Considerable efforts have been made to trap massless Dirac fermions in graphene monolayer, but only quasi-bound states are realized in continuous graphene sheets up to now. Here, we demonstrate the realization of bound states in nanoscale…
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…
The goal of the present study is to explore how the size and functionalization of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) affect their sensing capabilities. Specifically, we investigated the adsorption of SO$_2$, SOF$_2$, SO$_2$F$_2$, and SF$_6$ on…
Peculiar electronic properties of graphene, including the universal dc conductivity and the pseudodiffusive shot noise, are usually attributed to a small vicinity of the charge-neutrality point, away from which electron's effective mass…
Structure and coordinate dependence of the reflected wave, as well as boundary conditions for quasi-particles of graphene and the two dimensional electron gas in sheets with abrupt lattice edges are obtained and analyzed by the Green's…
We study the ground-state properties of a double layer graphene system with the Coulomb interlayer electron-electron interaction modeled within the random phase approximation. We first obtain an expression of the quantum capacitance of a…
Electrons in graphene with heavy adatoms (such as In or Tl) have been predicted to form a 2D topological insulator phase with a substantial spectral gap potentially suitable for future practical applications. In order to facilitate the…
Topological superconductors should be able to provide essential ingredients for quantum computing, but are very challenging to realize. Spin-orbit interaction in iron-based superconductors opens the energy gap between the $p$-states of…
The effects of a propagating sinusoidal out-of-plane flexural deformation in the electronic properties of a tense membrane of graphene are considered within a non-perturbative approach, leading to an electron-ripple coupling. The…
Over many years, computational simulations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) have been used extensively to study many different materials at the atomic scale. However, its application is restricted by system size, leaving a number of…
Dynamic AdS/QCD is a modification of AdS/QCD that includes the running of the anomalous dimension of the q-bar q quark bilinear and in which the generation of the constituent quark mass plays the role of an IR wall. The model allows one to…
The phonon density of states (DOS) of graphene with different types of point defects (carbon isotopes, substitution atoms, vacancies) is considered. Using a solvable model which is based on the harmonic approximation and the assumption that…
We find a systematic reappearance of massive Dirac features at the edges of consecutive minibands formed at magnetic fields B_{p/q}= p\phi_0/(qS) providing rational magnetic flux through a unit cell of the moire superlattice created by a…
We study the symmetry classes of graphene quantum dots, both open and closed, through the conductance and energy level statistics. For abrupt termination of the lattice, these properties are well described by the standard orthogonal and…
The electrical conductivity of suspended graphene has recently been measured for the first time, and found to behave as \sigma ~ \sqrt{|n|} as expected for Dirac quasiparticles at large carrier density. The charge inhomogeneity is strongly…
We use large-scale DFT calculations to investigate with unprecedented detail the so-called spin-orbit (SO) proximity effect in graphene adsorbed on the Pt(111) and Ni(111)/Au semi-infinite surfaces, previously studied via spin and angle…
Graphene plasmonics has become a highlighted research area due to the outstanding properties of deep-subwavelength plasmon excitation, long relaxation time, and electro-optical tunability. Although the giant conductivity of a graphene layer…
Energetic and geometric aspects of the permeation of low-Z atoms through graphene sheets are investigated. Energy barriers and deformations are calculated via density functional theory for the permeation of H, He, Li and Be atoms at several…
We investigate in detail the $\nu=+1$ displacement-field-tuned interacting phase diagram of $L=3,4,5,6,7$ layer rhombohedral graphene aligned to hBN (R$L$G/hBN). Our calculations account for the 3D nature of the Coulomb interaction, the…
Quantum point contacts (QPCs) are cornerstones of mesoscopic physics and central building blocks for quantum electronics. Although the Fermi wave-length in high-quality bulk graphene can be tuned up to hundreds of nanometers, the…
