Abstract
Nanoparticles of superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-δ(YBCO) (TC = 91K) exhibit ferromagnetism at room temperature while the bulk YBCO, obtained by heating the nanoparticles at high temperature (940 C), shows a linear magnetization curve. Across the superconducting transition temperature, the magnetization curve changes from that of a soft ferromagnet to a superconductor. Furthermore, our experiments reveal that not only nanoparticles of metal oxides but also metal nitrides such as NbN (TC = 6-12 K) and δ-MoN (TC ~ 6K) exhibit room-temperature ferromagnetism.
