The stability of graphene nanoribbons in the presence of typical atmospheric molecules is systematically investigated by means of density functional theory. We calculate the edge formation free energy of five different edge configurations…

We consider Dirac particles confined to a thin strip, e.g., graphene nanoribbon, with rough edges. The confinement is implemented by a large mass in the Hamiltonian or by imposing boundary conditions directly on the graphene wave-functions.…

The flat band of edge states which occur in the simple tight-binding lattice model of graphene with a zig-zag edge have long been conjectured to take up a ferromagnetic configuration. In this work we demonstrate that, for a large class of…

A basic problem of classical field theory, which has attracted growing attention over the past decade, is to find and classify all nonlinear deformations of linear abelian gauge theories. The first part of this paper summarizes and…

We observe photocurrents induced in single layer graphene samples by illumination of the graphene edges with circularly polarized terahertz radiation at normal incidence. The photocurrent flows along the sample edges and forms a vortex. Its…

We investigate the relativistic quantum dynamics of amassless electron in graphene in a two-dimensional noncommutative (NC) plane under a constant background magnetic field. To address the issue of gauge invariance, we employ an effective…

We present a gauge and Lorentz invariant model for the scattering of matter off magnetic poles, which justifies the presence of velocity-dependent magnetic charges as an effective description of either the behaviour of monopoles in…

A central question in the field of graphene-related research is how graphene behaves when it is patterned at the nanometer scale with different edge geometries. Perhaps the most fundamental shape relevant to this question is the graphene…

We study the influence of different edge types on the electronic density of states of graphene nanostructures. To this end we develop an exact expansion for the single particle Green's function of ballistic graphene structures in terms of…

We report on a non-linear scattering effect that challenges the notion of topological protection for wave packets propagating in chiral edge modes. Specifically, in a Floquet topological system close to resonant driving and with a…

Electron scattering in the monolayer graphene with short-range impurities modelled by the annular well with a band-asymmetric potential has been considered. Band-asymmetry of the potential resulted in the mass (gap) perturbation in the…

We develop a diagrammatic perturbation theory to account for the emergence of moir\'e bands in the continuum model of twisted bilayer graphene. Our framework is build upon treating the moir\'e potential as a perturbation that transfers…

The wavefunction of a massless fermion consists of two chiralities, left-handed and right-handed, which are eigenstates of the chiral operator. The theory of weak interactions of elementally particle physics is not symmetric about the two…

We investigate the effect of edges on the intrinsic electron-electron interaction driven d-wave superconducting state in graphene doped close to the van Hove singularity. While the bulk is in a chiral $d_{x^2-y^2}+id_{xy}$ state, the order…

The paper addresses boundary electronic properties of graphene with a complex edge structure of the armchair/zigzag/armchair type. It is shown that the finite zigzag region supports edge bound states with discrete equidistant spectrum…

The electronic properties of graphene may be changed from semimetallic to semiconducting by introducing perforations (antidots) in a periodic pattern. The properties of such graphene antidot lattices (GALs) have previously been studied…

Dirac electrons in finite graphene samples with zigzag edges under high magnetic fields (in the regime of Landau-level formation) are investigated with regard to their bulk-type and edge-type character. We employ tight-binding calculations…

This paper begins with a summary of a powerful formalism for the study of electronic states in condensed matter physics called "Gauge Theory of States/Phases of Matter." The chiral anomaly, which plays quite a prominent role in that…

We report a molecular dynamics study on the tensile mechanics of graphene as gradually rotating the tensile direction from armchair to zigzag direction, covering the complete range of chiral directions which has never been explored so far.…

Graphene properties can be manipulated by a periodic potential. Based on the tight-binding model, we study graphene under a one-dimensional (1D) modulated magnetic field which contains both a uniform and a staggered component. New chiral…
