It has been shown that graphite intercalation compounds present peculiar characteristics such as dramatic changes in the transport, optical and catalytic properties compared to bulk graphite, or even superconductivity. The intercalation of elements between graphene and its substrate can also influence the properties of graphene. In particular, this approach opens a new route to explore the behavior of graphene on a magnetic substrate.
Here, using the spin-polarized STM technique, we are able to study the structure, as well as the local electronic and magnetic properties of graphene on a magnetic substrate, where the magnetic substrate is obtained by the intercalation of a cobalt layer between graphene and an Ir(111) surface. The experimental results are compared to DFT calculations.
