Abstract
We study the changes in the electronic structure induced by lattice defects in graphene planes. In many cases, lattice distortions give rise to localized states at the Fermi level. Electron-electron interactions lead to the existence of local moments. The RKKY interaction between these moments is always ferromagnetic, due to the semimetallic properties of graphene.

Induced magnetic moment in graphene with a nonmagnetic impurity

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional crystalline monolayer of carbon atoms with a single non-magnetic impurity was considered and the wave function and energy of impurity states, as well as the induced magnetic moment associated with polarization of the electron system were calculated.

Band Structure of Graphite

TL;DR: In this paper, a perturbation calculation which starts with wave functions of the two-dimensional lattice and is applied to the three-dimensional graphite lattice is described and general features of the structure of the $\ensuremath{\pi}$ bands in the neighborhood of the zone edge are obtained and are expressed in terms of appropriate parameters.

Induced magnetic ordering by proton irradiation in graphite.

TL;DR: Evidence that proton irradiation of energy 2.25 MeV on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite samples triggers ferro- or ferrimagnetism is provided and magnetic ordering is stable at room temperature.

Magnetic nanographite

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that hydrogenation of nanographite is able to induce finite magnetization and demonstrated the spontaneous magnetism of a graphene ribbon in which each carbon is bonded to two hydrogen atoms at one edge and to a single hydrogen atom at another edge.
