A class of graphene wound into three-dimensional periodic curved surfaces ("graphitic zeolites") is proposed and their electronic structures are obtained to explore how the massless Dirac fermions behave on periodic surfaces. We find in the…
We investigate how a localized curvature affects the dynamics of massless Dirac fermions in a curved surface. We consider a smooth bump with axial symmetry, adopting two specific geometric models, namely a Gaussian and a volcano-like bumps.…
Previously reported formulation for electrons on curved periodic surfaces is used to analyze the band structure of an electron bound on the gyroid surface (the only triply-periodic minimal surface that has screw axes). We find that an…
Interest on 2 + 1 dimensional electron systems has increased considerably after the realization of novel properties of graphene sheets, in which the behaviour of electrons is effectively described by relativistic equations. Having this fact…
A mathematical formulation for particle states and electronic properties of a curved graphene sheet is provided, exploiting a massless Dirac spectrum description for charge carriers living in a curved bidimensional background. In…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, especially their most prominent member, graphene, have greatly influenced many scientific areas. Moreover, they have become a base for investigating the relativistic properties of condensed matter within the…
The Dirac point and linear band structure in Graphene bestow it with remarkable electronic and optical properties, a subject of intense ongoing research. Explanations of high electronic mobility in graphene, often invoke the masslessness of…
The electronic structure of nanocylinder without and with a small perturbation is investigated with the help of calculation of the local density of states. A continuum gauge field-theory model is used for this purpose. In this model, Dirac…
We explore the gapped graphene structure in the two-dimensional plane in the presence of the Rosen-Morse potential and an external uniform magnetic field. In order to describe the corresponding structure, we consider the propagation of…
We propose a mechanical granular graphene obtained by replacing the carbon atoms with macroscopic spherical stainless steel beads in contact. The experimental measured dispersion relation is presented, in conjunction with evidence of the…
A remarkable manifestation of the quantum character of electrons in matter is offered by graphene, a single atomic layer of graphite. Unlike conventional solids where electrons are described with the Schrodinger equation, electronic…
The collective excitation of surface plasmons in a massless Dirac plasma (e.g., graphene) half-space (bounded by air) is investigated using a relativistic quantum fluid model. The unique features of such surface waves are discussed and…
The recent discovery of methods to isolate graphene, a one-atom-thick layer of crystalline carbon, has raised the possibility of a new class of nano-electronics devices based on the extraordinary electrical transport and unusual physical…
Electronic properties of two-dimensional allotropes of carbon, such as graphene and its bilayer, multi-layer epitaxial graphene, few-layer Bernal-stacked graphene, as well as of three-dimensional bulk graphite are reviewed from the…
Motivated by recent experiments and a theoretical analysis of the gap equation for the propagator of Dirac quasiparticles, we assume that the physics underlying the recently observed removal of sublattice and spin degeneracies in graphene…
In the last few years, the fascinating properties of graphene have been thoroughly investigated. The existence of Dirac cones is the most important characteristic of the electronic band-structure of graphene. In this theoretical paper,…
We study theoretically "graphene-like" plasmonic metamaterials constituted by two-dimensional arrays of metallic nanoparticles, including perfect honeycomb structures with and without inversion symmetry, as well as generic bipartite…
The remarkable properties of graphene stem from its two-dimensional (2D) structure, with a linear dispersion of the electronic states at the corners of the Brillouin zone (BZ) forming a Dirac cone. Since then, other 2D materials have been…
The present study explores the edge states in a finite-width graphene ribbon and a semi-infinite geometry subject to a perpendicular magnetic field and an in-plane electric field, applied perpendicular to a zigzag edge. To accomplish this,…
We investigate numerically the spin properties of electrons in flakes made of materials described by the Dirac equation, at the presence of intrinsic spin-orbit-coupling(SOC). We show that electrons flowing along the borders of flakes via…
