Resonant scattering at the atomic absorbates in graphene was investigated recently in relation with the transport and gap opening problems. Attaching an impurity atom to graphene is believed to lead to the creation of unusual zero energy localized electron states. This paper aims to describe the behavior of the localized impurity-induced levels in graphene in a quantizing magnetic field. It is shown that in the magnetic field the impurity level effectively hybridizes with one of the n=0 Landau level states and splits into two opposite-energy states. The new hybridized state is doubly occupied, forming a spin-singlet and reducing the polarization of a Quantum Hall ferromagnet in undoped graphene. Taking into account the electron-electron interaction changes radically the spectrum of the electrons surrounding the impurity, which should be seen experimentally. While existing publications investigate graphene uniformly covered by adatoms, here we address a possibly even more experimentally relevant case of the clusterized impurity distribution. The limit of a dense bunch of the impurity atoms is considered, and it is shown, how such a bunch changes the spectrum and spin polarization of a large dense electron droplet surrounding it. The droplet is encircled by an edge state carrying a persistent current.

Using density-functional calculations, we study the effect of sp$^3$-type defects created by different covalent functionalizations on the electronic and magnetic properties of graphene. We find that the induced magnetic properties are {it universal},
in the sense that they are largely independent on the particular adsorbates considered. When a weakly-polar single covalent bond is established with the layer, a local spin-moment of 1.0 $mu_B$ always appears in graphene. This effect is similar to that of H adsorption, which saturates one $p_z$ orbital in the carbon layer. The magnetic couplings between the adsorbates show a strong dependence on the graphene sublattice of chemisorption. Molecules adsorbed at the same sublattice couple ferromagnetically, with an exchange interaction that decays very slowly with distance, while no magnetism is found for adsorbates at opposite sublattices. Similar magnetic properties are obtained if several $p_z$ orbitals are saturated simultaneously by the adsorption of a large molecule. These results might open new routes to engineer the magnetic properties of graphene derivatives by chemical means.
Resonant scatterers such as hydrogen adatoms can strongly enhance the low energy density of states in graphene. Here, we study the impact of these impurities on the electronic screening. We find a two-faced behavior: Kubo formula calculations reveal
an increased dielectric function $varepsilon$ upon creation of midgap states but no metallic divergence of the static $varepsilon$ at small momentum transfer $qto 0$. This bad metal behavior manifests also in the dynamic polarization function and can be directly measured by means of electron energy loss spectroscopy. A new length scale $l_c$ beyond which screening is suppressed emerges, which we identify with the Anderson localization length.
The effective spin exchange coupling between impurities (adatoms) on graphene mediated by conduction electrons is studied as a function of the strength of the potential part of the on-site energy $U$ of the electron-adatom interaction. With increasin
g $U$, the exchange coupling becomes long-range, determined largely by the impurity levels with energies close to the Dirac points. When adatoms reside on opposite sublattices, their exchange coupling, normally antiferromagnetic, becomes ferromagnetic and resonantly enhanced at a specific distance where an impurity level crosses the Dirac point.
The electron tunneling is experimentally studied between two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) formed in a single-doped-barrier heterostructure in the magnetic fields directed perpendicular to the 2DEGs planes. It is well known that the quantizing m
agnetic field induces the Coulomb pseudogap suppressing the electron tunneling at Fermi level. In this paper we firstly present the experimental results revealing the pseudogap in the electron tunneling assisted by elastic electron scattering on disorder.
We propose to use phonon absorption spectroscopy to study many-body gaps and phases of two-subband heterostructures in the quantum Hall regime. Implications of the spin-orbit interaction for phonon absorption in this system are considered.
