Ferromagnetism in MgO by Nitrogen Doping

The new group, dilute ferromagnetic oxide and nitride, provides a promising technology potential to combine the magnetic and electronic properties. For the viewpoint of practical spintronics applications, interest in developing ferromagnetism with high Curie temperature (Tc) have triggered intensive studies in various oxides usually by doping transition metals (TMs) or rare earth metals (REs). This study is to investigate ferromagnetism in Mgo by nitrogen doping.
