Abstract:Herein we report the existence of room temperature ferromagnetic ordering in pristine cuprous oxide nanocrystals mediated by native point defects present in the material. To demonstrate defect‐induced magnetism, cuprous oxide nanocrystals were synthesized in a simple and sustainable route employing hydroxylamine as the reducing agent. The crystalline phase of the as‐synthesized nanocrystals was investigated and was found to have crystallized in cuprite crystal structure. The optical absorption characteristics … Show more
