Room-temperature ferromagnetism has been observed in silicon oxide/silicon nitride composite films formed on Si substrates at different substrate temperatures, and the ferromagnetic properties of the samples have been found to depend on the silicon nitride content of the films. It is proposed that the ferromagnetism is related to the interface states between the silicon oxide particles and silicon nitride particles. The saturation magnetization (MS) reached its maximum value in the film produced at a substrate temperature of 400 °C. A further study on the magnetic properties of the film has been carried out using first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. The calculations suggest that the magnetic moments of the film originate from N 2p and Si 2p states in the vicinity of the hetoro-interface.
