Co-doped TiO2(CoxTi1−xO2, 0.05⩽x⩽0.2) films have been prepared on Si (001) substrates by sol–gel method. When heat treated in air, CoxTi1−xO2films are non-ferromagnetic at room temperature. However, after further annealed in a flowing hydrogen atmosphere, CoxTi1−xO2films show room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM). Measurements of magnetization (M) vs. temperature (T), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) fail to detect Co clusters in the hydrogenated Co0.1Ti0.9O2films, suggesting that RTFM in the hydrogenated Co0.1Ti0.9O2films may be intrinsic. But, metal Co appears in the hydrogenated Co0.2Ti0.8O2films, showing that RTFM in the hydrogenated Co0.2Ti0.8O2films is as least partly due to metal Co. These results indicate that hydrogen annealing can produce room-temperature ferromagnetism in CoxTi1−xO2films, but it should be carefully designed to avoid the formation of metal Co in the hydrogenated CoxTi1−xO2films.
