A scalable tight-binding model is applied for large-scale quantum transport calculations in clean graphene subject to electrostatic superlattice potentials, including two types of graphene superlattices: moir\'e patterns due to the stacking…

Without our ability to model and manipulate the band structure of semiconducting materials, the modern digital computer would be impractically large, hot, and expensive. In the undergraduate QM curriculum, we studied the effect of spatially…

Superlattices (SLs) in monolayer and bilayer graphene, formed by spatially periodic potential variations, lead to a modified bandstructure with extra finite-energy and zero-energy Dirac fermions with tunable anisotropic velocities. We…

Engineering superlattices (SLs) - which are spatially periodic potential landscapes for electrons - is an emerging approach for the realization of exotic properties, including superconductivity and correlated insulators, in two-dimensional…

Using full potential density functional theory calculations we have investigated the structural and electronic properties of graphene and some other graphene-like materials, viz., monolayer of SiC, GeC, BN, AlN, GaN, ZnO, ZnS and ZnSe. We…

A two-dimensional periodic array of scatterers has been introduced to a single layer of graphene in the presence of an external magnetic field perpendicular to the graphene layer. The eigenvalue equation for such a system has been solved…

Heterostructures of atomically-thin materials have attracted significant interest owing to their ability to host novel electronic properties fundamentally distinct from their constituent layers. In the case of graphene on boron nitride, the…

We extend previous work applying elementary matrix mechanics to one-dimensional periodic arrays (to generate energy bands) to two-dimensional arrays. We generate band structures for the square lattice "2D Kronig-Penney model" (square…

Moir\'e superlattices in graphene supported on various substrates have opened a new avenue to engineer graphene's electronic properties. Yet, the exact crystallographic structure on which their band structure depends remains highly debated.…

We show that bilayer graphene in the presence of a 2D superlattice potential provides a highly tunable setup that can realize a variety of flat band phenomena. We focus on two regimes: (i) topological flat bands with non-zero Chern numbers,…

We review recent work on superlattices in monolayer and bilayer graphene. We highlight the role of the quasiparticle chirality in generating new Dirac fermion modes with tunable anisotropic velocities in one dimensional (1D) superlattices…

We study the band structures and the associated contact points for a phosphorene superlattice made up of two periodic areas. We use the boundary conditions to extract an equation describing the dispersion relation after obtaining the…

Superlattice engineering provides the means to reshape the fabric felt by quasiparticles moving in a material. Here we argue that bandstructure engineering with superlattices can be pushed to the extreme limit by stacking gapped van der…

The interaction between graphene and substrates provides a viable routes to enhance functionality of both materials. Depending on the nature of electronic interaction at the interface, the electron band structure of graphene is strongly…

Nanofabrication research pursues the miniaturization of patterned feature size. In the current state of the art, micron scale areas can be patterned with features down to ~ 30 nm pitch using electron beam lithography. Our work demonstrates…

Electronic correlations in two-dimensional materials play a crucial role in stabilising emergent phases of matter. The realisation of correlation-driven phenomena in graphene has remained a longstanding goal, primarily due to the absence of…

Electronic band gap and transport in quasi-periodic graphene superlattice of double-periodic sequence have been investigated. It is found that such quasi-periodic structure can possess a zero-averaged wave number (zero-$\bar{k}$) gap which…

Motivated by the observation of polarization superlattices in twisted multilayers of hexagonal boron nitride ($h$-BN), we address the possibility of using these heterostructures for tailoring the properties of multilayer graphene by means…

Experiments are finally revealing intricate facts about graphene which go beyond the ideal picture of relativistic Dirac fermions in pristine two dimensional (2D) space, two years after its first isolation. While observations of rippling…

We report an efficient technique to induce gate-tunable two-dimensional superlattices in graphene by the combined action of a back gate and a few-layer graphene patterned bottom gate complementary to existing methods. The patterned gates in…
