To evaluate local atomic structures around Co in high temperature diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor Co-doped TiO{sub 2}, x-ray fluorescence holography and x-ray absorption fine structure experiments were carried out on rutile paramagnetic Ti{sub 0.99}Co{sub 0.01}O{sub 2} and ferromagnetic Ti{sub 0.95}Co{sub 0.05}O{sub 2} films. The Co atoms in the Ti{sub 0.99}Co{sub 0.01}O{sub 2} simply substituted for Ti sites in the rutile structure, whereas a suboxidic arrangement of CoO{sub 2}Ti{sub 4} formed around Co in the Ti{sub 0.95}Co{sub 0.05}O{sub 2} films. A theoretical investigation based on a series of first-principles calculations indicated the stability of the aggregated suboxidic clusters in the rutile TiO{sub 2}, supporting our hypothesis for the formation of suboxidic coordination in the highly Co-doped sample. The suboxidic coordination may be the source of strong exchange interaction, resulting in the high Curie temperature in Co-doped TiO{sub 2}.
