Resonant scattering off adatoms in monolayer graphene — •Susanne Irmer, Denis Kochan, and Jaroslav Fabian — University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany

We present a theoretical investigation of resonant scattering off adatoms on graphene. Resonant scattering is an important feature of adatoms as it leads to resonant enhancement of the impact of proximity effects such as local magnetic moments or spin-orbit coupling [1,2,3]. We investigate the three different adsorption positions of hollow, top, and bridge employing effective realistic tight-binding models and the T-matrix formalism. The developed resonance conditions are useful for quantum transport models as well as studies of spin relaxation in graphene with adatoms.
