In many cases, lattice distortions give rise to localized states at the Fermi level. Electron-electron interactions lead to the existence of local moments. The RKKY interaction between these moments is always ferromagnetic, due to the semimetallic properties of graphene", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-05-23T12:32:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "graphene layers", "local defects", "ferromagnetism", "lattice defects", "semimetallic properties" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
