Carbon atom vacancies in graphene give rise to a local magnetic moment of $\sigma+\pi$ origin, whose magnitude is yet uncertain and debated. Partial quenching of $\pi$ magnetism has been ubiquitously reported in periodic $first-principles$…

Two-dimensional carbon, or graphene, is a semi-metal that presents unusual low-energy electronic excitations described in terms of Dirac fermions. We analyze in a self-consistent way the effects of localized (impurities or vacancies) and…
Using magnetization measurements, we show that point defects in graphene - fluorine adatoms and irradiation defects (vacancies) - carry magnetic moments with spin 1/2. Both types of defects lead to notable paramagnetism but no magnetic…
We propose a mechanism explaining the generation of localized magnetic moments in charge-density-wave compounds. Our model Hamiltonian describes an Anderson impurity placed in a host material exhibiting the charge-density wave. There is a…
It has been shown recently that in spin precession experiments, the interaction of spins with localized states can change the response to a magnetic field, leading to a modified, effective spin relaxation time and precession frequency.…
