Ferromagnetic properties were observed at room temperature for 57 Fe‐doped cupric oxide (CuO) film and powder samples. Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements on the Fe 0.02 Cu 0.98 O samples revealed that the octahedral Cu 2+ sites are mostly substituted by Fe 3+ ions. Both ferromagnetic and paramagnetic Fe 3+ signals were detected. The Fe 0.02 Cu 0.98 O samples were found to be ferromagnetic even above the Néel temperature of CuO. A carrier localized around oxygen vacancy can mediate a ferromagnetic coupling among neighboring Fe 3+ ions. Additional Li doping into Fe 0.02 Cu 0.98 O resulted in an increase of the ferromagnetic strength. Unpaired s 1 electron in interstitial Li atom is likely to mediate a ferromagnetic coupling between neighboring spins. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
