When high quality bismuth or graphite crystals are placed in a magnetic field directed along the c-axis (trigonal axis for bismuth) and the temperature is lowered, the resistance increases as it does in an insulator but then saturates. We…

Half a century ago, Mott noted that tuning the carrier density of a semimetal towards zero produces an insulating state in which electrons and holes form bound pairs. It was later argued that such pairing persists even if a semiconducting…

We theoretically argue that, in doped AB bilayer graphene, the electron-electron coupling can give rise to the spontaneous formation of fractional metal phases. These states, being generalizations of a more common half-metal, have a Fermi…

Chemically doped graphene could support plasmon excitations up to telecommunication or even visible frequencies. Apart from that, the presence of dopant may influence electron scattering mechanisms in graphene and thus impact the plasmon…

For two decades, two-dimensional carbon species, including graphene, have been the core of research in pursuing next-generation logic applications beyond the silicon technology. Yet the opening of a gap in a controllable range of doping,…

Among many remarkable qualities of graphene, its electronic properties attract particular interest due to a massless chiral character of charge carriers, which leads to such unusual phenomena as metallic conductivity in the limit of no…
