We study the effect of a magnetic field on Dirac fermions in graphene subject to a scalar potential oscillating in time. Using the Floquet theory and resonance approximation, we show that the energy spectrum exhibits extra subbands resulted…
Since graphene nanoribbons are thin and flimsy, they need support. Support gives firm ground for applications, and adhesion holds ribbons flat, although not necessarily straight: ribbons with high aspect ratio are prone to bend. The effects…
Graphene nanoribbons with sub-nanometer widths are extremely interesting for nanoscale electronics and devices as they combine the unusual transport properties of graphene with the opening of a band gap due to quantum confinement in the…
This work analyzes monolayer graphene in external electromagnetic fields, which is described by the Dirac equation with minimal coupling. Supersymmetric quantum mechanics allows building new Dirac equations with modified magnetic fields.…
Twisted bilayer graphene has recently attracted a lot of attention for its rich electronic properties and tunability. Here we show that for very small twist angles, $\alpha \ll 1^\circ$, the application of a perpendicular electric field is…
A possible realization of Hall conductivity, quantized at odd integer factors of $e^2/h$ for graphene's honeycomb lattice is proposed. I argue that, in the presence of \emph{uniform} real and pseudo-magnetic fields, the valley degeneracy…
The edge states in the integer quantum Hall effect are known to be significantly affected by electrostatic interactions leading to the formation of compressible and incompressible strips at the boundaries of Hall bars. We show here, in a…
We present extensive numerical results for the thermodynamic density of states (i.e. quantum capacitance) of a two-dimensional massless Dirac fermion fluid in a doped graphene sheet. In particular, by employing the random phase…
We present numerical studies of conduction in graphene nanoribbons with different types of disorder. We find that even when defect scattering depresses the conductance to values two orders of magnitude lower than 2e^2/h, equally spaced…
Graphene is a unique two-dimensional material with rich new physics and great promise for applications in electronic devices. Physical phenomena such as the half-integer quantum Hall effect and high carrier mobility are critically dependent…
Recent successes in manufacturing of atomically thin graphite samples (graphene) have stimulated intense experimental and theoretical activity. The key feature of graphene is the massless Dirac type of low-energy electron excitations. This…
In the presence of the Hubbard interaction, graphene zigzag nanoribbons have spontaneous edge magnetism with anti-parallel configuration, whose amplitude can be tuned by a transversal electric field. As the electric field increases or…
The behavior of electrons in strained graphene is usually described using effective pseudomagnetic fields in a Dirac equation. Here we consider the particular case of a spatially constant strain. Our results indicate that lattice…
We study the anomalous quantum Hall effect exhibited by the relativistic particles living on two-sphere S^2 and submitted to a magnetic monopole. We start by establishing a direct connection between the Dirac and Landau operators through…
We study the density of states in graphene at high magnetic field, when the physics is dominated by strong correlations between electrons. In particular we use the method of Haldane pseudopotentials to focus on almost empty or almost filled…
Ever since the discovery of graphene and subsequent explosion of interest in single atom thick materials, studying their mechanical properties has been an active area of research. New length scales often necessitate a rethinking of physical…
We address the problem of a Coulomb impurity in graphene in the presence of a perpendicular uniform magnetic field. We show that the problem can be solved below the supercritical impurity magnitude within the WKB approximation. Without…
Slowly varying nonuniform strains of non-magnetic wave propagating media with honeycomb symmetry induce an effective- or pseudo-magnetic field, a phenomenon observed first in graphene, and later in photonic crystals and other physical…
The electronic implications of strain in graphene can be captured at low energies by means of pseudovector potentials which can give rise to pseudomagnetic fields. These strain-induced vector potentials arise from the local perturbation to…
A rigorous theory for the generation of a large-scale magnetic field by random non-helically forced motions of a conducting fluid combined with a linear shear is presented in the analytically tractable limit of low Rm and weak shear. The…
