We study the effect of impurities in superconducting graphene and discuss their influence on the local electronic properties. In particular, we consider the case of magnetic and non-magnetic impurities being either strongly localized or…
There is an increasing amount of literature concerning electronic properties of graphene close to the neutrality point. Many experiments continue using the two-probe geometry or invasive contacts or do not control samples' macroscopic…
Pristine monolayer graphene exhibits very poor screening because the density of states vanishes at the Dirac point. As a result, charge relaxation is controlled by the effects of zero-point motion (rather than by the Coulomb interaction)…
We investigate the thermal conductivity of suspended graphene as a function of the density of defects, ND, introduced in a controllable way. Graphene layers are synthesized using chemical vapor deposition, transferred onto a transmission…
We consider the effects of impurities on topological insulators and superconductors. We start by identifying the general conditions under which the eigenenergies of an arbitrary Hamiltonian H belonging to one of the Altland-Zirnbauer…
In the context of Einstein gravity, if the null energy condition (NEC) is satisfied, the energy density in expanding space-times always decreases while in contracting space-times the energy density grows and the universe eventually…
We address the problem of an unscreened Coulomb charge in graphene, and calculate the local density of states and displaced charge as a function of energy and distance from the impurity. This is done non-perturbatively in two different…
Theoretical calculations, based on hybrid exchange density functional theory, are used to show that in graphene a periodic array of defects generates a ferromagnetic ground state at room temperature for unexpectedly large defect…
The magnetic field $B$ dependence of the critical current $I_c$ for the vortex phase of a disordered superconductor is studied numerically at zero temperature. The $I_{c}(B)$ increases rapidly near the upper critical field $B_{c2}$ similar…
We demonstrate that the phenomenon known as Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion is really an amplification, in a nonlinear crystal pumped by a laser, of certain pairs of modes of the electromagnetic zeropoint field. The demonstration is…
Thermoelectric effects in graphene are considered theoretically with particular attention paid to the role of impurities. Using the T -matrix method we calculate the impurity resonant states and the momentum relaxation time due to…
Intrinsic bilayer graphene is a gapless semimetal. Under the application of a bias field it becomes a semiconductor with a direct band gap that is proportional to the applied field. Under a layer-asymmetric strain (where the upper layer…
This work analyses how impurities and vacancies on the surface of a graphene sample affect its optical conductivity and plasmon excitations. The disorder is analysed in the self-consistent Green's function formulation and nonlocal effects…
A criterion to determine the existence of zero-energy edge states is discussed for a class of particle-hole symmetric Hamiltonians. A ``loop'' in a parameter space is assigned for each one-dimensional bulk Hamiltonian, and its topological…
The low energy spectrum of a zigzag graphene ribbon contains two gapless bands with highly non-linear dispersion, $\epsilon(k)=\pm |\pi-k|^W$, where $W$ is the width of the ribbon. The corresponding states are located at the two opposite…
Transport measurements have revealed several exotic electronic properties of graphene. The possibility to influence the electronic structure and hence control the conductivity by adsorption or doping with adatoms is crucial in view of…
The fate of the charge-neutral Dirac point in graphene in a high magnetic field $H$ has been investigated at low temperatures ($T\sim$ 0.3 K). In samples with small $V_0$ (the gate voltage needed to access the Dirac point), the resistance…
It is well known that amorphous solids display a phonon spectrum where the Debye $\sim \omega^2$ law at low frequency melds into an anomalous excess-mode peak (the boson peak) before entering a quasi-localized regime at higher frequencies…
The absence of localization of impurity-induced low-energy quasiparticle states in a two-dimensional $d$-wave superconductor is argued for any amount of disorder in the limit of unitary scatterers. This surprising result follows from the…
The effect of a randomly fluctuating gap, created by a random staggered potential, is studied in a monolayer and a bilayer of graphene. The density of states, the one-particle scattering rate and transport properties (diffusion coefficient…
