Graphene controls surface magnetism at room temperature
In a refreshing change of perspective, theoretical physicist Dr Zeila Zanolli has looked at the proximity effects of graphene on a magnetic semiconducting substrate, finding it to affect the substrate’s magnetism down to several layers below the surface. Her paper was published on 5 October in Physical Review B. Related work also led her to become one of three recipients of the first MaX Prize for frontier research in computational materials science.
