Kondo Screening of a Vacancy Magnetic Moment in Graphene — •Eva Y. Andrei — Dept. of Physics, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ

Graphene in its pristine form has transformed our understanding of 2D electron systems leading to fundamental discoveries and to the promise of important applications. When the perfect honeycomb lattice of graphene is disrupted by single atom vacancies new phenomena emerge including the buildup of local charge and the appearance of a local moment. Using scanning tunneling microscopy to identify Kondo screening of the vacancy moment by its spectroscopic signature, we demonstrate that the local magnetic moment can be controlled either by doping or through the local curvature. This allows to detect and map the quantum phase transition separating magnetic from non-magnetic states in this pseudogap system.
