We have investigated the surface magnetism of 5 at% Co‐doped rutile TiO 2 (110) using magnetization‐induced optical second harmonic generation (MSHG) in the longitudinal Kerr configuration with the incident beam angle of 4° . MSHG is observed at both 2 ħ ω = 2.33 eV and 2 ħ ω = 4.20 eV. MSH intensity showed a hysteresis as a function of the external magnetic field for the second harmonic photon energy of 2 ħ ω = 4.20 eV at which the absorption length limits the MSHG origin to the surface layer of 10 nm due to the TiO 2 bulk. Since 5 at% Co: TiO 2 (110) is judged to have no metallic Co near the top surface by XPS, the hysteresis is attributed to a carrier‐induced ferromagnetism at the surface of this material.
