A principal motivation to develop graphene for future devices has been its promise for quantum spintronics. Hyperfine and spin-orbit interactions are expected to be negligible in single-layer graphene. Spin transport experiments, on the…
We have carried out ab initio electronic structure calculations on graphane (hydrogenated graphene) with single and double vacancy defects. Our analysis of the density of states reveal that such vacancies induce the mid gap states and…
Magnetic properties of a single vacancy in graphene is a relevant and still much discussed problem. The experimental results point to a clearly detectable magnetic defect state at the Fermi energy, while calculations based on density…
We demonstrate direct evidence for ferromagnetic order at defect structures in highly oriented pyrolytic graphite with magnetic force microscopy at room temperature. Magnetic impurities have been excluded as the origin of the magnetic…
The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnets has opened up new possibilities for miniaturizing spintronic devices to the monolayer limit. 2D half-metals, capable of conducting fully spin-polarized currents when spin-orbit coupling is…
Magnetic materials and nanostructures based on carbon offer unique opportunities for future technological applications such as spintronics. This article reviews graphene-derived systems in which magnetic correlations emerge as a result of…
We show that, in graphene with a small concentration of adatoms, the total magnetic moment $\mu_T$ can be switched on and off by varying the Fermi energy $E_F$, either by applying a gate voltage or by suitable chemical doping. Our…
We study theoretically the physical properties of a magnetic impurity in graphene. Within the Anderson model for a very strong Coulomb interaction on the impurity, we start from the Slave-Boson method and introduce a topological picture…
We perform Monte Carlo simulations to study the interplay of structural and magnetic order in single layer graphene covered with magnetic adatoms. We propose that the presence of ripples in the graphene structure can lead to clustering of…
It is pointed out that point defects on graphene are strongly correlated and can not be treated as independent scatters. In particular, for large on-site defect potential, it is shown that defects induce an impurity band with density of…
We report on theoretical investigations of the spin-orbit coupling effects in fluorinated graphene. First-principles density functional calculations are performed for the dense and dilute adatom coverage limits. The dense limit is…
Void defect is a possible origin of ferromagnetic like feature of pure carbon material. Applying density functional theory to void defect induced graphene nano ribbon (GNR), a detailed relationship between multiple spin state and structure…
Vortex is a universal and significant phenomenon that has been known for centuries. However, creating vortices to the atomic limit has remained elusive because that the characteristic length to support a vortex is usually much larger than…
Ferromagnetism in graphene is fascinating, but it is still a big challenge for practical applications due to the weak magnetization. In order to enhance the magnetization, here, we design plasma-enabled graphene nanopetals with ultra-long…
The paper presents the author view on spin-rooted properties of graphene supported by numerous experimental and calculation evidences. Dirac fermions of crystalline graphene and local spins of graphene molecules are suggested to meet a…
We demonstrate the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in single-layer graphene exchange-coupled to an atomically flat yttrium iron garnet (YIG) ferromagnetic thin film. The anomalous Hall conductance has magnitude of ~0.09(2e2/h) at low…
We review the problem of adatoms in graphene under two complementary points of view, scattering theory and strong correlations. We show that in both cases impurity atoms on the graphene surface present effects that are absent in the physics…
Adatoms offer an effective route to modify and engineer the properties of graphene. In this work, we create dilute fluorinated graphene using a clean, controlled and reversible approach. At low carrier densities, the system is strongly…
The combination of the unique properties of graphene with spin polarization and magnetism for the design of new spintronic concepts and devices has been hampered by the small Coulomb interaction and the tiny spin-orbit coupling of carbon in…
We report on the magnetic properties of monovacancy defects in neutron-irradiated graphite, probed by $^{13}$C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The bulk paramagnetism of the defect moments is revealed by the temperature dependence…
