We present a study of different models of local disorder in graphene. Our focus is on the main effects that vacancies -- random, compensated and uncompensated --, local impurities and substitutional impurities bring into the electronic…
Controlled modification of graphene properties is essential for its proposed electronic applications. Here we describe a possibility of tuning electrical properties of graphene via electron beam irradiation. We show that by controlling the…
Graphene is one of the most promising 2D materials for various applications due to its unique electronic properties and high thermal stability. In previous studies, it was shown that when graphene is deposited onto some transition metal…
We investigate the mobility of structural defects, adatoms, and defect-adatom combinations in self-supporting graphene subjected to keV ion irradiation. In the first scenario, homogeneous irradiation using 20 keV Ar$^+$ ions at a dose of $3…
Strains strongly affect the properties of low-dimensional materials, such as graphene. By combining in situ, in operando, reflection high energy electron diffraction experiments with first-principles calculations, we show that large…
The chapter combines analytical (statistical-thermodynamic and kinetic) with numerical (Kubo-Greenwood-formalism-based) approaches used to ascertain an influence of the configurations of point (impurities, vacancies) and line (grain…
Transport measurements have revealed several exotic electronic properties of graphene. The possibility to influence the electronic structure and hence control the conductivity by adsorption or doping with adatoms is crucial in view of…
The electronic structure of graphene on Cu(111) and Cu(100) single crystals is investigated using low energy electron microscopy, low energy electron diffraction and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. On both substrates the graphene…
The smearing of the graphene/graphane interface due to the thermally activated migration of hydrogen atoms is studied by the molecular dynamics method. Contrary to expectations, it is found that the fast spontaneous regeneration of this…
Graphene has been extensively studied for a variety of electronic and optoelectronic applications. The reported contact resistance between metal and graphene, or rather its specific contact resistance (R{_C}), ranges from a few tens of…
We present a computational study on the topology, energetics and structural deformations for a large number of experimentally observed defect configurations in graphene. We find that both the number of lost hexagonal carbon rings and…
Results of first principles modelling of interactions graphene and graphite with iron impurities predict the colossal difference between these two carbon allotropes. Insertion of the iron atoms between the planes of graphite is much more…
It has been shown that the first C layer on the SiC(0001)(2{\times}2)C surface already exhibits graphene-like electronic structure, with linear pi bands near the Dirac point. Indeed, the (2{\times}2)C reconstruction, with a Si adatom and C…
Recent experiments report the existence of ferromagnetic and superconducting fluctuations in graphite at unexpectedly high temperatures. The interplay of disorder and interactions in a 2D graphene layer is shown to give rise to a rich phase…
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to study the formation process of nanopores in a suspended graphene sheet irradiated by using energetic ions though a mask. By controlling the ion parameters including mass, energy and…
Graphene-metal contact resistance is governed by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsically, both the density of states bottleneck near the Dirac point and carrier reflection at the graphene-metal interface lead to a high contact…
Using low-energy electron microscopy, we study Co intercalation under graphene grown on Ir(111). Depending on the rotational domain of graphene on which it is deposited, Co is found intercalated at different locations. While intercalated Co…
Using atomistic computer simulations, we study how ion irradiation can be used to alter the morphology of a graphene monolayer by introducing defects of specific type, and to cut graphene sheets. Based on the results of our analytical…
Freestanding graphene displays an outstanding resilience to electron irradiation at low electron energies. Point defects in graphene are, however, subject to beam driven dynamics. This means that high resolution micrographs of point…
Intercalation of different species under graphene on metals is an effective way to tailor electronic properties of these systems. Here we present the successful intercalation of metallic (Cu) and gaseous (oxygen) specimens underneath…
