Carbon materials are attracting increasing attention due to the novelty of the associated physical properties and the potential applications in high-tech devices. The possibility to achieve outstanding properties in macroscopic carbon…
Carbon foams are hypothetical carbon allotropes that contain graphite-like (sp$^2$ carbon) segments, connected by sp$^3$ carbon atoms, resulting in porous structures. In this work the DFTB (Density Functional based Tight-Binding) method…
Carbon is conventionally not associated with magnetism, and much of the discussion of its nanotechnology perspectives appears to be centered on its electron transport properties. Among the few existing examples of magnetic carbon…
We perform a first principle calculation on the electronic properties of carbon doped graphitic boron nitride graphitic BN. It was found that carbon substitution for either boron or nitrogen atom in graphitic BN can induce spontaneous…
Using the first-principles spin density functional approach, we have studied magnetism of a new type of all-carbon nanomaterials, i.e., the carbon nanowires inserted into the single-walled carbon nanotubes. It is found that if the 1D carbon…
We investigate magnetism in amorphous carbon as suggested by the recently reported ferromagnetism in a new form of amorphous carbon. We use spin constrained first-principles simulations to obtain amorphous carbon structures with the desired…
We present results of carbon coatings on metal substrates in cylindrical hollow cathode (CHC) direct current magnetron sputtering. This is a new technique of making amorphous carbon film in CHC magnetron sputtering from regenerative sooting…
Emergence of $\pi$-magnetism in open-shell nanographenes has been theoretically predicted decades ago but their experimental characterization was elusive due to the strong chemical reactivity that makes their synthesis and stabilization…
We use ab initio density functional calculations to study the formation and structural as well as thermal stability of cellular foam-like carbon nanostructures. These systems with a mixed $sp^2/sp^3$ bonding character may be viewed as…
We propose intrinsic magnetism in nanosheets of SnO$_{2}$, based on first-principles calculations. The electronic structure and spin density reveal that $p$ orbitals of the oxygen atoms, surrounding Sn vacancies, have a non itinerant nature…
Magnetic materials and nanostructures based on carbon offer unique opportunities for future technological applications such as spintronics. This article reviews graphene-derived systems in which magnetic correlations emerge as a result of…
Several experiments have recently found room-temperature ferromagnetism in graphite-like carbon based materials. This paper offers a model explaining such ferromagnetism by using an asymmetric nano-graphene. Our first typical model is…
We report on the preparation of ferromagnetic cobalt nanospheres with antiferromagnetic oxide capping layer and its implication for the variation in magnetic property. The hcp cobalt nanospheres were prepared by thermal decomposition of…
Nanoporous carbon materials containing small domains of sp2-carbon with highly disordered structures are promising for supercapacitor applications. Herein, we synthesize amorphous carbon nanofoam with 98% volumetric void fraction and low…
The detailed analysis of the problem of possible magnetic behavior of the carbon-based structures was fulfilled to elucidate and resolve (at least partially) some unclear issues. It was the purpose of the present paper to look somewhat more…
We use ab initio density functional calculations to study the stability, elastic properties and electronic structure of sp2 carbon minimal surfaces with negative Gaussian curvature, called schwarzites. We focus on two systems with cubic…
We report the discovery of a pristine crystalline 3D carbon that is magnetic, electrically conductive and stable under ambient conditions. This carbon material, which has remained elusive for decades, is synthesized by using the chemical…

Interaction-induced magnetism at the ends of carbon nanotubes is studied theoretically, with a special focus on magnetic anisotropies. Spin-orbit coupling, generally weak in ordinary graphene, is strongly enhanced in nanotubes. In…
