Theoretically, we expect ferromagnetism only for the case of MgO with cation defects. Experimentally, we observed a small magnetic signal probably due to imperfections in the lattice order, perhaps at the nanoparticles surface.engjournal article1879-2766https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssc.2009.06.044restricted access53Magnesium oxidesTitaniaIntrinsic defectsFirst-principlesFísica (Física)22 Física
