Title: *Current progress on the growth and electronic properties of 
graphene/ferromagnet interfaces*

Abstract:

The integration of graphene with ferromagnetic materials has been the 
subject of extensive research in recent years due to its potential for 
revolutionizing the field of spintronics. Graphene is a two-dimensional 
material with remarkable electronic properties, while ferromagnetic 
materials can exhibit long-range spin order, making the combination of 
these two materials an attractive platform for spin-based applications 
such as magnetic sensors, spin filters, and spin valves. This talk will 
discuss three key aspects of this field.

First, the growth of graphene/ferromagnet interfaces is examined, 
including the different methods used to prepare these interfaces, such 
as the direct growth of graphene on ferromagnetic substrates and the 
recrystallization of graphene. In particular, the focus is given to the 
challenges associated with each method and the progress that has been 
made in optimizing the quality of the interface.

Second, the electronic states that emerge at the graphene/ferromagnet 
interface are explored, including the use of angle-resolved 
photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to probe the electronic structure of 
these interfaces and the emergence of spin-polarized states. As a study 
case, the relation between the rotational graphene domains and the 
spin-polarized electronic structure of the interface is presented.

Finally, the intercalation of different compounds at the 
graphene/ferromagnet interface is demonstrated, focusing on the use of 
intercalation to modify the electronic properties of the interface.

Overall, this talk provides a comprehensive overview of the field of 
graphene/ferromagnet interfaces, covering the growth of the interfaces, 
the emergence of spin-polarized electronic states, and the intercalation 
of different compounds.
