In this article, the changes in the electronic structure induced by lattice defects in graphene planes were studied and it was shown that lattice distortions give rise to localized states at the Fermi level.
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.

Overhauser shift and dynamic nuclear polarization on carbon fibers

TL;DR: In this article, the first experimental magnetic resonance determination of the coupling between electrons and nuclear spins (1H, 13C) in carbon fibers was reported, which strongly supported the assumption that the electronic spins are delocalized on graphene like structures in the fiber.

Electronic Properties of Two-Dimensional Carbon

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theoretical description of the electronic properties of graphene in the presence of disorder, electron-electron interactions, and particle-hole symmetry breaking, and show that while particlehole asymmetry and long-range Coulomb interactions lead to the phenomenon of self-doping, local defects determine the transport and spectroscopic properties.

Absolute negative conductivity of graphene in the Hubbard model

TL;DR: In this paper, current-voltage and Ampere-Gauss characteristics are obtained for graphene, at low temperature, using a tight-binding model and taking into account Hubbard interaction.

Nonlinear signal mixing in a three-terminal molecular wire

TL;DR: The authors study the electronic response of two simple molecular devices to a bichromatic field, where the device acts as a mixer, and a significant amount of nonlinear mixing resulting in new combinations of the input frequencies is found in the spectrum.

Electric Field Effect in Atomically Thin Carbon Films

TL;DR: Monocrystalline graphitic films are found to be a two-dimensional semimetal with a tiny overlap between valence and conductance bands and they exhibit a strong ambipolar electric field effect.

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.

Non-Fermi liquid behavior of electrons in the half-filled honeycomb lattice (A renormalization group approach)

TL;DR: In this paper, a system of electrons in the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice with Coulomb interactions is described by a renormalizable quantum field theory similar but not equal to QED3.

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.
