It is shown that a strong impurity potential induces short-range antiferromagnetic (ferrimagnetic) order around itself in a Hubbard model on a half-filled honeycomb lattice. This implies that short-range magnetic order is induced in…

We study the effect of a sharply localized magnetic field on the electron transport in a strip (ribbon) of graphene sheet, which allows to give results for the transmission and reflection probability through magnetic barriers. The magnetic…
Magnetic impurities adsorbed on graphene are coupled magnetically via the itinerant electrons. This interaction opens a gap in the band structure of graphene. The result strongly depends on how the magnetic impurities are distributed. While…
