Strain engineering is a promising approach for suppressing the OFF-state conductance in graphene-based devices that arises from Klein tunnelling. In this work, we derive a comprehensive tight-binding Hamiltonian for strained graphene that…

In the last decade, advancements in attosecond spectroscopy have allowed us to study electron motion dynamics in condensed matter. The access to these electron dynamics and, consequently, its control by an ultrafast light field paves the…

We demonstrate a tunneling and rectification behavior in bilayer graphene. A stepped dielectric top gate creates a spatially modulated electric field, which opens the band gap in the graphene and produces an insulating region at the p-n…

We give a concise account on the derivation of hybrid quantum-classical models for stationary electron transport in graphene, in presence of sharp potential steps of barriers. A quantum region (an asymptotically thin strip around the…

In this work we compare two fundamentally different approaches to the electronic transport in deformed graphene: a) the condensed matter approach in which current flow paths are obtained by applying the non-equilibrium Green's function…

Elastic deformations of graphene can significantly change the flow paths and valley polarization of the electric currents. We investigate these phenomena in graphene nanoribbons with localized out-of-plane deformations by means of…

We calculate the heat flux and electron-phonon thermal conductance in a disordered graphene sheet, going beyond a Fermi's Golden rule approach to fully account for the modification of the electron-phonon interaction by disorder. Using the…

We present a formal derivation of a drift-diffusion model for stationary electron transport in graphene, in presence of sharp potential profiles, such as barriers and steps. Assuming the electric potential to have steep variations within a…

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)…

Graphene has been proposed for use in various nanodevice designs, many of which harness emergent quantum properties for device functionality. However, visualization, measurement, and manipulation become non-trivial at nanometer and atomic…

Graphene two-dimensional nature combined with today lithography allows to achieve nanoelectronics devices smaller than the Dirac electrons wavelength. Here we show that in these graphene subwavelength nanodevices the electronic quantum…

Ultracold and quantum degenerate gases held near conductive surfaces can serve as sensitive, high resolution, and wide-area probes of electronic current flow. Previous work has imaged transport around grain boundaries in a gold wire by…

The Seebeck effect consists in the induction of a voltage drop due to the temperature difference in a conductor. In the middle of XIXth century, Lord Kelvin has proposed a relation between the Seebeck coefficient and the derivative of the…

Unimolecular current rectifiers are fundamental building blocks in organic electronics. Rectifying behavior has been identified in numerous organic systems due to electron-hole asymmetries of orbital levels interfaced by a metal electrode.…
