We have used density functional theory to study the electronic structure of the interfaces between graphite thin films and metal substrates. We found that unusual electron transfer from Ag to the graphite thin film occurs as a result of the spatial modulation of the Dirac point of the interfacial region of graphene la…

We performed the detailed investigation of the magnetization ( M ) of CeB 6 at low magnetic fields in the O x y -type antiferro-quadrupole (AFQ) ordered phase II to clarify the mechanism of the domain redistribution by magnetic field. Although M in phase II is isotropic above ∼1 kOe, it is anisotropic at lower magneti…
