Void defect is a possible origin of ferromagnetic like feature of pure carbon material. Applying density functional theory to void defect induced graphene nano ribbon (GNR), a detailed relationship between multiple spin state and structure change was studied. An equitorial triangle of an initial initial void having six electrons is distorted to isosceles triangle by rebonding carbon atoms. Among possible spin states, the most stable state was Sz=2/2. The case of Sz=4/2 is remarkable that initial flat ribbon turned to three dimentional curled one having highly polarized spin configuration at ribbon edges. Total energy of Sz=4/2 was very close to that of Sz=2/2, which suggests coexistence of flat and curled ribbons. As a model of three dimensional graphite, bilayered AB stacked GNR was analyzed. Spin distribution was limited to the void created layer. Distributed void triangle show 60 degree clockwise rotation for differrent site void, which was consistent with experimental observation using the scanning tunneling microscope.

Void-defect is a possible origin of ferromagnetic feature on pure carbon materials. In our previous paper, void-defect on graphene-nanoribbon show highly polarized spin configuration. In this paper, we studied cases for graphene molecules by quantum theory, by astronomical observation and by laboratory experiment. Model molecules for the density functional theory are graphene molecules of C23 and C53 induced by a void-defect. They have carbon pentagon ring within a hexagon network. Single void has three radical carbons, holding six spins. Those spins make several spin-states, which affects to molecular structure and molecular vibration, finally to infrared spectrum. The stable spin state was triplet, not singlet. This suggests magnetic pure carbon molecule. It was a surprise that those molecules show close infrared spectrum with astronomically observed one, especially observed on carbon rich planetary nebulae. We could assign major band at 18.9 micrometer, and sub-bands at 6.6, 7.0, 7.6, 8.1, 8.5, 9.0 and 17.4 micrometer. Also, calculated spectrum roughly coincides with that of laboratory experiment by the laser-induced carbon plasma, which is an analogy of cosmic carbon creation in interstellar space.
Void-defect induced magnetism of graphene molecule was recently reported in our previous paper of this series study. This paper investigated the case of hydrogenated graphene molecule, in chemical term, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). Molecula r infrared spectrum obtained by density functional theory was compared with astronomical observation. Void-defect on PAH caused serious structure change. Typical example of C23H12 had two carbon pentagon rings among hexagon networks. Stable spin state was non-magnetic singlet state. This is contrary to pure carbon case of C23, which show magnetic triplet state. It was discussed that Hydrogen played an important role to diminish magnetism by creating an SP3-bond among SP2-networks. Such a structure change affected molecular vibration and finally to photoemission spectrum in infrared region. The dication-C23H12 showed featured bands at 3.2, 6.3, 7.7, 8.6, 11.2, and 12.7 micrometer. It was surprising that those calculated bands coincided well with astronomically observed bands in many planetary nebulae. To confirm our study, large size molecule of C53H18 was studied. Calculation reproduced again similar astronomical bands. Also, small size molecule of C12H8 showed good coincidence with the spectrum observed for young stars. This paper would be the first report to indicate the specific PAH in space.
Atomic defects have a significant impact in the low-energy properties of graphene systems. By means of first-principles calculations and tight-binding models we provide evidence that chemical impurities modify both the normal and the superconducting states of twisted bilayer graphene. A single hydrogen atom attached to the bilayer surface yields a triple-point crossing, whereas self-doping and three-fold symmetry-breaking are created by a vacant site. Both types of defects lead to time-reversal symmetry-breaking and the creation of local magnetic moments. Hydrogen-induced magnetism is found to exist also at the doping levels where superconductivity appears in magic angle graphene superlattices. As a result, the coexistence of superconducting order and defect-induced magnetism yields in-gap Yu-Shiba-Rusinov excitations in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene.
Ab initio total energy calculations show that the antiferromagnetic (111) order is not the ground state for the ideal CuMnSb Heusler alloy in contrast to the results of neutron diffraction experiments. It is known, that Heusler alloys usually contain various defects depending on the sample preparation. We have therefore investigated magnetic phases of CuMnSb assuming the most common defects which exist in real experimental conditions. The full-potential supercell approach and a Heisenberg model approach using the coherent potential approximation are adopted. The results of the total energy supercell calculations indicate that defects that bring Mn atoms close together promote the antiferromagnetic (111) structure already for a low critical defect concentrations ($approx$ 3%). A detailed study of exchange interactions between Mn-moments further supports the above stabilization mechanism. Finally, the stability of the antiferromagnetic (111) order is enhanced by inclusion of electron correlations in narrow Mn-bands. The present refinement structure analysis of neutron scattering experiment supports theoretical conclusions.
We investigate the interactions between two identical magnetic impurities substituted into a graphene superlattice. Using a first-principles approach, we calculate the electronic and magnetic properties for transition-metal substituted graphene syste ms with varying spatial separation. These calculations are compared for three different magnetic impurities, manganese, chromium, and vanadium. We determine the electronic band structure, density of states, and Millikan populations (magnetic moment) for each atom, as well as calculate the exchange parameter between the two magnetic atoms as a function of spatial separation. We find that the presence of magnetic impurities establishes a distinct magnetic moment in the graphene lattice, where the interactions are highly dependent on the spatial and magnetic characteristic between the magnetic atoms and the carbon atoms, which leads to either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic behavior. Furthermore, through an analysis of the calculated exchange energies and partial density of states, it is determined that interactions between the magnetic atoms can be classified as an RKKY interaction.
