Abstract

We report room-temperature ferromagnetism of graphitic petal arrays grown on Si substrates by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition without catalyst. The samples have been characterized by Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to confirm the absence of possible ferromagnetic impurities. The petals exhibit ferromagnetic hysteresis with saturation magnetization of ∼4.67 emu cm−3 and coercivity of ∼105 Oe at 300 K, comparable to the reported behavior of few-layer graphene. Upon O2annealing the saturation magnetization and coercivity decreased to 2.1 emu cm−3 and ∼75 Oe respectively. The origin of ferromagnetism is believed to arise from the edge defects and vacancies in the petals.
