摘要
MgO nanocrystalline powders prepared by sol-gel method present room-temperature ferromagnetism, whereas MgO bulk exhibits diamagnetism. The vacuum annealing of MgO nanocrystalline powders reduces ferromagnetism. The observed room-temperature ferromagnetism in MgO nanocrystalline powders possibly originates from Mg vacancies at/near the surfaces of nanograins. Mg vacancies can induce local magnetic moments. Large concentrations of Mg vacancies at the surfaces of nanograins possibly establish magnetic percolation.
