摘要
We report a synthesis method to stabilize TiO2 rutile nanopartides (around 10 nm) and keep the particle size when reduced down to TiO1.84. TiO2-delta nanoparticles exhibit room-temperature ferromagnetism that becomes stronger for TiO1.84. The reduction mechanism to stabilize Magneli phases excludes a relevant influence of oxygen vacancies in the modification of the magnetic properties. The arrangement of Ti3+ could give rise to hopping of the single 3d electron inducing local ferromagnetic-like behavior.
