In this paper we expand our previous investigation of a quantum particle subject to the action of a random potential plus a fixed harmonic potential at a finite temperature T. In the classical limit the system reduces to a well-known…

Graphene and its multilayers have attracted considerable interest owing to the fourfold spin and valley degeneracy of their charge carriers, which enables the formation of a rich variety of broken-symmetry states and raises the prospect of…

We consider a model of Dirac fermions coupled to flexural phonons to describe a graphene sheet fluctuating in dimension $2+d$. We derive the self-consistent screening equations for the quantum problem, exact in the limit of large $d$. We…

We show that the interaction between flexural phonons, when corrected by the exchange of electron-hole excitations, may place the graphene sheet very close to a quantum critical point characterized by the strong suppression of the bending…

We study the transition between quantum and classical behavior of particles in a gravitational quantum well. We analyze how an increase in the particles mass turns the energy spectrum into a continuous one, from an experimental point of…

Suspended graphene exhibits ripples of size ranging from 50 to 100 {\AA} and height $\sim$10{\AA}, however, their origin remains undetermined. Previous theoretical works have proposed that rippling in graphene might be generated by the…

Graphane is obtained by perfectly hydrogenating graphene. There exists an intermediate material, partially hydrogenated graphene (which we call \textit{hydrographene}), interpolating from pure graphene to pure graphane. It has various…

The atomic structure of nanomaterials is often studied using transmission electron microscopy. In addition to image formation, the energetic electrons may also cause damage while impinging on the sample. In a good conductor such as graphene…

Low-energy transport measurements in Quantum Hall systems have been argued to be governed by emergent modular symmetries whose predictions are robust against many of the detailed microscopic dynamics. We propose the recently-observed…

We report a quantum study of the carrier scattering induced by graphene ripples. Crucial differences between the scattering induced by the ripple and ordinary scattering were found. In contrast to the latter, in which the Born approximation…

Diffusion of a graphene flake on a graphene layer is analyzed and a new diffusion mechanism is proposed for the system under consideration. According to this mechanism, rotational transition of the flake from commensurate to incommensurate…

In ultracold gases many experiments use atom imaging as a basic observable. The resulting image is averaged over a number of realizations and mostly only this average is used. Only recently the noise has been measured to extract physical…

Quantum oscillations of metallic systems at low temperatures is one of the key rules to experimentally access their electronic properties, such as energy spectrum, scattering mechanisms, geometry of Fermi surface and many other features.…
