Defect-induced ferromagnetism in crystalline SrTiO3

Abstract

Plasma irradiation of high-quality SrTiO3 single crystals leads to room-temperature ferromagnetism. The saturation magnetization is about two orders of magnitude larger than in the pristine material. Structural analysis revealed a polycrystalline layer at the sample surface induced by the plasma irradiation. The results are discussed in the frame of grain-boundary-induced defect ferromagnetism.
