Abstract

This work investigates the indirect exchange interaction between magnetic impurities mediated by irradiated electrons in driven graphene. The authors develop a nonequilibrium theory that elucidates the effects of irradiation on the exchange coupling and demonstrate its tunability via the driving field.
