Polarization resolved micro-Raman spectroscopy was carried out at the edges of bilayer graphene. We find strong dependence of the intensity of the G band on the incident laser polarization, with its intensity dependence being 90 degrees out…
It is known that zigzag graphene edge is able to support edge states: there is a non-dispersive single-electron band localized near the zigzag edge. However, it is generally believed that no edge states exist near the armchair edge. In this…
Edge structure plays an essential role in the nature of electronic states in graphene nanoribbons. By focusing on the interplay between this feature and non-trivial topology in the domain of the Dirac confinement problem, this paper…
The thermal stability of graphene/graphane nanoribbons (GGNRs) is investigated using density functional theory. It is found that the energy barriers for the diffusion of hydrogen atoms on the zigzag and armchair interfaces of GGNRs are 2.86…
Magnetic zigzag edges of graphene are considered as a basis for novel spintronics devices despite the fact that no true long-range magnetic order is possible in one dimension. We study the transverse and longitudinal fluctuations of…
The electron-phonon matrix elements relevant to the Raman intensity and Kohn anomaly of the G band are calculated by taking into account the effect of the edge of graphene. The analysis of the pseudospin reveals that the longitudinal…
The edges of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have attracted much interest due to their potentially strong influence on GNR electronic and magnetic properties. Here we report the ability to engineer the microscopic edge termination of high…
We demonstrate that graphene coating can provide an efficient protection from oxidation by posing a high energy barrier to the path of oxygen atom, which could have penetrated from the top of graphene to the reactive surface underneath.…
We derive the local density of states from itinerant and boundary states around transport barriers and edges in graphene and show that the itinerant states lead to mesoscale undulations that could be used to probe their scattering…
We study edges states of graphene ribbons in the quantized Hall regime, and show that they can be described within a continuum model (the Dirac equation) when appropriate boundary conditions are adopted. The two simplest terminations,…
By combining analytic and numerical methods, edge states on a finite width graphene ribbon in a magnetic field are studied in the framework of low-energy effective theory that takes into account the possibility of quantum Hall…
We report the existence of zero energy surface states localized at zigzag edges of $N$-layer graphene. Working within the tight-binding approximation, and using the simplest nearest-neighbor model, we derive the analytic solution for the…
Using in situ low-energy electron microscopy and density functional theory, we studied the growth structure and work function of bilayer graphene on Pd(111). Low-energy electron diffraction analysis established that the two graphene layers…
We have theoretically investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of graphene whose zigzag edges are oxidized. The alteration of these properties by adsorption of $\mathrm{H_{2}O}$ and $\mathrm{NH_3}$ molecules have been considered.…
We present a theoretical study on narrow armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) with hydroxyl functionalized edges. Although this kind of passivation strongly affects the structure of the ribbon, a high degree of edge functionalization…
Edge engineering is important for both fundamental research and applications as the device size decreases to nanometer scale. This is especially the case for graphene because a graphene edge shows totally different electronic properties…
The effect of strain in graphene is usually modeled by a pseudo-magnetic vector potential which is, however, derived in the limit of small strain. In realistic cases deviations are expected in view of graphene's very high strain tolerance,…
We determine the stability, the geometry, the electronic and magnetic structure of hydrogen-terminated graphene-nanoribbons edges as a function of the hydrogen content of the environment by means of density functional theory.…
Surface/edge energy is typically modeled as a continuous function of orientation, $\gamma({\bf n})$. We put forward a simple geometric argument that suggests this picture is inadequate for crystals with a non-Bravais lattice structure. In…
In this study, we investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of graphane nanoribbons. We find that zigzag and armchair graphane nanoribbons with H-passivated edges are nonmagnetic semiconductors. While bare armchair ribbons are also…
