Persistent Magnetism and Tunable Doping of Monolayer Graphene via Europium Density Modulation
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.The modulation of europium density at the graphene/rhenium interface enables electron doping of monolayer graphene both beneath and beyond the van Hove singularity. The interfacial europium is ferromagnetic, with a transition from a mixed Eu(II)/Eu(III) valence in the dense phase to a pure Eu(II) state in the diluted phase.
