The grain boundaries (GBs) of a graphene surface were extensively studied because GBs with specific defect configurations result in the formation of new curved structures, which can be treated as new carbon allotropes. We studied the…

Grain boundaries (GBs) are a prolific microstructural feature that dominates the functionality of a wide class of materials. The change in functionality at a GB is a direct result of unique local atomic arrangements, different from those in…

We perform a MonteCarlo simulation in order to study the connection between the morphology and the transport properties of grain boundaries (GBs) in graphene. We explore the configurational space of GBs to generate ensembles of realistic…

Electronic, transport, and spin properties of grain boundaries (GBs) are investigated in electrostatically doped graphene at finite electron densities within the Hartree and Hubbard approximations. We demonstrate that depending on the…

In this study, sub-angstrom spatial resolution is achieved in mapping and spectroscopy of atoms and bonds within polygonal grain boundaries (GBs) of graphite using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). Robust van Hove singularities (VHS) are…

Phonon scattering at grain boundaries (GBs) is significant in controlling nanoscale device thermal conductivity. However, GBs could also act as waveguides for selected modes. To measure localized GB phonon modes, meV energy resolution is…

The chapter generalizes results on influence of uniaxial strain and adsorption on the electron states and charge transport or localization in graphene with different configurations of imperfections (point defects): resonant (neutral)…

The evolution of electronic wave packets (WPs) through grain boundaries (GBs) of various structures in graphene was investigated by the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schroedinger equation. WPs were injected from a simulated STM…

Grain boundaries (GBs) are ubiquitous in polycrystalline graphene materials obtained by various growth methods. It has been shown previously that considerable electrical transport gap can be opened by grain boundaries. On the other hand,…

We measured the local density of states (LDOS) of a quasi two-dimensional (2D) electron system near point defects on a surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. Differential…

While boron nitride (BN) substrates have been utilized to achieve high electronic mobilities in graphene field effect transistors, it is unclear how other layered two dimensional (2D) crystals influence the electronic performance of…

We introduce a model for amorphous grain boundaries in graphene, and find that stable structures can exist along the boundary that are responsible for local density of states enhancements both at zero and finite (~0.5 eV) energies. Such…

The geometry of two-dimensional crystalline membranes dictates their mechanical, electronic and chemical properties. The local geometry of a surface is determined from the two invariants of the metric and the curvature tensors. Here we…

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…

Graphene antidot lattices have recently been proposed as a new breed of graphene-based superlattice structures. We study electronic properties of triangular antidot lattices, with emphasis on the occurrence of dispersionless (flat) bands…

Grain boundaries play a major role for electron transport in graphene sheets grown by chemical vapor deposition. Here we investigate the electronic structure and transport properties of idealized graphene grain boundaries (GBs) in…

Grain boundaries (GBs), an important constituent of polycrystalline materials, have a wide range of manifestion and significantly affect the properties of materials. Fully understanding the effects of GBs is stalemated due to lack of…
