Abstract

In order to study a possible magnetic proximity effect in magnetite-carbon structures, we have performed magnetization measurements of graphite-magnetite composites with different mass ratios as well as the measurement of the magnetoresistance of one of them and of the magnetization of a magnetite-carbon bilayer. The overall results do not indicate the induction of bulk ferromagnetism in graphite and disordered carbon structures through their contact with magnetite.
