A recent experimental study showed that an induced folded flap of graphene can spontaneously drive itself its tearing and peeling off a substrate, thus producing long, micrometer sized, regular trapezoidal-shaped folded graphene…

In spite of years of intense research, graphene continues to produce surprising results. Recently, it was experimentally observed that under certain conditions graphene can self-drive its tearing and peeling from substrates. This process…

The folding of monolayer graphene leads to new layered systems, termed twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), generally displaying a certain interlayer rotation away from crystallographic alignment. We here present an atomic force microscopy study…

Graphene is a truly two-dimensional atomic crystal with exceptional electronic and mechanical properties. Whereas conventional bulk and thin-film materials have been studied extensively, the key mechanical properties of graphene, such as…

We investigate bilayers of nanoporous graphene (NPG), laterally bonded carbon nanoribbons, and graphene. The electronic and transport properties are explored as a function of the interlayer twist angle using an atomistic tight-binding model…

We analyze the elastic properties, structural effects, and low-energy physics of a sheared nanoribbon placed on top of graphene, which creates a gradually changing moire pattern. By means of a classical elastic model we derive the strains…

The lifting, peeling and exfoliation of physisorbed ribbons (or flakes) of 2D material such as graphene off a solid surface are common and important manoeuvres in nanoscience. The feature that makes this case peculiar is the structural…

The ability to manufacture tailored graphene nanostructures is a key factor to fully exploit its enormous technological potential. We have investigated nanostructures created in graphene by swift heavy ion induced folding. For our…

Change of the bonding environment at the free edges of graphene monolayer leads to excess edge energy and edge force, depending on the edge morphology (zigzag or armchair). By using a reactive empirical bond-order potential and atomistic…

The geometric, electronic and magnetic properties of strained graphene nanoribbons were investigated using spin polarized calculations within the framework of density functional theory. Cases of compressive stress along the longer axis of a…

Stacking two-dimensional layered materials such as graphene and transitional metal dichalcogenides with nonzero interlayer twist angles has recently become attractive because of the emergence of novel physical properties. Stacking of…

Since graphene nanoribbons are thin and flimsy, they need support. Support gives firm ground for applications, and adhesion holds ribbons flat, although not necessarily straight: ribbons with high aspect ratio are prone to bend. The effects…

Twisted bilayer graphene exhibits isolated, relatively flat electronic bands near charge neutrality when the interlayer rotation is tuned to specific magic angles. These small misalignments, typically below 1.1{\deg}, result in long-period…

We study the atomic structure of twisted bilayer graphene, with very small mismatch angles ($\theta \sim 0.28^0$), a topic of intense recent interest. We use simulations, in which we combine a recently presented semi-empirical potential for…

Van der Waals heterostructures obtained by artificially stacking two-dimensional crystals represent the frontier of material engineering, demonstrating properties superior to those of the starting materials. Fine control of the interlayer…

The electronic properties of bilayer graphene strongly depend on relative orientation of the two atomic lattices. Whereas Bernal-stacked graphene is most commonly studied, a rotational mismatch between layers opens up a whole new field of…

We investigate the electronic transport properties of a folded graphene nanoribbon with monolayer nanoribbon contacts. We consider two possible foldings: either the nanoribbon can be folded onto itself in the shape of a hairpin with the…

We investigate the bandwidth compression due to out of plane pressure of the moire flatbands near charge neutrality in twisted bilayer graphene for a continuous range of small rotation angles of up to $\sim2.5^{\circ}$. The flatband…

Using a first principles density functional electronic structure method, we study the energy gaps and magnetism in bilayer graphene nanoribbons as a function of the ribbon width and the strength of an external electric field between the…

We demonstrate a finite twist-angle stabilization mechanism in lattice-mismatched 2D heterobilayers, which results from the geometric alignment between the flake edges and its moire pattern. Using atomistic simulations of graphene on…
