On the basis of recent experimental results reported in the literature (Science 2010, 327, 843.), we introduce a model in which the up and down spins within ultrafine diamagnetic system are spatially separated. The net magnetic moments within these systems arise from the imbalance between the spatial spin density distributions. This mechanism is distinct from that of the two well-known paradigms for magnetism, i.e., the localized ferromagnetism and the itinerant ferromagnetism. The influences of diameter and protective agents on the magnetic moments of these systems are also quantitatively taken into account in the proposed model. Our finding opens a new route toward room temperature ferromagnetic semiconductors without doping magnetic ions.
