The structural similarity between hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and graphene nanoribbons allows for the formation of heterojunctions with small chain stress. The combination of the insulation nature of the former and the quasi-metallic…
The edge states that emerge at hydrogen-terminated zigzag edges embedded in dominant armchair edges of graphite are carefully investigated by ultrahigh-vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements. The edge states at the zigzag…
With a generic lattice model for electrons occupying a semi-infinite crystal with a hard surface, we study the eigenstates of the system with a bulk band gap (or the gap with nodal points). The exact solution to the wave functions of…
The study of topological states in electronic structures, which allows robust transport properties against impurities and defects, has been recently extended to the realm of elasticity. This work shows that nontrivial topological flexural…
Pairing interaction between fermionic particles leads to composite Bosons that condense at low temperature. Such condensate gives rise to long range order and phase coherence in superconductivity, superfluidity, and other exotic states of…
We propose a class of networks which can be regarded as an extension of the graphitic network. These networks are constructed so that surface states with non-bonding character (edge states) are formed in a tight-binding model with one…
The density of states, $\varrho(E)$, of graphene is investigated within the tight binding (H\"uckel) approximation in the presence of vacancies. They induce a non-vanishing density of zero modes, $n_\text{zm}$, that act as midgap states:…

We address the two-dimensional band-structure of graphene above the vacuum level in the context of discrete states immersed in the three-dimensional continuum. Scattering resonances are discovered that originate from the coupling of the…
Monolayer graphene placed with a twist on top of AB-stacked bilayer graphene hosts topological flat bands in a wide range of twist angles. The dispersion of these bands and gaps between them can be efficiently controlled by a perpendicular…
Localized interface states in abrupt semiconductor heterojunctions are studied within a tight-binding model. The intention is to provide a microscopic foundation for the results of similar studies which were based upon the two-band model…
Bilayer graphene is normally a semimetal with parabolic dispersion, but a tunable bandgap up to few hundreds meV can be opened by breaking the symmetry between the layers through an external potential. Ab-initio calculations show that the…
We have studied zigzag and armchair graphene nano ribbons (GNRs), described by the Hubbard Hamiltonian using quantum many body configuration interaction methods. Due to finite termination, we find that the bipartite nature of the graphene…

We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally a topological transition of classical light in "photonic graphene": an array of waveguides arranged in the honeycomb geometry. As the system is uniaxially strained (compressed), the two unique…
