Magnetism in amorphous carbon
Abstract
We investigate reported ferromagnetism in a new form of amorphous carbon. We use spin constrained first-principles simulations to obtain amorphous carbon structures with the desired magnetization. Here, we show the existence of sp2-like threefold coordinated carbon atoms plays an important role in causing magnetism in amorphous carbon. We predict detailed geometries of threefold carbon atoms that induce the magnetic order in amorphous carbon.
