Abstract:We present an analysis of the common features found in the magnetic properties of C60-based polymers (as obtained in our recent work: Phys. Rev. Lett., 90, 026801 (20003)) and the magnetic properties reported in other non-metallic ferromagnets (carbon- and/or non-carbon-based). Our analysis indicate that the magnetic phase of the C60-based polymers appear to be a sub-class of a new class of non-metallic ferromagnetic materials appearing with the same features that lead to a common formation mechanism of ferromagnetism.
