Abstract (EN): We examine the magnetic properties of the localized states induced by lattice vacancies in bilayer graphene with an unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculation. We show that, with realistic values of the parameters and for experimentally accessible gate voltages, we can have magnetic switching between an unpolarized and a fully polarized system.
