Pressure-induced ferromagnetism of fullerenes

Ferromagnetic behavior of polymerized fullerenes appears quite close to the boundary where the fullerene molecules are destroyed. However, when the presence of a disordered or graphitic phase is detectable by the standard characterisation methods, the ferromagnetic features quickly disappear.
