Abstract:
The geometric structure, electronic structure and magnetic properties of substitutionally Mo-doped graphene are studied based on first-principles calculations. Mo introduces a magnetic moment of 2 μB in graphene. The magnetic properties and band structure can be well understood using a hybridization model. Magnetic coupling between two Mo impurities is also discussed. Depending on the relative position of the two Mo impurities, the ground state of the system can be ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic or paramagnetic. A Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY)-like behavior is observed when the distance between Mo atoms is relatively large. However, when the distance between Mo atoms is rather small, the RKKY model is not suitable to describe the magnetic ordering due to their non-neglectable direct interactions.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
