Measurements and calculations have shown significant disagreement regarding the sign and variations of the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of graphene $\alpha(T)$. Here we report dedicated Raman scattering experiments conducted for…
The synthesis of wafer-scale two-dimensional amorphous carbon monolayers has been recently demonstrated. This material presents useful properties when integrated as coating of metals, semiconductors or magnetic materials, such as enabling…
The thermal stability of graphene/graphane nanoribbons (GGNRs) is investigated using density functional theory. It is found that the energy barriers for the diffusion of hydrogen atoms on the zigzag and armchair interfaces of GGNRs are 2.86…
Theoretical progress in graphene physics has largely relied on the application of a simple nearest-neighbor tight-binding model capable of predicting many of the electronic properties of this material. However, important features that…
We consider a discrete model of a graphene sheet with atomic interactions governed by a harmonic approximation of the 2nd-generation Brenner potential that depends on bond lengths, bond angles, and two types of dihedral angles. A continuum…
Single-layer carbon, or graphene, demonstrates amazing transport properties, such as the minimum conductivity near $\frac{4e^2}{h}$ independent of shapes and mobility of samples. This indicates there exist some unusual effects due to…
We study the static and dynamic structure of thermally fluctuating elastic thin sheets by investigating the overdamped dynamic F\"oppl-von K\'arm\'an equation, in which the F\"oppl-von K\'arm\'an equation from elasticity theory is driven by…
Graphene has become in last decades a paradigmatic example of two-dimensional and so-called van-der-Waals layered materials, showing large anisotropy in their physical properties. Here we study the elastic properties and mechanical…
Owing to its peculiar energy dispersion, the quantum capacitance property of graphene can be exploited in a two-dimensional layered capacitor configuration. Using graphene and boron nitride respectively as the electrodes and the insulating…
The atomic structure of nanomaterials is often studied using transmission electron microscopy. In addition to image formation, the energetic electrons may also cause damage while impinging on the sample. In a good conductor such as graphene…
Graphene, a two-dimensional crystal made of carbon atoms, provides a new and unexpected bridge between low and high-energy physics. The field has evolved very fast and very good reviews are already available in the literature. Graphene…

Thermal decomposition of silicon carbide is a promising approach for the fabrication of graphene. However, the atomistic growth mechanism of graphene remains unclear. This paper describes the development of a new charge-transfer interatomic…
The response of electrons under linearly polarized light in Dirac materials as borophene or graphene is analyzed in a continuous wave regime for an arbitrary intense field. Using a rotation and a time-dependent phase transformation, the…
Electrons and holes in clean, charge-neutral graphene behave like a strongly coupled relativistic liquid. The thermo-electric transport properties of the interacting Dirac quasiparticles are rather special, being constrained by an emergent…
We consider graphene sheet suspended above a conducting surface. Treating graphene as an elastic membrane subjected to Casimir force, we study its stability against attachment to the conductor. There exists a critical elevation at the edges…
Emergence of $\pi$-magnetism in open-shell nanographenes has been theoretically predicted decades ago but their experimental characterization was elusive due to the strong chemical reactivity that makes their synthesis and stabilization…
This paper is devoted to development of perturbation theory for studying the properties of graphene sheet of finite size, at nonzero temperature and chemical potential. The perturbation theory is based on the tight-binding Hamiltonian and…
Beltrami-shaped graphene sheets have been recently proposed as analogs of curved spacetimes with Hawking-Unruh effects detected through typical condensed matter measurements involving scanning tunneling microscopes and spectroscopy.…
We have determined the equilibrium shape of graphene domains grown on Ni(111) via carbon segregation at 925{\deg}C. In situ, spatially-resolved electron diffraction measurements were used to determine the crystallographic orientation of the…
