Magnetism in Carbon: Writing Magnetic Structures with a Proton Micro-Beam on Graphite Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent publications demonstrated the generation of magnetic order at room temperature on graphite surfaces after irradiation with protons. In this contribution we show that it is possible to produce magnetic structures in the micrometer range using a proton micro-beam by proton irradiation of the surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite samples. The experimental results are compared with micromagnetic simulations.

We discuss different magnetic phenomena observed in carbon-based structures, in particular the diamagnetism, paramagnetism and ferromagnetism observed in graphite, disordered carbon, fullerenes and irradiated carbon structures.
متن کاملNanosized graphene crystallite induced strong magnetism in pure carbon films.
We report strong magnetism in pure carbon films grown by electron irradiation assisted physical vapor deposition in electron cyclotron resonance plasma. The development of graphene nanocrystallites in the amorphous film matrix, and the dependence of the magnetic behavior on amorphous, nanocrystallite and graphite-like structures were investigated. Results were that the amorphous structure shows...
متن کاملMagnetic Nature of Intrinsic Carbon Defects
Magnetism is a phenomenon that has been known for a very long time. Iron, cobalt, and nickel are known ferromagnetic materials. It is less known, probably because it is so unexpected, that even carbon can have ferromagnetic behaviour. Experimentally this has been confirmed on many occasions within the last decade. Ferromagnetic behaviour of carbon provides an example of the fact that magnetism ...
متن کاملProton-induced magnetic order in carbon: SQUID measurements
In this work we have studied systematically the changes in the magnetic behavior of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) samples after proton irradiation in the MeV energy range. Superconducting quantum interferometer device (SQUID) results obtained from samples with thousands of localized spots of micrometer size as well on samples irradiated with a broad beam confirm previously reported ...
متن کاملFirst-principles study of defect-induced magnetism in carbon.
We have studied the role of defects on the magnetic properties of carbon materials using first-principles density functional methods. We show that, while the total magnetization decreases both for diamond and graphite with increase in vacancy density, the magnetization decreases more rapidly for graphitic structures. The presence of nitrogen nearby a vacancy is shown to produce larger macroscop...
