Vacancy-Mediated Magnetism in Pure Copper Oxide Nanoparticles

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Room temperature ferromagnetism (RTF) is observed in pure copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles which were prepared by precipitation method with the post-annealing in air without any ferromagnetic dopant. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) result indicates that th...
