Conductance fluctuations produced by the presence of disorder in zigzag and armchair graphene nanoribbons are studied. We show that quantum transport in zigzag nanoribbons takes place via edge states which are exponentially localized, as in…
We suggest a simple model of disorder in graphene assuming that there are randomly distributed positive and negative centers with equal concentration $N/2$ in the bulk of silicon oxide substrate. We show that at zero gate voltage such…
We characterize the carrier density profile of the ground state of graphene in the presence of particle-particle interaction and random charged impurity for zero gate voltage. We provide detailed analysis on the resulting spatially…
Spin-hosting graphene nanostructures are promising metal-free systems for elementary quantum spintronic devices. Conventionally, spins are protected from quenching by electronic bandgaps, which also hinder electronic access to their quantum…
The electronic properties of graphene are influenced by both geometric confinement and strain. We study the electronic structure of in-plane bent graphene nanoribbons, systems where confinement and strain are combined. To understand its…
We predict enhanced electron-hole superfluidity in two coupled electron-hole armchair-edge terminated graphene nanoribbons separated by a thin insulating barrier. In contrast to graphene monolayers, the multiple subbands of the nanoribbons…
We predict the existence of an intriguing "disorder by order" phenomenon in graphene transport where higher quality (and thus more ordered) samples, while having higher mobility at high carrier density, will manifest more strongly…
We study the effect of the edge disorder on the conductance of the graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). We find that only very modest edge disorder is sufficient to induce the conduction energy gap in the otherwise metallic GNRs and to lift any…
We demonstrate that the spectrum rearrangement can be considered as a precursor of the metal-insulator transition observed in graphene dosed with hydrogen atoms. The Anderson-type transition is attributed to the coincidence between the…
We theoretically study the transport properties of both monolayer and bilayer graphene in the presence of electron-hole puddles induced by charged impurities which are invariably present in the graphene environment. We calculate the…
We investigate the effects of homogeneous and inhomogeneous deformations and edge disorder on the conductance of gated graphene nanoribbons. Under increasing homogeneous strain the conductance of such devices initially decreases before it…
The conduction electrons in graphene promise new opportunities to access the region of strong many-body electron-electron correlations. Extremely high quality, atomically flat two-dimensional electron sheets and quasi-one-dimensional…
We report the electronic properties of two-dimensional systems made of graphene nanoribbons which are patterned with ad-atoms in two separated regions. Due to the extra electronic confinement induced by the presence of the impurities, we…
Understanding disorder in graphene is essential for electronic applications; in contrast to conventional materials, the extraordinarily low electron-phonon scattering1, 2 in graphene implies that disorder3-7 dominates its resistivity even…
Electronic transport with a line (or a few lines) of Anderson type disorder in a zigzag graphene nanoribbon is investigated in presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Such line disorders give rise to peculiar behavior in both charge as…
We present electron transport measurements on lithographically defined and etched graphene nanoconstrictions with different aspect ratios including different lengths (L) and widths (W). A roughly length-independent disorder induced…
We report an electron transport study of lithographically fabricated graphene nanoribbons of various widths and lengths at different temperatures. At the charge neutrality point, a length-independent transport gap forms whose size is…
While graphene is a semi-metal, a recently synthesized hydrogenated graphene called graphane, is an insulator. We have probed the transformation of graphene upon hydrogenation to graphane within the framework of density functional theory.…
The effect of an electron-hole puddle on the electrical transport when governed by snake states in a bipolar graphene structure is investigated. Using numerical simulations we show that information on the size and position of the…
We study the effect of long-range disorder created by charge impurities on the carrier density distribution of graphene-based heterostructures. We consider heterostructures formed by two graphenic sheets (either single layer graphene, SLG,…
