The limits of reversible deformation in graphene under various loadings are examined using lattice-dynamical stability analysis. This information is then used to construct a comprehensive lattice-stability limit surface for graphene, which…
We investigate the low energy continuum limit theory for electrons in a graphene sheet under strain. We use the quantum field theory in curved spaces to analyze the effect of the system deformations into an effective gauge field. We study…
It is shown here that fracture after a brief plastic strain, typically of a few percents, is a necessary consequence of the polycrystalline nature of the materials. The polycrystal undergoing plastic deformation is modeled as a flowing…
Improved fabrication techniques have enabled the possibility of ballistic transport and unprecedented spin manipulation in ultraclean graphene devices. Spin transport in graphene is typically probed in a nonlocal spin valve and is analyzed…
Modifying the hexagonal lattices of graphene enables the repositioning and merging of the Dirac cones which proves to be a key element in the use of these materials for alternative electronic applications such as valleytronics. Here we…
Dislocations are one-dimensional (1D) topological line defects where the lattice deviates from the perfect crystal structure. The presence of dislocations transcends condensed matter research and gives rise to a diverse range of emergent…
We theoretically study the strain effect on the Casimir interactions in graphene based systems. We found that the interactions between two strained graphene sheets are strongly dependent on the direction of stretching. The influence of the…
Strain engineering offers unique control to manipulate the electronic band structure of two-dimensional materials (2DMs) resulting in an effective and continuous tuning of the physical properties. Ad-hoc straining 2D materials has…
Recently, the strain engineering of two-dimensional materials such as graphene has attracted considerable attention for its great potential in functional nanodevices. Here, we theoretically and experimentally investigate the strain…
We rigorously derive a strain-gradient model of plasticity as a $\Gamma$-limit of continuum bodies containing finitely-many edge-dislocations (in two dimensions). The key difference from previous such derivations is the elemental notion of…
Motivated by recent proposals on strain-engineering of graphene electronic circuits we calculate conductivity, shot-noise and the density of states in periodically deformed graphene. We provide the solution to the Dirac-Kronig-Penney model,…
The properties of polycrystalline materials are often dominated by the size of their grains and by the atomic structure of their grain boundaries. These effects should be especially pronounced in 2D materials, where even a line defect can…
The fourfold spin-valley degenerate degrees of freedom in bulk graphene can support rich physics and novel applications associated with multicomponent quantum Hall effects and linear conductance filtering. In this work, we study how to…
To address the robustness of the transport gap induced by locally strained regions in graphene nanostructures, the effect of disorder and smoothness of the interface region is investigated within the Landauer-B\"uttiker formalism. The…
We extend the conventional transfer matrix method to include anisotropic features for electron transmission in two-dimensional materials, such as breaking reflection law in pseudo-spin phases and wave vectors. This method allows to study…
We investigate the effect of strain along armchair and zigzag directions on electrical transport in graphene through a magnetic barrier and a linearly polarized electromagnetic wave. In the context of Floquet theory, the eigenvalues and…
Strain engineering is a promising approach for suppressing the OFF-state conductance in graphene-based devices that arises from Klein tunnelling. In this work, we derive a comprehensive tight-binding Hamiltonian for strained graphene that…
Effective gravity and gauge fields are emergent properties intrinsic for low-energy quasiparticles in topological semimetals. Here, taking two Dirac semimetals as examples, we demonstrate that applied lattice strain can generate warped…
Interlayer coupling in rotationally faulted graphene multilayers breaks the local sublattice-symmetry of the individual layers. Earlier we have presented a theory of this mechanism, which reduces to an effective Dirac model with…
The sharp Dirac cone of the electronic dispersion confers to graphene a remarkable sensitivity to strain. It is usually encoded in scalar and pseudo-vector potentials, induced by the modification of hopping parameters, which have given rise…
