EARLIER STUDIES • a) R.R. Haering and P.R Wallace (J.Chem. Phys. Solids,1957) proved that for • graphene the dispersion relation of energy is?: at what energies? • E(k)=hv.k/2p (2) Esto no está probado a bajas densidades, • A densidad alta, mayor que 10^10, puede ser. • Linear in k, this implies no mass for the carriers LIKE PHOTONS AND SATISFY DIRAC EQUATION.(Gonzalez, Guinea and Vozmediano PRL 1992; Kopelevich, PRL 2004)?. • Also zero Fermi Energy. It is a zero gap semiconductor (no sabemos)??. • Notice: (h2/2m)k2 (2p)-2 for massive carriers. • b) Then to form graphite one has to couple graphene planes. McClure, PR 1957, and Slonczewski and Weiss PR 1858 coupled the graphene planes by a chemical tight binding model. This gives a γ(perpendicular to planes) of 340meV and aγ(parallel to planes) of 4000meV. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THESE VALUES?.

ANISOTROPIES • a) Binding energy in plane sp2 orbitals have energies of 3eV • b) Interplane binding energies are 42meV • THEREFORE THE BINDING ENERGIES RATIO IS 10-2. • c) The electrical conductivity measured (Esquinazi y Kopelevich 2003) has an anisotropy of 10-4– 10-6 with rplane(300K)=40mW.cm, for Cu=1.7mW.cm, Ti=43.1mW.cm. • d) Magnetoresistance (OMR) has anisotropies of 10-3.
Clarification of the role theγ´s and the current anysotropy and binding energies between planes • A) There has been discussions identifying γ(perp. to plane) with the binding energy between planes as well as giving the current anysotropy between planes. Recent work (Arovas; Esqunazi, Garcia and Guinea): • Eγ (binding)= γ(perp)2 /(4γ(para)= 7meV • Eexp(binding)=42.5meV= • Evdw+Eγ =38+7=45meV ( so the system is vdw). • B) γ(perp) does not carry current perpendicular because connect unequivalent atoms. Therefore neither contradicts anysotropy. • C)γ(perp) only defines curvature of bands and Fermi surface.
3.Metal or Insulator? • a) The in-plane resistivity is of the order of electrical resistivities of ordinary metals but very large, semiconducting at low T perpendicular to plane. • b) However a metal is not characterized by being a good conductor but by being a good screener of the electric field. • Metals have negative dielectric constant at optical frequencies, however graphite dielectric constant is: • eplane=5.6 + 7.0i , ez=2.25. Hoinkes, Rev. Mod. Phys.52, 933(1980); • Greenway et al, Phys. Rev. 178, 1340 (1969). • So, it is an insulator in z (perpendicular to plane), weak screening. Also an insulator in plane but with large absorption (large imaginary part) • This implies large charge and potential fluctuations and large field penetration. Then we propose to study graphite with electric field microscopy.
GRAPHITE REAL LIFE STRUCTURE The images show the in plane (a) and the c-axis orientation (b) of the crystallites of the HOPG sample. Note that the scan size is 600 x 200 µm and the crystallites observed here are in the 10 µm range of elongation, matching the results of EFM measurements. D. Spoddig, Leipzig

Note that the minima that occur at the coercive fields (zero or minimum of magnetization) are located at the third and fifth quartals, as expected. This is clearly qualitative different from the hysteresis loops fluxons in Josephson-coupled granular superconducting domains produce. Ciclo de Histeresis con H Resistance Histeresis magnetica

Note the difference in the hysteresis to the ferromagnetic case (Fig. 3), in particular the quartals where the minima are located, i.e. second and fourth quartals. This behavior is identical to that observed in our sample (3), see Fig. 3 in our manuscript. Esta histeresis corresponde a Josephson coupling entre fluxones • Histeresis en grafito
