22 The impurity moment can be switched on and off! U = 1 eV n_down V=1eV, e 0 =0.2 eV n_up

23 U = 40 meV U = 0.1 eV

24 Conclusions Impurities in graphene behave in an unusual way when compared to normal metals and semiconductors. One can test theories of nuclear matter under extreme conditions. Control of the magnetic moment formation of transition metals using electric fields.
