Interactions, disorder and local defects in graphite

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

Recent experiments report the existence of ferromagnetic and superconducting fluctuations in graphite at unexpectedly high temperatures. The interplay of disorder and interactions in a 2D graphene layer is shown to give rise to a rich phase diagram where strong coupling phases can become stable. Local defects can explain the ferromagnetic signals.
