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

TL;DR: In this paper, the electronic states of narrow graphene ribbons with zigzag and armchair edges were analyzed using the Dirac equation with appropriate boundary conditions, showing that the boundary condition allows a particlelike and a hole-like band with evanescent wave functions confined to the surfaces, which continuously turn into zero energy surface states as the width gets large.

Electron-electron interactions in graphene sheets
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the electron-electron interactions in a graphene layer are investigated and it is shown that short-range couplings are irrelevant and scale towards zero at low energies, due to the vanishing of density of states at the Fermi level.

Reentrant metallic behavior of graphite in the quantum limit.
TL;DR: Magnetotransport measurements performed on several well-characterized highly oriented pyrolitic graphite and single crystalline Kish graphite samples reveal a reentrant metallic behavior in the basal-plane resistance at high magnetic fields, when only the lowest Landau levels are occupied.

Zero-conductance resonances due to flux states in nanographite ribbon junctions
TL;DR: Electronic transport properties through junctions in nanographite ribbons are investigated using the Landauer approach, which shows a rich structure with sharp dips of zero conductance in the low-energy regime.

Ferromagnetism of a graphite nodule from the Canyon Diablo meteorite
TL;DR: It is suggested that the ferromagnetism is a magnetic proximity effect induced at the interface with magnetite or kamacite inclusions, which is strongly ferromagnetic at room temperature.
