We report the magnitude of the induced magnetic moment in CVD-grown epitaxial and rotateddomain graphene as a result of the proximity effect in the vicinity of the ferromagnetic substrates Co and Ni, using polarised neutron reflectivity (PNR). Although rotated-domain graphene is known to interact weakly with the ferromagnetic underlayer in comparison with the epitaxial graphene, the PNR results indicate an induced magnetic moment of ∼ 0.57 µ B /C atom at 10 K for both structures. The origin of the induced magnetic moment is found to be due to the opening of the graphene's Dirac cone as a result of the strong C p z -3d hybridisation, which was confirmed by additional PNR measurements using a non-magnetic Ni 9 Mo 1 and Cu substrates. We validated our PNR fitting models using the Bayesian uncertainty analysis and corroborated the results by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
