Abstract

Using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism XMCD, x-ray absorption spectroscopy XAS, and energy filtered transmission electron microscopy, we provide evidence for a heterogeneous Co distribution in anatase Co:TiO2 magnetic semiconductor having a low Co concentration 1.4 at. %. Multiplet structure due to Co2+ is observed in XAS spectra, but suppressed due to the coexistence of metallic Co clusters and substitutional Co ions, whereas XMCD spectra resemble metallic Co. The presence of Co2+ can be correlated with earlier observations of impurity band conduction and Kondo behavior, whereas metallic Co clusters contribute to the ferromagnetism and anomalous Hall effect.
