Topological defects can affect the physical properties of graphene in unexpected ways. Harnessing their influence may lead to enhanced control of both material strength and electrical properties. Here we present a new class of topological…
Topological defects in graphene, dislocations and grain boundaries, are still not well understood despites the considerable number of experimental observations. We introduce a general approach for constructing dislocations in graphene…
We use our theory of periodized discrete elasticity to characterize defects in graphene as the cores of dislocations or groups of dislocations. Earlier numerical implementations of the theory predicted some of the simpler defect groupings…
Most materials in available macroscopic quantities are polycrystalline. Graphene, a recently discovered two-dimensional form of carbon with strong potential for replacing silicon in future electronics, is no exception. There is growing…
Properties of phonons - quanta of the crystal lattice vibrations - in graphene have attracted strong attention of the physics and engineering communities. Acoustic phonons are the main heat carriers in graphene near room temperature while…
The structure, and electrical, mechanical and optical properties of few-layer graphene (FLG) synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on a Ni coated substrate were studied. Atomic resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM)…
One of the salient features of graphene is the very high carrier mobility that implies tremendous potential for use in electronic devices. Unfortunately, transport measurements find the expected high mobility only in freely suspended…
The physical processes occurring in the presence of disorder: point defects, grain boundaries, etc. may have detrimental effects on the electronic properties of graphene. Here we present an approach to reveal the grain structure of graphene…
Contrary to most materials, graphene exhibits a negative thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), i.e it contracts when heated. This contraction is due to the thermal excitation of low energy out-of-plane vibration modes. These flexural modes…
We theoretically study the transport properties of both monolayer and bilayer graphene in the presence of electron-hole puddles induced by charged impurities which are invariably present in the graphene environment. We calculate the…
The discovery of unusual heat conduction properties of graphene has led to a surge of theoretical and experimental studies of phonon transport in two-dimensional material systems. The rapidly developing graphene thermal field spans from…
Graphene is an attractive material for microelectronics applications, given such favourable electrical characteristics as high mobility, high operating frequency, and good stability. If graphene is to be implemented in electronic devices on…
Local curvature, or bending, of a graphene sheet is known to increase the chemical reactivity presenting an opportunity for templated chemical functionalization. Using first principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT)…
Chemical functionalization has proven to be a promising means of tailoring the unique properties of graphene. For example, hydrogenation can yield a variety of interesting effects, including a metal-insulator transition or the formation of…
The electronic and vibrational properties of 2D materials are dramatically altered by the formation of a moir\'e superlattice. The lowest-energy phonon modes of the superlattice are two acoustic branches (called phasons) that describe the…
Producing and manipulating graphene on fab-compatible scale, while maintaining its remarkable carrier mobility, is key to finalize its technological application. We show that a large-scale approach (chemical vapor deposition on Cu followed…
Graphene hosts a unique electron system in which electron-phonon scattering is extremely weak but electron-electron collisions are sufficiently frequent to provide local equilibrium above liquid nitrogen temperature. Under these conditions,…
Classical thermal transport theories that preserve rotational symmetry, predict strong anharmonic scattering of out-of-plane lattice vibrational modes called flexural phonons in flat suspended graphene sheets. Such strong scattering…
We study the effect of extended charge defects in electronic transport properties of graphene. Extended defects are ubiquitous in chemically and epitaxially grown graphene samples due to internal strains associated with the lattice…
We investigate the thermal conductivity of suspended graphene as a function of the density of defects, ND, introduced in a controllable way. Graphene layers are synthesized using chemical vapor deposition, transferred onto a transmission…
