The size dependence of the magnetic edge states in zigzag graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) with different aspect ratios is studied using density functional theory. The results show that GNFs smaller than a certain critical size exhibit a closed‐shell nonmagnetic ground state, whereas at the critical size or larger, the nanoflakes have an open‐shell antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state with a spin density...
