▎ 摘  要

Vacancies in graphene lead to the appearance of localized electronic states with non-vanishing spin moments. Using a mean-field Hubbard model and an effective double-quantum dot description we investigate the influence of strain on localization and magnetic properties of the vacancy-induced states in semiconducting armchair nanoribbons. We find that the exchange splitting of a single vacancy and the singlet-triplet splitting for two vacancies can be widely tuned by applying uniaxial strain, which is crucial for spintronic applications.
