Armchair and zigzag edge terminations in planar hexagonal and trigonal graphene nanorings are shown to underlie one-dimensional topological states associated with distinctive energy gaps and patterns (e.g., linear dispersion of the energy…
Topological aspects of graphene are reviewed focusing on the massless Dirac fermions with/without magnetic field. Doubled Dirac cones of graphene are topologically protected by the chiral symmetry. The quantum Hall effect of the graphene is…
We study the transport properties of the Dirac fermions with Fermi velocity $v_F$ on the surface of a topological insulator across a ferromagnetic strip providing an exchange field ${\mathcal J}$ over a region of width $d$. We show that the…
In the presence of axial magnetic fields that can be realized in deliberately buckled monolayer graphene, quasi-relativistic Dirac fermions may find themselves in a variety of broken symmetry phases even for weak interactions. Through a…
This study investigates the nanoscale conductivity of encapsulated monolayer graphene at temperatures down to 5 K and magnetic fields of up to 1 T. We use the scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) technique to…
We study tunneling across a strain-induced superlattice in graphene. In studying the effect of applied strain on the low-lying Dirac-like spectrum, both a shift of the Dirac points in reciprocal space, and a deformation of the Dirac cones…
We theoretically study magnetic field, temperature, and energy band-gap dependences of magnetizations in the Dirac fermions. We use the zeta function regularization to obtain analytical expressions of thermodynamic potential, from which the…
A general partial-wave multiple scattering theory for scattering from cylindrically symmetric potentials on a topological insulator (TI) surface is developed. As an application, the cross sections for a single scatterer and two scatterers…
Two-dimensional electrons in graphene are known to behave as massless fermions with Dirac-Weyl type linear dispersion near the Dirac crossing points. We have investigated the collective excitations of this system in the presence or absence…
We develop a Dirac fermion theory for topological phases in magnetic topological insulator films. The theory is based on exact solutions of the energies and the wave functions for an effective model of the three-dimensional topological…
We present a theory of electronic transport in graphene in the presence of randomly placed adsorbates. Our analysis predicts a marked asymmetry of the conductivity about the Dirac point, as well as a negative weak-localization…
We have discovered two-dimensional zero-gap material with a layered structure in the organic conductor $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ under high hydrostatic pressure. In contrast to graphene, the electron-hole symmetry is not good except at…
The Lorenz--Mie formulation of electromagnetic scattering by a homogeneous, isotropic, dielectric-magnetic sphere was extended to incorporate topologically insulating surface states characterized by a surface admittance $\gamma$.…
Massless Dirac fermions in graphene can acquire a mass through different kinds of sublattice-symmetry-breaking perturbations, and there is a growing need to determine this mass using a conventional method. We describe how the mass caused by…
We investigate a generalized two-dimensional Weyl Hamiltonian, which may describe the low-energy properties of mechanically deformed graphene and of the organic compound alpha-(BEDT-TTF)_2I_3 under pressure. The associated dispersion has…
We investigate surface plasmons at a planar interface between a normal dielectric and a topological insulator, where the Fermi-energy lies inside the bulk gap of the topological insulator and gives rise to a two-dimensional charge…
We study the interface physics of bipartite magnetic materials deposited on a topological insulator. This comprises antiferromagnets as well as ferrimagnets and ferromagnets with multiple magnetic moments per unit cell. If an energy gap is…
We construct a theory of charge transport by the surface states of topological insulators in three dimensions. The focus is on the experimentally relevant case when the electron doping is such that the Fermi energy $\epsilon_F$ and…
A transfer matrix approach is used to study the electronic transport in graphene superlattices with long-range correlated barrier spacements. By considering the low-energy electronic excitations as massless Dirac fermions, we compute by…
The surface states of a topological insulator are described by an emergent relativistic massless Dirac equation in 2+1 dimensions. In contrast to graphene, there is an odd number of Dirac points, and the electron spin is directly coupled to…
