The mechanism of ferromagnetism in doped oxides is under active debate. We reexamine doped TiO₂ anatase, using epitaxial Cr:TiO₂ with excellent structural quality as a model system. In contrast to highly oriented but defective Cr:TiO₂ (~0.5 µB/Cr), these structurally superior single crystal films exhibit negligible ferromagnetism. We show for the first time that charge compensating oxygen vacancies alone, as predicted by F-center mediated exchange, are not sufficient to activate ferromagnetism. Instead, the onset of ferromagnetism correlates with the presence of structural defects.
