Regulating spin dynamics of graphene flakes

A method of regulating spin dynamics of the so-called magnetic graphene is analyzed. Magnetic moments can be incorporated into graphene flakes and graphene ribbons through defects, such as adatoms and vacancies. Local spins can also be attached to graphene at hydrogenated zigzag edges. Spin flips can be produced by transverse pulses and by connecting the sample to a resonance electric coil. The action of the resonator feedback field strongly accelerates spin reversal. The possibility of fast spin reversal is important for spintronics and for quantum information processing allowing for an efficient functioning of spin registers.
