In order to access the potential of graphene in spintronic devices, its ability to mediate magnetic exchange interactions has to be verified. We present the results of our investigations of the magnetic coupling between Co atoms and Ni(111) mediated by epitaxial graphene. Experimental and theoretical calculations reveal that individual Co atoms occupy two distinct adsorption sites, with different magnetic coupling to the underlying Ni(111) surface. We further report a transition from an antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic coupling with increasing Co coverage. Our results highlight the extreme sensitivity of the exchange interaction mediated by graphene to the adsorption site and to the in-plane coordination of the magnetic atoms.
