We investigate the transport of electrons in disordered and pristine graphene devices. Fano shot noise, a standard metric to assess the mechanism for electronic transport in mesoscopic devices, has been shown to produce almost the same…

Recently, a new kind of two dimensional (2D) artificial electron lattice, i.e. molecule graphene, has drawn a lots of interest, where the metal surface electrons are transformed into a honeycomb lattice via absorbing a molecule lattice on…

Confinement of electrons in graphene to make devices has proven to be a challenging task. Electrostatic methods fail because of Klein tunneling, while etching into nanoribbons requires extreme control of edge terminations, and bottom-up…

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…

Due to its ultrahigh electron transmissivity in a wide electron energy range, molecular impermeability, high electrical conductivity and excellent mechanical stiffness the suspended graphene membranes appear to be a nearly ideal window…

Heterostructures involving graphene and bismuth, with their ability to absorb light over a very wide energy range, are of interest for engineering next-generation opto-electronics. Critical to the technological application of such…

Charge-neutral conducting systems represent a class of materials with unusual properties governed by electron-hole (e-h) interactions. Depending on the quasiparticles' statistics, band structure, and device geometry these semimetallic…

In recent years, the data traffic has grown exponentially and the forecasts indicate a huge market that could be addressed by communication infrastructure and service providers. However, the processing capacity, space, and energy…

We develop a microscopic large-$N$ theory of electron-electron interaction corrections to multi-legged Feynman diagrams describing second- and third-order nonlinear response functions. Our theory, which reduces to the well-known random…

We show analytically that the ability of Dirac materials to localize an electron in both a barrier and a well can be utilized to open a pseudo-gap in graphene's spectrum. By using narrow top-gates as guiding potentials, we demonstrate that…

We show that a domain wall separating single layer graphene (SLG) and AA-stacked bilayer graphene (AA-BLG) can be used to generate highly collimated electron beams which can be steered by a magnetic field. Such system exists in two distinct…

Exerting well-defined control over the reflection $(R)$, absorption $(A)$, and transmission $(T)$ of electromagnetic waves is a key objective in quantum optics. To this end, one often utilizes hybrid structures comprised of elements with…

Graphene's low-energy electronic excitations obey a 2+1 dimensional Dirac Hamiltonian. After extending this Hamiltonian to include interactions with a quantized electromagnetic field, we calculate the amplitude associated with the simplest,…

Standard multiple-beam holography has been largely used to produce gratings in polymer-liquid crystal composites, like POLICRYPS, H-PDLC gratings and POLIPHEM [1]. In this work we present a different approach to liquid crystalpolymeric…

We report a new method for quantitative estimation of graphene layer thicknesses using high contrast imaging of graphene films on insulating substrates with a scanning electron microscope. By detecting the attenuation of secondary electrons…

Recent advances in the creation and modulation of graphene-like systems are introducing a science of "designer Dirac materials". In its original definition, artificial graphene is a man-made nanostructure that consists of identical…

Artifical superlattice (SL) potentials have been employed extensively for band structure engineering of two-dimensional (2D) Dirac electron gas in graphene. While such engineered electronic band structures can modify optical or plasmonic…

Much attention has been focused on ways of rendering graphene semiconducting. We study periodically gated graphene in a tight-binding model and find that, contrary to predictions based on the Dirac equation, it is possible to open a band…

Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) semimetal with high mobility in charge carriers due to the existence of Dirac points. Silicene is another promising material, with properties analog to graphene. Many silicon (Si) based electronic devices…

Bilayer graphene is normally a semimetal with parabolic dispersion, but a tunable bandgap up to few hundreds meV can be opened by breaking the symmetry between the layers through an external potential. Ab-initio calculations show that the…
