Ferromagnetism usually only occurs in materials containing elements that form covalent 3d and 4f bonds. Its occurrence in pure carbon is therefore surprising, even controversial. A systematic magnetic force microscope study indicates that ferromagnetism in graphite is the result of localized spins that arise at grain boundaries.

Emergence of magnetism in graphene materials and nanostructures (2010, background): “…a combination of scanning probe techniques and magnetization measurements, Červenka and co-authors have shown that the intrinsic ferromagnetism of graphite is related to the presence of grain boundaries which can be considered as 2D periodic networks of point defects (Červenka et al., 2009).”
