▎ 摘　　要

Graphene is extremely sensitive to its environment: such sensitivity can be exploited for sensing applications as well as for adatom-based engineering of material properties. Decorating graphene's surface with adatoms can be used to derive new graphene based versatile materials, induce magnetic moments, and enhance spin-orbit coupling. This review article discusses experiments highlighting different adatom-induced phenomena in graphene. Though the focus is mainly on the experimental results, reference to theoretical predictions is made throughout the article. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
