Relativistic quantum mechanics predicts that when the charge of a superheavy atomic nucleus surpasses a certain threshold, the resulting strong Coulomb field causes an unusual atomic collapse state; this state exhibits an electron wave…
Void-defect is a possible origin of ferromagnetic feature on pure carbon materials. In our previous paper, void-defect on graphene-nanoribbon show highly polarized spin configuration. In this paper, we studied cases for graphene molecules…
Electrons in graphene, behaving as massless relativistic Dirac particles, provide a new perspective on the relation between condensed matter and high-energy physics. We discuss atomic collapse, a novel state of superheavy atoms stripped of…
Vacancies in graphene present sites of altered chemical reactivity and open possibilities to tune graphene properties by defect engineering. The understanding of chemical reactivity of such defects is essential for successful implementation…
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…
Two-dimensional carbon, or graphene, is a semi-metal that presents unusual low-energy electronic excitations described in terms of Dirac fermions. We analyze in a self-consistent way the effects of localized (impurities or vacancies) and…
We examine the conditions necessary for the presence of localized magnetic moments on adatoms with inner shell electrons in graphene. We show that the low density of states at the Dirac point, and the anomalous broadening of the adatom…
We study electronic properties of graphene with finite concentration of vacancies or other resonant scatterers by a straightforward lattice Quantum Monte Carlo calculations. Taking into account realistic long-range Coulomb interaction we…
Position measurements at the quantum level are vital for many applications, but also challenging. Typically, methods based on optical phase shifts are used, but these methods are often weak and difficult to apply to many materials. An…
Dirac electrons in clean graphene can mediate the interactions between two localized magnetic moments. The functional form of the RKKY interaction in pristine graphene is specified by two main features: (i) an atomic scale oscillatory part…
We present an ab initio study on the structural and electronic distortions of modified graphene by creation of vacancies, inclusion of boron atoms, and the coexistence of both, by means of thermodynamics and band structure calculations. In…
Well-known effect of mechanical stiffness degradation under the influence of point defects in macroscopic solids can be controversially reversed in the case of low-dimensional materials. Using atomistic simulation, we showed here that a…
Vacancy-induced magnetism in graphene bilayers is investigated using spin-polarized density functional theory calculations. One of two graphene layers has a monovacancy. Two atomic configurations for bilayers are considered with respect to…
We give an update of the situation concerning the effect of electron-electron interactions on the physics of a neutral graphene system at low energies. We revise old renormalization group results and the use of 1/N expansion to address…
Vacancies in graphene lead to the appearance of localized electronic states with non-vanishing spin moments. Using a mean-field Hubbard model and an effective double-quantum dot description we investigate the influence of strain on…
The graphene and phosphorene nanostructures have a big potential application in a large area of actuals research in physics. However, their methods of synthesis still do not allow the production of perfect materials with an intact molecular…
Here we report a facile method to generate a high density of point defects in graphene on metal foil and show how the point defects affect the electronic structures of graphene layers. Our scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements,…
The coherent electron transport along zigzag and metallic armchair graphene nanoribbons in the presence of one or two vacancies is investigated. Having in mind atomic scale tunability of the conductance fingerprints, the primary focus is on…
While defects are generally considered to be unavoidable in experiments, engineering them is also a way of manipulating the physical properties of materials. In this study, the role of periodically arranged single vacancy defects in…
Graphene, being one-atom thick, is extremely sensitive to the presence of adsorbed atoms and molecules and, more generally, to defects such as vacancies, holes and/or substitutional dopants. This property, apart from being directly usable…
