Abstract

This review describes a study of nonmagnetic-defect-induced magnetism of graphene on the basis of a tight-binding model. A vacancy induces around itself a quasilocalized impurity state at the chemical potential and leads to formation of local magnetic moments. The connection between a quasilocalized state around a vacancy and the edge localized states near a zigzag edge is studied in detail. Magnetism associated with many vacancies and edge structures is also reviewed. Some new results of magnetism associated with many vacancies are presented.
