Abstract

Abstract : Owing to a large diamagnetism, graphene flakes can respond and be aligned to magnetic field like a ferromagnetic material. Aligned graphene flakes exhibit emergent properties approaching single‐layer graphene. Anisotropic optical properties also give rise to a magnetic writing board using graphene suspension and a bar magnet as a pen. This simple alignment technique opens up enormous applications of graphene.
