Controlling magnetic transition of monovacancy graphene by shear distortion

Abstract The effect of shear distortion on the vacancy induced magnetism in graphene is investigated using extensive first-principles calculations. It is found that shear distortion can lead to magnetic transition between two states with high and low magnetic moments. Such a transition is reversible...
