In recent years there has been an intense search for room temperature ferromagnetism in doped dilute semiconductors, which have many potentially applications spintronics and optoelectronics. We report here the unexpected observation of significant a semiconductor with nonmagnetic impurities, Cu-doped TiO$_2$ thin films grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition.
