Abstract
In this work, magnetization studies on quasi bi-dimensional nanoparticles o f Pd encapsulated in a graphite host as a function of magnetic field and te mperature are presented. We found that an important magnetic signal can be attributed to the Pd nanoparticles. The obtained magnetic behaviour is inte rpreted in view of theoretical studies which predict ferromagnetism in slab s of Pd with some monolayers of thickness.
