TLDR
It is found that the magnetizations of the TM-doped TiO2 films decrease with increasing dopant content, which is related to electric disorder due to the ART.Abstract:
Transition metal (TM)-doped TiO2 films (TM = Co, Ni, and Fe) were deposited on Si(100) substrates by a sol–gel method. With the same dopant content, Co dopants catalyze the anatase-to-rutile transformation (ART) more obviously than Ni and Fe doping. This is attributed to the different strain energy induced by the different dopants. The optical properties of TM-doped TiO2 films were studied with spectroscopic ellipsometry data. With increasing dopant content, the optical band gap (EOBG) shifts to lower energy. With the same dopant content, the EOBG of Co-doped TiO2 film is the smallest and that of Fe-doped TiO2 film is the largest. The results are related to electric disorder due to the ART. Ferromagnetic behaviors were clearly observed for TM-doped TiO2 films except the undoped TiO2 film which is weakly magnetic. Additionally, it is found that the magnetizations of the TM-doped TiO2 films decrease with increasing dopant content.read more

TL;DR: In this article , anatase TiO2 nanoparticles doped either with Li or Ni have been synthesized via hydrolysis in variable concentrations, showing that despite the low concentration of dopants, variations in the Raman and Photoluminescence signals were observed in the doped nanoparticles, mainly due to non-stoichiometry and oxygen deficiency promoted by Li and Ni doping.

Paramagnetism and super paramagnetism of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide powders
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that the dependence on the magnetic field can be approximated by the function that is a linear combination of two Langevin functions with different parameters, and that the contribution of two types of paramagnetic centers are present in both undoped and doped powders.

Zener Model Description of Ferromagnetism in Zinc-Blende Magnetic Semiconductors
TL;DR: Zener's model of ferromagnetism, originally proposed for transition metals in 1950, can explain T(C) of Ga(1-)(x)Mn(x)As and that of its II-VI counterpart Zn(1)-Mn (x)Te and is used to predict materials with T (C) exceeding room temperature, an important step toward semiconductor electronics that use both charge and spin.

Donor impurity band exchange in dilute ferromagnetic oxides.
TL;DR: It is proposed thatferromagnetic exchange here, and in dilute ferromagnetic nitrides, is mediated by shallow donor electrons that form bound magnetic polarons, which overlap to create a spin-split impurity band.
