The clarification of ferromagnetism in dilute magnetic oxides (DMOs) is of vital importance to realize future spintronic devices. However, the mixed control of carriers, defects, and spin in most cases is inconvenient to disclose the origin of ferromagnetism in DMOs. The perovskite complex compound of (La,Sr)TiO3 is apt to the independent control of carriers, defects, or spin through the codoping method. Here we demonstrate the combined experimental and theoretical studies on the cobalt–carbon complexes that can lead to the room-temperature ferromagnetism in perovskite chemically modified La0.4Sr0.6Ti1–xCoxO3 (LSTCO) samples. Such complexes are investigated by studying the dependence of magnetization on the concentrations of Co dopants and the in situ produced carbon that substitutes for some of the lattice oxygen atoms. The origin of ferromagnetism is attributed to the long-range-mediated magnetization among Co2+–C complexes through percolation-bound magnetic polarons, as strongly supported by the contro...
