    Abstract
    Magnetization have an important role in spintronic devices based on graphene. In this study the effect of stone-wales and vacancy defect on electrical and magnetic properties of zigzag and armchair graphene nanoribbons were investigated. Calculations are performed using tight-binding and hubard model combining with Green's function techniques. When the balance between A and B sub-lattices gets disturbed, magnetization will be appeared. In stone-wales defect we have local magnetization because of changing the position of sub-lattices and the total magnetization is zero. In addition the stone-wales defect can change and modify the band structures and band gaps. Vacancy of carbon atom in...
