The low-energy bands of twisted bilayer graphene form Dirac cones with approximate electron-hole symmetry at small rotation angles. These crossings are protected by the emergent symmetries of moir\'e patterns, conferring a topological…
G. Cocco, E. Cadelano, and L. Colombo [Phys. Rev. B 81, 241412(R) (2010)] have suggested that combinations of shear and uniaxial strain can be used to open a band gap in graphene at much lower levels of strain than with the application of…
We investigate the electromechanical coupling in 2d materials. For non-Bravais lattices, we find important corrections to the standard macroscopic strain - microscopic atomic-displacement theory. We put forward a general and systematic…
Here we study the evolution of local electronic properties of a twisted graphene bilayer induced by a strain and a high curvature. The strain and curvature strongly affect the local band structures of the twisted graphene bilayer; the…
We consider the effect of uniaxial strain on ballistic transport in graphene, across single and multiple tunneling barriers. Specifically, we show that applied strain not only shifts the position of the Dirac points in reciprocal space, but…
The effect of strain in graphene is usually modeled by a pseudo-magnetic vector potential which is, however, derived in the limit of small strain. In realistic cases deviations are expected in view of graphene's very high strain tolerance,…
Several numerical studies have shown that the electronic properties of twisted bilayers of graphene (TBLG) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are tunable by strain engineering of the stacking layers. In particular, the flatness of…
The computation of the optical conductivity of strained and deformed graphene is discussed within the framework of quantum field theory in curved spaces. The analytical solutions of the Dirac equation in an arbitrary static background…
We investigate the effects of uniaxial strain on the transport properties of vertical devices made of two twisted graphene layers, which partially overlap each other. We find that because of the different orientations of the two graphene…
We study the effect of the strain on the band structure and the valley-dependent transport property of graphene heterojunctions. It is found that valley-dependent separation of electrons can be achieved by utilizing the strain and on-site…
We solve the Dirac equation, which describes charge massless chiral relativistic carriers in a two-dimensional graphene. We have identified and analysed a novel pseudospin-dependent scattering effect. We compute the tunneling conductance…
The relativistic Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is used for an advanced description of planar graphene electrons in external fields and free (2+1)-space. It is shown that the initial Dirac equation should by based on the usual $(4\times4)$…
We derive electronic tight-binding Hamiltonians for strained graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides based on Wannier transformation of {\it ab initio} density functional theory calculations. Our microscopic…
Based on the symmetry properties of graphene lattice, we derive the effective Hamiltonian of graphene under spatially non-uniform acoustic and optical strains. We show that with the proper selection of the parameters, the obtained…
We model the low energy dynamics of graphene in the continuum in terms of a version of Reduced Quantum Electrodynamics restricting fermions to a (2+1)-dimensional brane, whilst photons remain within the (3+1)-dimensional bulk. For charge…
We present a theory of electronic transport in graphene in the presence of randomly placed adsorbates. Our analysis predicts a marked asymmetry of the conductivity about the Dirac point, as well as a negative weak-localization…
In graphene, long-wavelength deformations that result in elastic shear strain couple to the low-energy Dirac electrons as pseudogauge fields. Using a scalable tight-binding model, we consider analogs to magnetotransport in mesoscopic…
We theoretically investigate electron transport through corrugated graphene ribbons and show how the ribbon curvature leads to an electronic superlattice with a period set by the corrugation wave length. Transport through the ribbon depends…
Among many remarkable qualities of graphene, its electronic properties attract particular interest due to a massless chiral character of charge carriers, which leads to such unusual phenomena as metallic conductivity in the limit of no…
This review presents the state of the art in strain and ripple-induced effects on the electronic and optical properties of graphene. It starts by providing the crystallographic description of mechanical deformations, as well as the…
