▎ 摘  要

We study the spin relaxation in graphene due to magnetic moments induced by defects. We propose and employ in our studies a microscopic model that describes magnetic impurity scattering processes mediated by charge puddles. This model incorporates the spin texture related to the defect-induced state. We calibrate our model parameters using experimentally-inferred values. The results we obtain for the spin relaxation times are in very good agreement with experimental findings. Our study leads to a comprehensive explanation for the short spin relaxation times reported in the experimental literature. We also propose a new interpretation for the puzzling experimental Observation of enhanced spin relaxation times in hydrogenated graphene samples in terms of a combined effect due to disorder configurations that lead to an increased coupling to the magnetic moments and the tunability of the defect-induced pi-like magnetism in graphene.
