| Title |
Theory of ferromagnetism in carbon foam |
| Date |
2005-04 |
| Description |
An explanation is proposed for spontaneous magnetism in the material, "carbon nanofoam," in terms of random ferrimagnetism. Wherever a carbon nanotube branches out, an electron trap is created at the junction. Electrons occupying neighboring junctions align their spins antiparallel. |
