Abstract

We successfully produced a dopant-free oxygen-defective HfO₂₋_x film that exhibit room-temperature ferromagnetism via a heat treatment of metallic Hf foil at 1673 K for 10 h under an oxygen partial pressure of 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ atm. The sample, which exhibits ∼50% transmission of visible light, demonstrates room-temperature ferromagnetism, with saturation and residual magnetizations of ∼0.05 emu/g and ∼0.005 emu/g, respectively. The HfO₂₋_x film comprises columnar grains several hundred nanometers wide and several micrometers long. High-angle annular dark-field scanning electron microscopy observations indicated that the tetragonal HfO₂ structure was distributed in nanodomains within the monoclinic HfO₂ grains; that is, the films exhibited a hybridized microstructure. The tetragonal HfO₂ structure would be mainly due to the introduction of oxygen deficiencies, which led to the room-temperature ferromagnetism.

期刊介绍： The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials. Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas: Enabling materials for grand challenges[...] Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...] Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...] Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...] JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
