Abstract
The discovery of anomalous magnetic and transport properties in Highly-Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) showed that significant research work is still needed to fully understand the basic properties of carbon materials. The study presented here attempts at further elucidating the arising of magnetic properties in HOPG through the application of various types of magnetic fields (MF) to HOPG. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Atomic and Magnetic Force Microscopy (AFM and MFM) are used to monitor HOPG structural and magnetic properties.
