We report the new functionality of room temperature ferromagnetism in CuO-ZnO heterostructures. Magnetic measurement results indicate the CuO-ZnO heterostructures show enhanced ferromagnetism contrary to the pure CuO (ZnO) and the observed ferromagnetism is proportional to the interface counts for the film-heterostructures, providing proof of interface related ferromagnetism. Our study suggests that magnetically functional interfaces could be an entirely new and novel design of magnetic…

TLDR
Comparison of x-ray absorption spectra of ZMO with those of ZnO epilayers at O K-, Zn K-, and L 3-edges indicates that the substitution of the Zn site with Mn enhances the charge-transfer (CT) transition and the presence ofZn vacancies (VZn) also dominate the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum, implying that the formation of numerous VZn defects plays an important role in activating FM interactions.

TLDR
The nearly perfectly octahedral shaped particles with 20, 40, and 85 nm edge length show a weak room-temperature ferromagnetism that can be attributed to ferromagnetic correlations appearing due to strained lattice configurations at the CoO/Co3O4 interface.

It is found that a sufficient amount of both oxygen vacancies (V(O)) and Cu impurities is essential to the observed ferromagnetism, and a non-negligible portion of Cu impurity is uninvolved in the magnetic order.
