Two types of graphene nanoribbons: (a) potassium-split graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), and (b) oxidative unzipped and chemically converted graphene nanoribbons (CCGNRs) were investigated for their magnetic properties using the combination of static magnetization and electron spin resonance measurements. The two types of ribbons possess remarkably different magnetic properties. While the low temperature ferromagnet-like feature is observed in both types of ribbons, such room temperature feature persists only in potassium-split ribbons. The GNRs show negative exchange bias, but the CCGNRs exhibit a positive exchange bias. Electron spin resonance measurements infer that the carbon related defects may responsible for the observed magnetic behaviour in both types of ribbons. Furthermore, proton hyperfine coupling strength has been obtained from hyperfine sublevel correlation experiments performed on the GNRs. Electron spin resonance provides no indications for the presence of potassium (cluster) related signals, emphasizing the intrinsic magnetic nature of the ribbons. Our combined experimental results may infer the coexistence of ferromagnetic clusters with anti-ferromagnetic regions leading to disordered magnetic phase. We discuss the origin of the observed contrast in the magnetic behaviours of these two types of ribbons.
A central question in the field of graphene-related research is how graphene behaves when it is patterned at the nanometer scale with different edge geometries. Perhaps the most fundamental shape relevant to this question is the graphene nanoribbon (
We study the low energy spin excitations of zigzag graphene nanoribbons of varying width. We find their energy dispersion at small wave vector to be dominated by antiferromagnetic correlations between the ribbons edges, in accrodance with previous ca
We address the electronic structure and magnetic properties of vacancies and voids both in graphene and graphene ribbons. Using a mean field Hubbard model, we study the appearance of magnetic textures associated to removing a single atom (vacancy) an
As the three-dimensional analogs of graphene, Weyl semimetals display signatures of chiral anomaly which arises from charge pumping between the lowest chiral Landau levels of the Weyl nodes in the presence of parallel electric and magnetic fields. In
The edge states in the integer quantum Hall effect are known to be significantly affected by electrostatic interactions leading to the formation of compressible and incompressible strips at the boundaries of Hall bars. We show here, in a combined exp
