Graphene is known as the strongest 2D material in nature, yet we show that moderate charge doping of either electrons or holes can further enhance its ideal strength by up to ~17%, based on first principles calculations. This unusual…

Graphene and carbon nanotubes have extraordinary mechanical and electronic properties. Intrinsic line defects such as local non-hexagonal reconstructions or grain boundaries, however, significantly reduce the tensile strength, but feature…

Graphene, due to its superior stretchability, exhibits rich structural deformation behaviors and its strain-engineering has proven useful in modifying its electronic and magnetic properties. Despite the strain-sensitivity of the Raman G and…

Doping is one of the most prominent techniques to alter properties of a given material. Herein, the influence of the electron- and hole-doping on the selected superconducting properties of graphene are considered. In details, the…

Near-interfacial oxide traps and chemical impurities on the graphene surface or at the graphene-dielectric interface can be a source of intentional or unintentional doping of graphene sheet. The efficiency of such chemical doping can vary…

In this work, we investigate the possibility of enhancing the thermoelectric power (Seebeck coefficient) in graphene devices by strain and doping engineering. While a local strain can result in the misalignment of Dirac cones of different…

Graphene is a promising candidate to succeed silicon based devices and doping holds the key to graphene electronics. Conventional doping methods through surface functionalization or lattice modification are effective in tuning carrier…

The thermodynamic, kinetic and magnetic properties of the hydrogen monomer on doped graphene layers were studied by ab initio simulations. Electron doping was found to heighten the diffusion potential barrier, while hole doping lowers it.…

We present a new way to tune the electron-phonon coupling (EPC) in graphene by changing the deformation potential with electron/hole doping. We show the EPC for highest optical branch at the high symmetry point K, acquires a strong…

Among the different strategies used to induce the opening of a band gap in graphene, one common practice is through chemical doping. While a gap may me opened in this way, disorder-induced scattering is an unwanted side-effect that impacts…

The electrical properties of graphene are known to be modified by chemical species that interact with it. We investigate the effect of doping of graphene-based devices by toluene (C6H5CH3). We show that this effect has a complicated…

We achieve fine tuning of graphene effective doping by applying ultrahigh pressures (> 10 GPa) using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) diamond tips. Specific areas in graphene flakes are irreversibly flattened against a SiO2 substrate. Our work…

Graphene, a one-atom thick zero gap semiconductor [1, 2], has been attracting an increasing interest due to its remarkable physical properties ranging from an electron spectrum resembling relativistic dynamics [3-12] to ballistic transport…

Density functional theory calculations suggest a pronounced hole electron doping asymmetry in a single layer graphene. It turns out that a single graphene sheet can sustain doping levels up to 0.1 holes or up to a remarkably large 1.9…

Controlling the type and density of charge carriers by doping is the key step for developing graphene electronics. However, direct doping of graphene is rather a challenge. Based on first-principles calculations, a concept of overcoming…

Graphene is a realization of an esoteric class of materials -- electronic crystalline membranes. We study the interplay between the free electrons and the two-dimensional crystal, and find that it induces a substantial effect on the elastic…

The modification of single layer graphene due to intense, picoseconds near-infrared laser pulses is investigated. We monitor the stable changes introduced to graphene upon photoexcitation using Raman spectroscopy. We find that…

Many of the proposed future applications of graphene require the controlled introduction of defects into its perfect lattice. Energetic ions provide one way of achieving this challenging goal. Single heavy ions with kinetic energies in the…

We present first-principles calculations of electronic properties of graphene under uniaxial and isotropic strains, respectively. The semi-metallic nature is shown to persist up to a very large uniaxial strain of 30% except a very narrow…

Defects in solid commonly limit mechanical performance of the material. However, recent measurements reported that the extraordinarily high strength of graphene is almost retained with the presence of grain boundaries. We clarify in this…
