Abstract

We report here the observation of ferromagnetism (FM) at 300 K in mixtures of TiO₂ and Co₃O₄ powders despite the antiferromagnetic and diamagnetic characters of both oxides, respectively. The ferromagnetic behavior is found in the early stages of reaction and only for TiO₂ in anatase structure; no FM is found for identical samples prepared with rutile-TiO². Optical spectroscopy and x-ray absorption spectra confirm a surface reduction of octahedral Co^(+3) -> Co^(+2) in the mixtures which is in the origin of the observed magnetism.
