▎ 摘  要

The pi electron cloud above and below the honeycomb structure of graphene causes each carbon atom to carry a permanent electric quadrupole moment which can attach any cation to impart interesting physical properties. We have synthesized Fe intercalated graphene structures to investigate tunable magnetic properties as a result of this chemical modification. An interesting antiferro quadrupolar ordering is observed which arises due to a coupling between magnetic dipole moment of Fe and electric quadrupole moment on graphene surface. In contrast to antiferromagnetic Neel temperature (T-N), here the ordering temperature (T-Q) increases from 35.5 K to 47.5 K as the magnetic field is raised upto 1 Tesla. (C) 2013 Author(s).
