Polycrystallinehas been fabricated by the standard solid-state reaction method in the concentration range. Ferromagnetic characteristics are observed except for thesamples. X-ray diffraction spectra show a pure CuO phase whenand the appearance of a secondary phasewhen. Analyses of the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the unit cell volume, and magnetism indicate that manganese in the form ofis incorporated into CuO for thesamples. The susceptibility ofcan be well fitted by the modified Curie-Weiss law above the Curie temperature. To improve the magnetism, we additionally doped a third element aluminum inand observed an enhancement of the ferromagnetism. In order to investigate the role of holes in ferromagnetic coupling, lithium was also doped in the sample using the sol-gel method, and a suppression of ferromagnetism was observed (ferromagnetism completely disappears whenin). The observed ferromagnetism in Mn-doped CuO is discussed on the basis of the formation of bound magnetic polarons.
