Two-dimensional alloys of carbon and nitrogen represent an urgent interest due to prospective applications in nanomechanical and optoelectronic devices. Stability of these chemical structures must be understood as a function of their…
We built graphene nanoflakes doped or not with $C$ atoms in the $sp^3$ hybridization or with $Si$ atoms. These nanoflakes are isolated, i.e. are not connected to any object (substrate or junction). We used a modified tight binding method to…
Graphene and graphene-based materials exhibit exceptional optical and electrical properties with great promise for novel applications in light detection. However, several challenges prevent the full exploitation of these properties in…
Ballistic semiconductor structures have allowed the realization of optics-like phenomena in electronics, including magnetic focusing and lensing. An extension that appears unique to graphene is to use both n and p carrier types to create…
Graphene Oxide (GO) remains a perennial chemical enigma despite its utility in preparing graphene and its functionalization. Epoxides and tertiary alcohols are construed as primary functional groups, but the structural motifs, spectra, and…
Density functional calculations are employed to study the molecular dissociation of hydrogen on graphene, the diffusion of chemisorbed atomic species, and the electronic properties of the resulting hydrogen on graphene system. Our results…
We study proximity effects in clean nanoscale superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (S$\mid$N$\mid$S) graphene heterostructures using a self-consistent numerical solution to the continuum Dirac Bogoliubov-de Gennes (DBdG) equations. We…
The influence of attractive boron impurities, embedded on a graphene sheet, on the phase diagrams of $^4$He and H$_2$ adsorbed on top was studied using the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The doping of graphene was made by distributing the…
Substrate plays a crucial role in determining transport and low frequency noise behavior of graphene field effect devices. Typically, heavily dope Si/SiO$_2$ substrate is used to fabricate these devices for efficient gating.…
While graphene is a semi-metal, a recently synthesized hydrogenated graphene called graphane, is an insulator. We have probed the transformation of graphene upon hydrogenation to graphane within the framework of density functional theory.…
The problem of electrostatic screening of a charged line by undoped or weakly doped graphene is treated beyond the linear-response theory. The induced electron density is found to be approximately doping independent, n(x)~(log x)^2/x^2, at…
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) attracts attention as a high efficient and low cost photocatalyst for hydrogen production, but suffers from low conductance and high recombination rate of photo-generated charge carriers. In this work, we…
Using micro-Raman spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy, we study the relationship between structural distortion and electrical hole doping of graphene on a silicon dioxide substrate. The observed upshift of the Raman G band…
The existence of superconductivity (SC) in graphene appears to be established in both twisted and non-twisted multilayers. However, whether their building block, single-layer graphene (SLG), can also host SC remains an open question.…
Finding an effective and controllable way to create a sizable energy gap in graphene-based systems has been a challenging topic of intensive research. We propose that the hybrid of boron nitride and graphene (h-BNC) at low BN doping serves…
Graphene is known as the strongest 2D material in nature, yet we show that moderate charge doping of either electrons or holes can further enhance its ideal strength by up to ~17%, based on first principles calculations. This unusual…
Doped graphene sheets are pseudochiral two-dimensional Fermi liquids with abnormal electron-electron interaction physics. We address graphene's Fermi liquid properties quantitatively using a microscopic random-phase-approximation theory and…
Graphene has exhibited a wealth of fascinating properties, but is also known not to be a superconductor. Remarkably, we show that graphene can be made a conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superconductor by the combined effect of charge…
Graphene is an attractive electrode material to contact nanostructures down to the molecular scale since it can be gated electrostatically. Gating can be used to control the doping and the energy level alignment in the nanojunction, thereby…
Graphynes offer a chemically heterogeneous $sp/sp^{2}$ carbon framework with distinct electronic regimes and site-selective reactivity. Here, Density Functional Theory and Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulations are combined to evaluate…
