Scientific paper

Transparent pure and Cu-doped (2.5, 5 and 10 at. %) anatase TiO2 thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition technique on LaAlO3 substrates. The samples were structurally characterized by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The magnetic properties were measured using a SQUID. All films have a FM-like behaviour. In the case of the Cu-doped samples, the magnetic cycles are almost independent of the Cu concentration. Cu atoms are forming CuO and/or substituting Ti in TiO2. The thermal treatment in air promotes the CuO segregation. Since CuO is antiferromagnetic, the magnetic signals present in the films could be assigned to this Cu substitutionally replacing cations in TiO2.
