Thermal decomposition of vicinal 6H-SiC(0001) surfaces with off-angles toward the $[1\bar{1}00]$ direction results in the appearance of pairs of (0001) macroterraces and $(1\bar{1}0n)$ macrofacets covered with graphene, as follows. A…
Potentially new, single-atom thick semiconducting 2D-graphene-like material, called Anisotropic-cyclicgraphene, have been generated by the two stage searching strategy linking molecular and ab initio approach. The candidate derived from the…
We have developed the combination of an etching and deposition technique that enables the fabrication of locally gated graphene nanostructures of arbitrary design. Employing this method, we have fabricated graphene nanoconstrictions with…
We investigate high-harmonic generation in graphene heterostructures consisting of metallic nanoribbons separated from a graphene sheet by either a few-nanometer layer of aluminum oxide or an atomic monolayer of hexagonal boron nitride. The…
A recent experimental study showed that an induced folded flap of graphene can spontaneously drive itself its tearing and peeling off a substrate, thus producing long, micrometer sized, regular trapezoidal-shaped folded graphene…
Carbon nanostructures, such as nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons, exhibit unique electronic and optical properties that make them very promising candidates for terahertz components. However, carbon nanotube and nanoribbon monolithic…
Graphene nanoribbon folds with single and double closed edges are studied using density functional theory methods. Van der Waals dispersive interactions are included via semi-empirical pairwise optimized potential. The geometrical phases of…
Anisotropic electronic transport is a possible route towards nanoscale circuitry design, particularly in two-dimensional materials. Proposals to introduce such a feature in patterned graphene have to date relied on large-scale structural…
Armchair graphene nanoribbons are a highly promising class of semiconductors for all-carbon nanocircuitry. Here, we present a new perspective on their electronic structure from simple model Hamiltonians and $\textit{ab initio}$…
We investigate the electronic transport properties of a folded graphene nanoribbon with monolayer nanoribbon contacts. We consider two possible foldings: either the nanoribbon can be folded onto itself in the shape of a hairpin with the…
We report scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy investigation of graphene nanoribbons grown on an array of bunched steps of a 6H-SiC(0001) substrate. Our scanning tunneling microscopy images of a graphene nanoribbons on a step…
Thin adhesive films can be removed from substrates, torn, and folded in distinct geometries under external driving forces. In two-dimensional materials, however, these processes can be self-driven as shown in previous studies on folded…
Heterostructures composed of dissimilar two-dimensional nanomaterials can have nontrivial physical and mechanical properties promising for many applications. Interestingly, in some cases, it is possible to create heterostructures composed…
An atomic force microscope is used to structure a film of multilayer graphene. The resistance of the sample was measured in-situ during nanomachining narrow trenches. We found a reversible behavior in the electrical resistance which we…
Allotropes of carbon, including one-dimensional carbon nanotubes and two-dimensional graphene sheets, continue to draw attention as promising platforms for probing the physics of electrons in lower dimensions. Recent research has shown that…
The rapid development of fabrication of functional high-quality graphene-like nanoribbons has increasingly reliant on integration of diverse nanofabrication platforms. The demand for innovative techniques to enable the exploration and…
Most graphene nanoribbons in the experimental literature are patterned using plasma etching. Various etching processes induce different types of defects and do not necessarily result in the same electronic and structural ribbon properties.…
Nanosize pores can turn semimetallic graphene into a semiconductor and from being impermeable into the most efficient molecular sieve membrane. However, scaling the pores down to the nanometer, while fulfilling the tight structural…
We predict enhanced electron-hole superfluidity in two coupled electron-hole armchair-edge terminated graphene nanoribbons separated by a thin insulating barrier. In contrast to graphene monolayers, the multiple subbands of the nanoribbons…
Carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs) are nanomaterials with geometry resembling graphene layers rolled up into a spiral (papyrus-like) form. Effects of hydrogenation and temperature on the self-scrolling process of two nanoribbons interacting with a…
