Room-temperature ferromagnetism (FM) is observed in Si-Al2O3 amorphous composite film. The magnetic moment is the highest in the case of the Si-Al2O3 composite films with the Si content being 15 vol.%, and distinct domains are detected in our films. The difference in magnetism property between sample annealed in Ar atmosphere and untreated composite film indicates that the observed ferromagnetism does not originate primarily from oxygen defects. It is concluded that the ferromagnetism arises from the direct coupling between defects. These defects orignate from the interface between Si particles and Al2O3 matrix. By varying the Si content in the film, one can change the defect density and thereby control the strength of the ferromagnetic coupling.
