First-principles density functional theory (DFT) study of embedding V and Nb atom in monovacant and divacant graphene is reported. Complete/almost complete spin polarization is verified for V/Nb embedding in MV/DV graphene. The origin of…

Fourier transform scanning tunneling spectroscopy (FT-STS) measures the scattering of conduction electrons from impurities and defects, giving information about the electronic structure of both the host material and adsorbed impurities. We…

Interaction between adsorbed atoms in graphene is studied using a combination of DFT and the path integral formalism. Our results reveal a complex non-monotonic interaction profile. We show that the strength and sign of the interaction are…

Metal atoms on graphene, when ionized, can act as a point charge impurity to probe a charge response of graphene with the Dirac cone band structure. To understand the microscopic physics of the metal-atom-induced charge and spin…

In the theory of dilute magnetic impurities in superconductors, the effect of all impurity spin-components is expressed via a single magnetic scattering rate $\Gamma_\mathrm{m}$. In a more realistic setting, magnetic impurities are…

The variable range hopping theory, as formulated for exponentially localized impurity states, does not necessarily apply in the case of graphene with covalently attached impurities. We analyze the localization of impurity states in graphene…

Impurity effect is systematically studied in doped Haldane material Pb(Ni$_{1-x}$$M_x$)$_2$V$_2$O$_8$ ($M$ = Mn, Co, Cu, and Mg) by use of DC and AC susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements. The occurrence of three-dimensional ordered…

We consider magnetic impurities in a two dimensional superfluid Fermi gas in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. By using the methods of t-matrix and Green's function, we find spin-orbit coupling has some dramatic impacts on the effects of…

We address the problem of an unscreened Coulomb charge in graphene, and calculate the local density of states and displaced charge as a function of energy and distance from the impurity. This is done non-perturbatively in two different…

We probe the local inhomogeneities of the electronic properties of graphene at the nanoscale using scanning probe microscopy techniques. First, we focus on the study of the electronic inhomogeneities caused by the graphene-substrate…

We study the influence of impurities in graphene described by a scattering rate $\Gamma$ on the Casimir interaction between graphene and an ideal conductor or between two identical sheets of graphene at zero temperature and chemical…

We obtain a novel bound state spectrum of the low energy excitations near the Fermi points of graphene in the presence of a charge impurity. The effects of possible short range interactions induced by the impurity are modelled by suitable…

We calculate the modification of the local electronic structure caused by a local impurity on the surface of a 3D Topological Insulator. We find that the LDOS around the Dirac point of the electronic spectrum at the surface is significantly…

We consider a graphene sheet in the presence of a strong perpendicular magnetic field with a single short-range delta-impurity situated at one of the carbon sites. We study the neutral inter-Landau level collective excitations,…

Theoretical calculations, based on hybrid exchange density functional theory, are used to show that in graphene a periodic array of defects generates a ferromagnetic ground state at room temperature for unexpectedly large defect…

Defect-induced magnetic moments are at the center of the research effort on spintronic applications of graphene. Here we study the problem of a nonmagnetic impurity in graphene with a new theoretical method, inhomogeneous cluster dynamical…

We use the T-matrix approximation to analyze the effect of a localized impurity on the local density of states in mono- and bilayer graphene. For monolayer graphene the Friedel oscillations generated by intranodal scattering obey an…

The electronic structure of diluted magnetic semiconductors is studied, especially focusing on the hole character. The Haldane-Anderson model is extend to a magnetic impurity, and is analyzed in the Hartree-Fock approximation. Due to the…

A theoretical study of the electronic properties of nanodisks and nanocones is presented within the framework of a tight-binding scheme. The electronic densities of states and absorption coefficients are calculated for such structures with…

We have followed a "molecular" approach to study impurity effects in graphene. This is thought as the limiting case of an infinitely large cluster of benzene rings. Therefore, we study several carbon clusters, with increasing size, from…
