Glass Like Nature Of Magnetic Ordering In MCl2-GICs

Graphite intercalation compounds (GIC) form an interesting family of sandwich type layer structure compounds of graphite with intercalated atoms or molecules (intercalant, I), which are regularly separated by a certain number of carbon layers from the adjacent I-layers. Owing to the so called staged structure, each I-layer, especially of high stage GIC is well approximated a two-dimensional (2D) lattice system1
