In the emergent field of quantum technology, the ability to manage heat at the nanoscale and in cryogenic conditions is crucial for enhancing device performance in terms of noise, coherence, and sensitivity. Here, we demonstrate the active…
Graphene is the nature's thinnest elastic membrane, with exceptional mechanical and electrical properties. We report the direct observation and creation of one-dimensional (1D) and 2D periodic ripples in suspended graphene sheets, using…
Graphene is the extreme material for molecular sensory and hydrogen storage applications because of its two-dimensional geometry and unique structure-property relationship. In this Letter, hydrogenation of graphene is discussed in the…
The mechanical behaviour of graphene flakes under both tension and compression is examined using a cantilever-beam arrangement. Two different sets of samples were employed involving flakes just supported on a plastic bar but also embedded…
Multilayered graphitic materials are not suitable as load-bearers due to their inherent weak interlayer bonding (for example, graphite is a solid lubricant in certain applications). This situation is largely improved when two-dimensional…
Graphene is a powerful playground for studying a plethora of quantum phenomena. One of the remarkable properties of graphene arises when it is strained in particular geometries and the electrons behave as if they were under the influence of…
We study the intrinsic transport properties of suspended graphene devices at high fields (>1 V/um) and high temperatures (>1000 K). Across 15 samples, we find peak (average) saturation velocity of 3.6x10^7 cm/s (1.7x10^7 cm/s), and peak…
Thermal energy storage using sensible heating of a solid storage medium is a potential low-cost technology for long-duration energy storage. To effectively get heat in and out of the solid material, channels of heat transfer fluid can be…
In this work, we present a performance analysis of Field Effect Transistors based on recently fabricated 100% hydrogenated graphene (the so-called graphane) and theoretically predicted semi-hydrogenated graphene (i.e. graphone). The…
We analyze the performance of a quantum Stirling heat engine (QSHE), using a two level system and the harmonic oscillator as the working medium, that contacts with a squeezed thermal reservoir and a cold reservoir. First, we derive…
A dynamical model of a highly efficient heat engine is proposed, where an applied temperature difference maintains the motion of particles around the circuit consisting of two asymmetric narrow channels, in one of which the current flows…
The presence of twist angles between layers of two-dimensional materials has a profound impact on their physical properties. Turbostratic multilayer graphene is a system containing a distribution of rotational stacking faults, and these…

Twisted graphene based moir\'e heterostructures host a flat band at the magic angles where the kinetic energy of the charge carriers is quenched and interaction effects dominate. This results in emergent phases such as superconductors and…
