Employing graphene as a template, we fabricate moir\'e superlattices by stacking bilayer or folded bilayer-bilayer graphene (BLG or fBBLG) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), i.e., hBN/BLG/hBN or hBN/fBBLG/hBN stacks, with a small twist…
General properties of long wavelength triangular graphene superlattice are studied. It is shown that Dirac points with and without gaps can arise at a number of high symmetry points of the Brillouin Zone. The existence of gaps can lead to…
In strongly interacting systems with multiple energy bands, the interplay between electrons with different effective masses and the enlarged Hilbert space drives intricate correlated phenomena that do not occur in single-band systems.…
Graphene-metal nanoparticle hybrid materials potentially display not only the unique properties of metal nanoparticles and those of graphene, but also additional novel properties due to the interaction between graphene and nanoparticles.…
Interference of double moire patterns of graphene (G) encapsulated by hexagonal boron nitride (BN) can alter the electronic structure features near the primary/secondary Dirac points and the electron-hole symmetry introduced by a single…
The band gap of periodically-doped graphene with hydrogen is investigated. It is found through a tight-binding model (TB) that for certain periodicities, called here NGPs (non-gap periodicities), no gap is opened at the Dirac point. This…
We consider the gapped graphene superlattice (SL) constructed in accordance with the Fibonacci rule. Quasi-periodic modulation is due to the difference in the values of the energy gap in different SL elements. It is shown that the effective…
We develop a theory for manipulating the effective band structure of interacting helical edge states realized on the boundary of two-dimensional time-reversal symmetric topological insulators. For sufficiently strong interaction, an…
Hexagonal boron-nitride (h-BN) provides an ideal substrate for supporting graphene devices to achieve fascinating transport properties, such as Klein tunneling, electron optics and other novel quantum transport phenomena. However,…
We review the fabrication and transport characterization of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)/Bernal bilayer graphene (BLG) moir\'e superlattices. Due to the moir\'e effect, the hBN/BLG moir\'e superlattices exhibit an energy gap at the charge…
Experiments on hexagonal graphene-like structures using microwave measuring techniques are presented. The lowest transverse-electric resonance of coupled dielectric disks sandwiched between two metallic plates establishes a tight-binding…
Graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (G/$h$-BN) heterostructures offer an excellent platform for developing nanoelectronic devices and for exploring correlated states in graphene under modulation by a periodic superlattice potential. Here, we…
The electronic structure of a graphene superlattice composed by two periodic regions with different Fermi velocity, energy gap and electrostatic potential is investigated by using an effective Dirac-like Hamiltonian. It must be expected…
Monolayer graphene aligned with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) develops a gap at the charge neutrality point (CNP). This gap has previously been extensively studied by electrical transport through thermal activation measurements. Here, we…
We investigate the emergence of extra Dirac points in the electronic structure of a periodically spaced barrier system, i.e., a superlattice, on single-layer graphene, using a Dirac-type Hamiltonian. Using square barriers allows us to find…
We investigate electronic band gap and transport in Fibonacci quasi-periodic graphene superlattice. It is found that such structure can possess a zero-$\bar{k}$ gap which exists in all Fibonacci sequences. Different from Bragg gap,…
Recent advances in the creation and modulation of graphene-like systems are introducing a science of "designer Dirac materials". In its original definition, artificial graphene is a man-made nanostructure that consists of identical…
Intensive research has focused on harnessing the potential of graphene for electronic, optoelectronic, and spintronic devices by generating a bandgap at the Dirac point and enhancing the spin-orbit interaction in the graphene layer.…
Recent progress in preparing well controlled 2D van der Waals heterojunctions has opened up a new frontier in materials physics. In this paper we address the intriguing energy gaps that are sometimes observed when a graphene sheet is placed…
Theory of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in graphene is presented. The canonical form of the electron-nucleus hyperfine interaction is strongly modified by the linear electronic dispersion. The NMR shift and spin-lattice relaxation time…
