Abstract

We have studied magnetism in Ti_{1 - x}Co_xO _{2 - δ} thin films with various x and δ by soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements at the Co L_{2, 3} absorption edges. The estimated ferromagnetic moment by XMCD was 0.15-0.24μ_B/Co at the surface, while in the bulk it was 0.82-2.25μ_B/Co, which is in the same range as the saturation magnetization of 1.0-1.5μ_B/Co. These results suggest an intrinsic origin of the ferromagnetism. The smaller moment of the Co atom at the surface is an indication of a magnetically dead layer of a few nanometers thick at the surface of the thin films.
