Abstract
New candidate ferromagnetic semiconductors have recently been grown by doping semiconducting transition-metal oxides with magnetic impurities. Some of these exhibit ferromagnetism at and above room temperature. The critical question is why? In many cases, complex solid-state chemistry is involved in the synthesis and drives the resulting properties. The observation of room-temperature ferromagnetism in these materials must be accompanied by a careful identification of the phases and structures present in order to accurately identify the origin of the magnetism.Keywords
