Inducing Kondo screening of vacancy magnetic moments in graphene with gating and local curvature

Observing and tuning the Kondo effect in graphene is experimentally challenging. Here, the authors identify the spectroscopic signature of Kondo screening in graphene, along with a quantum phase transition between screened and unscreened phases of vacancy magnetic moments.
