Abstract
Magnetic properties of zigzag edges of single-layer graphene were investigated by ferromagnetic resonance (FMR)/electron spin resonance (ESR) technique. We observed the FMR lines in single-layer graphene, which provide the most direct experimental proof of the theoretical prediction of ferromagnetic correlations at zigzag edges. To explain the observed temperature dependence of the FMR lines we analyzed the magnetic spin correlation length, which is responsible for magnetic ordering in these quasi-1D ferromagnetic nanodomains formed by zigzag edges. ESR spectra of conduction electrons were also studied.
