities are investigated both in the as-deposited state and after thermaltreatments in a vacuum. The samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-rayphotoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and vibratingsample magnetometry. In the as-deposited films, ferromagnetism was shown to becaused by the formation of magnetic clusters during the deposition. Heating ofTi1−xCoxO2−δ films in a vacuum up to high temperatures and the following quenching thereof result inpartial dissolution of the clusters with the magnetic ions being incorporated into thematrix. The low-temperature vacuum annealing leads to an increase of weakferromagnetism in the semiconductor solid solution.
