The effects of annealing atmosphere and temperature on the room temperature ferromagnetic behavior were investigated. The results show that the air-annealed samples has similar weak ferromagnetic behavior with the as-sintered samples, but the obvious ferromagnetic behavior is observed for the samples annealed in vacuum or Ar/H2 gas, indicating that the strong ferromagnetism is associated with high oxygen vacancies density. High saturation magnetization Ms=0.73 μB/Co and coercivity Hc=233.8Oe are obtained for the Ar/H2 annealed samples with pure single phase structure when annealing temperature is 600℃.展开更多
