In recent years, ferromagnetism induced by natural defects of nonmagnetic semiconductors has been widely investigated and expected to be applied in spintronics. On this basis, we report the ferromagnetic behavior of copper (I) nitride (Cu3N) nanoparticles. A robust room temperature ferromagnetism is found in Cu3N nanoparticles with the saturated magnetization of 4 memu/g (300 K). Based on the element-specific X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and the density functional theory (DFT) analysis, it is concluded that the ferromagnetism of Cu3N nanoparticles originate from the surface Cu vacancies. Moreover, by increasing the surface area of Cu3N, the variation of magnetism is realized, and the surface states related to ferromagnetism is further revealed.

The absolute configuration of the diterpenoid 9,12-cyclomulin-13-ol (1), a constituent of Azorella and Laretia species, has been established by vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy in combination with density functional theory calculations. The obtained normal diterpene absolute configuration confirms that of azorellanol (2), which was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
