Abstract

Graphene is extremely sensitive to its environment: such sensitivity can be exploited for sensing applications as well as for adatom-based engineering of material properties. Decorating graphene’s surface with adatoms can be used to derive new graphene based versatile materials, induce magnetic moments, and enhance spin–orbit coupling. This review article discusses experiments highlighting different adatom-induced phenomena in graphene. Though the focus is mainly on the experimental results, reference to theoretical predictions is made throughout the article.
