We study the effects of adding a local perturbation in a pattern forming system, taking as an example the Ginzburg-Landau equation with a small localized inhomogeneity in two dimensions. Measuring the response through the linearization at a…

We study the influence of spinless impurities on a frustrated magnet featuring a spin-density wave (stripe) phase by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We demonstrate that the interplay between the impurities and an order parameter that…

We investigate the effect of spatial inhomogeneity on perfectly periodic, self-organized striped patterns in spatially extended systems. We demonstrate that inhomogeneities select a specific translate of the striped patterns and induce…

This work analyses how impurities and vacancies on the surface of a graphene sample affect its optical conductivity and plasmon excitations. The disorder is analysed in the self-consistent Green's function formulation and nonlocal effects…

We study the effects of quenched extended impurities on nonequilibrium phase transitions in the directed percolation universality class. We show that these impurities have a dramatic effect: they completely destroy the sharp phase…

We study the effect of impurities in superconducting graphene and discuss their influence on the local electronic properties. In particular, we consider the case of magnetic and non-magnetic impurities being either strongly localized or…

Unique electronic band structure of graphene with its semi-metallic features near the charge neutrality point is sensitive to impurity effects. Using the Lifshitz and Anderson impurity models, we study in detail the disorder induced…

We have studied the static and dynamic properties of quasi-two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets (AF) diluted with spinless impurities using spin-wave theory and $T$-matrix approximation. We show that the spectrum of a 2D AF at long…

Here we report a facile method to generate a high density of point defects in graphene on metal foil and show how the point defects affect the electronic structures of graphene layers. Our scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements,…

We discuss the use of differential sampling method to image local perturbations in anisotropic periodic layers, extending earlier works on the isotropic case. We study in particular the new interior transmission problem that is associated…

Impurities and random disorder are known to affect topological superconducting phases and their Majorana zero modes (MZMs). In particular, it is a common assumption that disorder negatively influences the braiding dynamics of MZMs.…

We study rectangular graphene flakes using mean field states as the basis for a configuration interaction calculation, which allows us to analyze the low lying electronic excited states including electron correlations beyond the mean field…

One considers the effect of disorder on the 2-dimensional density of states of an electron in a constant magnetic field superposed onto a Poissonnian random distribution of point vortices. If one restricts the electron Hilbert space to the…

Defects in graphene are of crucial importance for its electronic and magnetic properties. Here impurity effects on the electronic structure of surrounding carbon atoms are considered and the distribution of the local densities of states…

We investigate the impact of topology on the existence of impurity subgap states in a time-reversal-invariant superconductor with an extended $s$-wave pairing and strong spin-orbit coupling. By simply tuning the chemical potential we access…

We review the problem of adatoms in graphene under two complementary points of view, scattering theory and strong correlations. We show that in both cases impurity atoms on the graphene surface present effects that are absent in the physics…

In weakly nonlinear systems, the main effect of cubic nonlinearity on wave propagation is an amplitude-dependent correction of the dispersion relation. This phenomenon can manifest either as a frequency shift or as a wavenumber shift…

We examine the effects of disorder in one-dimensional systems. We link the case of a few impurities, typical of a short quantum wire, to that of a finite density of scatterers more appropriate for a long wire or a macroscopic system.…

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…

The spatial inhomogeneities are expected to affect nucleation process in an essential way. These effects are studied theoretically by considering the case of the depinning of the charge density wave as a typical example. The threshold field…
