The role of defect-induced zero-energy modes on charge transport in graphene is investigated using Kubo and Landauer transport calculations. By tuning the density of random distributions of monovacancies either equally populating the two…
We study electron transport properties of a monoatomic graphite layer (graphene) with different types of disorder at half filling. We show that the transport properties of the system depend strongly on the symmetry of disorder. We find that…
We study the transport properties of a tight-binding model of non-interacting fermions with random hopping on the honeycomb lattice. At the particle-hole symmetric chemical potential, the absence of diagonal disorder (random onsite…
The remarkable transport properties of graphene follow not only from the the Dirac-like energy dispersion, but also from the chiral nature of its excitations, which makes unclear the limits of applicability of the standard semiclassical…
Off-diagonal disorder with random hopping between the sublattices of a bipartite lattice is described by a Hamiltonian which has chiral (sub-lattice) symmetry. The energy spectrum is symmetric around E=0 and for odd total number of lattice…
Charge carrier transport in single-layer graphene with one-dimensional charged defects is studied theoretically. Extended charged defects, considered an important factor for mobility degradation in chemically-vapor-deposited graphene, are…
A transfer matrix approach to study ballistic charge transport in few-layer graphene with chiral-symmetric stacking configurations is developed. We demonstrate that the chiral symmetry justifies a non-Abelian gauge transformation at the…
We present exact analytical solutions for the zero-energy modes of two-dimensional massless Dirac fermions fully confined within a smooth one-dimensional potential V(x)= - {\alpha}/cosh({\beta}x), which provides a good fit for potential…
It has been recently demonstrated experimentally that graphene, or single-layer carbon, is a gapless semiconductor with massless Dirac energy spectrum. A finite conductivity per channel of order of $e^{2}/h$ in the limit of zero temperature…
Breaking inversion symmetry in chiral graphene systems, \textit{e.g.}, by applying a perpendicular electric field in chirally-stacked rhombohedral multilayer graphene or by introducing staggered sublattice potentials in monolayer graphene,…
We propose an extensive report on the simulation of electronic transport in 2D graphene in presence of structural defects. Amongst the large variety of such defects in sp$^2$ carbon-based materials, we focus on the Stone-Wales defect and on…
Charge carriers in graphene are chiral quasiparticles ("massless Dirac fermions"). Graphene provides therefore an amazing opportunity to study subtle quantum relativistic effects in condensed matter experiment. Here I review a theory of one…
Two-dimensional Dirac fermions are used to discuss quasiparticles in graphene in the presence of impurity scattering. Transport properties are completely dominated by diffusion. This may explain why recent experiments did not find weak…
One-dimensional (1D) graphene superlattices have been predicted to exhibit zero-energy modes a decade ago, but an experimental proof has remained missing. Motivated by a recent experiment that could possibly shed light on this, here we…
The conductance of metallic graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with single defects and weak disorder at their edges is investigated in a tight-binding model. We find that a single edge defect will induce quasi-localized states and consequently…
The density of states (DoS), $\varrho(E)$, of graphene is investigated numerically and within the self-consistent T-matrix approximation (SCTMA) in the presence of vacancies within the tight binding model. The focus is on compensated…
We report on robust features of the longitudinal conductivity ($\sigma_{xx}$) of the graphene zero-energy Landau level in presence of disorder and varying magnetic fields. By mixing an Anderson disorder potential with a low density of…
We study the transport properties of a neutral graphene sheet with curved regions induced or stabilized by topological defects. The proposed model gives rise to Dirac fermions in a random magnetic field and in the random space dependent…
The study of vacancies in graphene is a topic of growing interest. A single vacancy induces a localized stable charge of order unity interacting with other charges of the conductor through an unscreened Coulomb potential. It also breaks the…
Transport in ultrathin graphite grown on silicon carbide is dominated by the electron-doped epitaxial layer at the interface. Weak anti-localization in 2D samples manifests itself as a broad cusp-like depression in the longitudinal…
