Room-temperature ferromagnetism in nanocrystalline Cu/Cu2O core-shell structures prepared by magnetron sputtering

Cu/Cu2O core-shell nanoparticles with diameters around 8–9 nm have been fabricated by magnetron sputtering pure Cu targets with subsequent annealing in oxygen. Room-temperature ferromagnetism (FM) was observed in the samples annealed at 150 °C for 10–120 min. The maximum of saturated magnetization i...
