Abstract: We give a differential-geometric construction of Calabi-Yau fourfolds by the `doubling' method, which was introduced in cite{DY14} to construct Calabi-Yau threefolds. We also give examples of Calabi-Yau fourfolds from toric Fano fourfolds. Ingredients in our construction are emph{admissible pairs}, which were first dealt with by Kovalev in cite{K03}. Here in this paper an admissible pair $(overlineX,D)$ consists of a compact K"{a}hler manifold $overlineX$ and a smooth anticanonical divisor $D$ on $overlineX$. If two admissible pairs $(overline{X}_1,D_1)$ and $(overline{X}_2,D_2)$ with $di{m}_{mathbbC}overline{X}_i=4$ satisfy the emph{gluing condition}, we can glue $overline{X}_{1}setminus{D}_1$ and $overline{X}_{2}setminus{D}_2$ together to obtain a compact Riemannian $8$-manifold $(M,g)$ whose holonomy group $mathrmHol(g)$ is contained in $mathrmSpin(7)$. Furthermore, if the $widehatA$-genus of $M$ equals $2$, then $M$ is a Calabi-Yau fourfold, i.e., a compact Ricci-flat K"{a}hler fourfold with holonomy $mathrmSU(4)$. In particular, if $(overline{X}_1,D_1)$ and $(overline{X}_2,D_2)$ are identical to an admissible pair $(overlineX,D)$, then the gluing condition holds automatically, so that we obtain a compact Riemannian $8$-manifold $M$ with holonomy contained in $mathrmSpin(7)$. Moreover, we show that if the admissible pair is obtained from emph{any} of the toric Fano fourfolds, then the resulting manifold $M$ is a Calabi-Yau fourfold by computing $widehatA(M)=2$.
