The discovery of reversible 300 K ferromagnetic ordering in a diluted magnetic semiconductor is reported. Switching of room-temperature ferromagnetism between "on" and "off" states is achieved in Co2+:ZnO by lattice incorporation and removal of the native n-type defect, interstitial Zn. Spectroscopic and magnetic data implicate a double-exchange mechanism for ferromagnetism. These results demonstrate for the first time reversible room-temperature ferromagnetic ordering in a diluted magnetic semiconductor, and present new opportunities for integrating magnetism and conductivity in semiconductor sensor or spin-based electronics devices.
