摘要
Nanographene has unique edge-shape dependence of the electronic structure with non-bonding edge states being created in its zigzag edges. The presence of the edge state is experimentally confirmed in welldefined hydrogen-terminated zigzag edges by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) observations. In the three-dimensional (3D) disordered network of nanographite domains in nanoporous carbon (activated carbon fibers), the localized edge-state spins are in a spin-glass-like ordered state at low temperatures with the aid of exchange interactions whose strengths varies randomly in space, when the strengths of inter-nanographene and nanographite interactions are tuned. Chemical and structural modifications of nanographene edges change the magnetism of edge-state spins through covalent bond formation and charge transfer. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
