Adsorbed atoms can lead to superconducting patches.
Structural modifications are key to magnetic properties in carbon materials.
Abstract
We review our recent work on magnetic properties of graphite and related carbon materials. The results demonstrate that a structural disorder, topological defects, as well as adsorbed foreign atoms can be responsible for the occurrence of both ferromagnetic and superconducting patches in graphitic structures.
