In this article, the changes in the electronic structure induced by lattice defects in graphene planes were studied and it was shown that lattice distortions give rise to localized states at the Fermi level.Abstract:
We study the changes in the electronic structure induced by lattice defects in graphene planes. In many cases, lattice distortions give rise to localized states at the Fermi level. Electron-electron interactions lead to the existence of local moments. The RKKY interaction between these moments is always ferromagnetic, due to the semimetallic properties of graphene.read more

Geometric influence on Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interactions in zigzag carbon nanotubes.
Judith Bunder,James M. Hill +1 more
TL;DR: An analytic description of the spin susceptibility in finite length zigzag carbon nanotubes (CNT) with chirality (n, 0) is derived, which shows that the strongest RKKY interactions are along the edges of the nanotube and in the thermodynamic limit at half filling with spin symmetry.

Charged Topological Solitons in Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons
M. P. López-Sancho,Luis Brey +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that topological solitons appear at the interface between degenerate ground states, which are the relevant charge excitations in the system when charge is added to the nanoribbon, the system energetically prefers to create magnetic domains and accommodate the extra electrons in the interfaces rather than setting them in the conduction band.

Mechanistic view on efficient photodetection by solvothermally reduced graphene oxide
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have studied solvothermal reduction of graphene oxide in ethylene glycol and photodetection properties of as made RGO-based devices and achieved a responsivity value as high as 0.78 A W−1 with an external quantum efficiency of 62% at a bias of only 0.5 V.

TL;DR: Monocrystalline graphitic films are found to be a two-dimensional semimetal with a tiny overlap between valence and conductance bands and they exhibit a strong ambipolar electric field effect.

Band Structure of Graphite

TL;DR: In this paper, a perturbation calculation which starts with wave functions of the two-dimensional lattice and is applied to the three-dimensional graphite lattice is described and general features of the structure of the $\ensuremath{\pi}$ bands in the neighborhood of the zone edge are obtained and are expressed in terms of appropriate parameters.

Induced magnetic ordering by proton irradiation in graphite.
TL;DR: Evidence that proton irradiation of energy 2.25 MeV on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite samples triggers ferro- or ferrimagnetism is provided and magnetic ordering is stable at room temperature.

Magnetic nanographite
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that hydrogenation of nanographite is able to induce finite magnetization and demonstrated the spontaneous magnetism of a graphene ribbon in which each carbon is bonded to two hydrogen atoms at one edge and to a single hydrogen atom at another edge.
