When an electron is confined to a triangular atomic thick layer of graphene [1-5] with zig-zag edges, its energy spectrum collapses to a shell of degenerate states at the Fermi level (Dirac point) [6-9]. The degeneracy is proportional to…

The localization of electrons caused by atomic disorder is a well-known phenomenon. However, what circumstances allow electrons to remain delocalized and retain band-like characteristics even when the crystal structure is completely absent,…

Two-dimensional Dirac fermions are used to discuss quasiparticles in graphene in the presence of impurity scattering. Transport properties are completely dominated by diffusion. This may explain why recent experiments did not find weak…
