Designing high-finesse resonant cavities for electronic waves faces challenges due to short electron coherence lengths in solids. Previous approaches, e.g. the seminal nanometer-sized quantum corrals, depend on careful positioning of…
We propose a distant-neighbor quantum-mechanical (DNQM) approach to study the linear and nonlinear optical properties of graphene nanoflakes (GNFs). In contrast to the widely used tight-binding description of the electronic states that…
Long-lived mechanical resonators like drums oscillating at MHz frequencies and operating in the quantum regime are a powerful platform for quantum technologies and tests of fundamental physics. Yet, quantum control of such systems remains…
We demonstrate strong coupling between the flexural vibration modes of a clamped-clamped micromechanical resonator vibrating at low amplitudes. This coupling enables the direct measurement of the frequency response via amplitude- and phase…
We study the non-linear electromagnetic response of graphene taking into account the self-consistent-field effects. Response of the system to a strong pulse excitation is calculated. It is shown that radiative decay in graphene differs from…
The edge reconstruction of zigzag graphene nanoribbons to a stable line of alternatively fused seven and five membered rings with hydrogen passivation has been studied within density functional theory with both localized and extended basis…
We investigate edge properties of a gapful rectangular graphene quantum dot in a staggered potential. In such a system gap states with discrete and closely spaced energy levels exist that are spatially located on the left or right zigzag…
Twisted bilayer graphene develop quasi-flat bands at specific "magic" interlayer rotation angles through an unconventional mechanism connected to carrier chirality. Quasi-flat bands are responsible for a wealth of exotic,…
Phonons are responsible for limiting both the electron mobility and the spin relaxation time in solids and provide a mechanism for thermal transport. In view of a possible transistor function as well as spintronics applications in graphene…
Achieving optimal force sensitivity with nanomechanical resonators requires the ability to resolve their thermal vibrations. In two-dimensional resonators, this can be done by measuring the energy they absorb while vibrating in an optical…
A quantum mechanical model of two interacting electrons in graphene is considered. We concentrate on the case of zero total momentum of the pair. We show that the dynamics of the system is very unusual. Both stationary and time-dependent…
Quantum charge pumping, the quantum coherent generation of a dc current at zero bias through time dependent potentials, provides outstanding opportunities for metrology and the development of new devices. The long electronic coherence times…
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are thin strips of graphene with unique properties due to their structure and nanometric dimensions. They stand out as basic components for the construction of different types of nanoelectromechanical systems…
We investigate the conductance of an undoped graphene sheet with two metallic contacts and an electrostatically gated island (quantum dot) between the contacts. Our analysis is based on the Matrix Green Function formalism, which was…
We have studied electron scattering by out-of-plane (flexural) phonon modes in doped suspended graphene and its effect on charge transport. In the free-standing case (absence of strain) the flexural branch shows a quadratic dispersion…
We investigate the resonant regime of a mesoscopic cavity made of graphene or a doped beam splitter. Using Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics, we consider the Bender-Boettcher assumption that a system must obey parity and time reversal…
Finite-temperature properties of graphene monolayers under tensile stress have been studied by path-integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulations. This method allows one to consider the quantization of vibrational modes in these…
Quantum confined devices that manipulate single electrons in graphene are emerging as attractive candidates for nanoelectronics applications. Previous experiments have employed etched graphene nanostructures, but edge and substrate disorder…
The advent of few-layer graphenes has given rise to a new family of two-dimensional systems with emergent electronic properties governed by relativistic quantum mechanics. The multiple carbon sublattices endow the electronic wavefunctions…
In this letter, we demonstrate a non-volatile memory device in a graphene FET structure using ferroelectric gating. The binary information, i.e. "1" and "0", is represented by the high and low resistance states of the graphene working…
