We analyze the bound-state spectra of mass-profile quantum dots in graphene, a system at current experimental reach. Homogeneous perpendicular magnetic fields are also considered which result in breaking the valley degeneracy. The spectra…

Electrostatically confined quantum dots in bilayer graphene have shown potential as building blocks for quantum technologies. To operate the dots, e.g., as qubits, a precise understanding and control of the confined states and their…

We theoretically study the electronic structure of small-angle twisted bilayer graphene with a large potential asymmetry between the top and bottom layers. We show that the emergent helical states known to appear on the triangular AB-BA…

Recently discovered valley photonic crystals (VPCs) mimic many of the unusual properties of two-dimensional gapped valleytronic materials such as bilayer graphene or MoS2. Of the utmost interest to optical communications is their ability to…

We study edge-states in graphene systems where a bulk energy gap is opened by inversion symmetry breaking. We find that the edge-bands dispersion can be controlled by potentials applied on the boundary with unit cell length scale. Under…

We develop a general theoretical framework based on $Z$-classification to count the number of topological bound states at a junction of chiral-symmetric one-dimensional systems. The formulation applies to general multiway junctions composed…

We model the quantum Hall effect in heterostructures made of two gapped graphene stripes with different gaps, $\Delta_1$ and $\Delta_2$. We consider two main situations, $\Delta_1=0,\Delta_2\neq0$ and $\Delta_1=-\Delta_2$. They are…

Recently, multilayer graphene systems have attracted significant attention due to the discovery of a variety of intriguing phases, particularly quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) states. In rhombohedral pentalayer graphene (RPG), both QAH states…

Topological optical states exhibit unique immunity to defects and the ability to propagate without losses rendering them ideal for photonic applications.A powerful class of such states is based on time-reversal symmetry breaking of the…

We study the effect of a magnetic field on topological chiral channels of bilayer graphene at electric domain walls. The persistence of chiral edge states is attributed to the difference in valley Chern number in the regions of opposite…
