We investigate the dynamical properties of a strongly disordered micropolar lattice made up of cubic block units. This phononic lattice model supports both transverse and rotational degrees of freedom hence its disordered variant posses an…

How atoms acquire three-dimensional bulk character is one of the fundamental questions in materials science. Before addressing this question, how atomic layers become a bulk crystal might give a hint to the answer. While atomically thin…

Structural distortions in nano-materials can induce dramatic changes in their electronic properties. This situation is well manifested in graphene, a two-dimensional honeycomb structure of carbon atoms with only one atomic layer thickness.…

A graphene antidot lattice, created by a regular perforation of a graphene sheet, can exhibit a considerable band gap required by many electronics devices. However, deviations from perfect periodicity are always present in real experimental…

Graphene, being one-atom thick, is extremely sensitive to the presence of adsorbed atoms and molecules and, more generally, to defects such as vacancies, holes and/or substitutional dopants. This property, apart from being directly usable…

We theoretically investigate the flow of electromagnetic waves in complex honeycomb photonic lattices with local PT symmetries. Such PT structure is introduced via a judicious arrangement of gain or loss across the honeycomb lattice,…

The electronic spectrum of sheets of graphite (plane honeycomb lattice) folded into regular polihedra is studied. A continuum limit valid for sufficiently large molecules and based on a tight binding approximation is derived. It is found…

The potential of graphene to impact the development of the next generation of electronics has renewed interest in its growth and structure. The graphitization of hexagonal SiC surfaces provides a viable alternative for the synthesis of…

We propose that light-matter coupling can be used to realize synthetic lattices. In particular, we consider a one-dimensional chain of exciton-photon sites to create a comb lattice that exhibits a transition from a flat band to a finite…

We explicitly show that the differences, with respect to the appearance of topological phases, between the traditional Haldane model, which utilises a honeycomb lattice structure, to that of the Haldane model imbued onto a brick-wall…

We propose a family of modulated honeycomb lattices, a class of quasiperiodic tilings characterized by the metallic mean. These lattices consist of six distinct hexagonal prototiles with two edge lengths, $\ell$ and $s$, and can be regarded…

We report calculations of the electronic structure of silicene and the stability of its weakly buckled honeycomb lattice in an external electric field oriented perpendicular to the monolayer of Si atoms. We find that the electric field…

The ability to manipulate two-dimensional (2D) electrons with external electric fields provides a route to synthetic band engineering. By imposing artificially designed and spatially periodic superlattice (SL) potentials, 2D electronic…

The discovery of superconductivity and correlated electronic states in the flat bands of twisted bilayer graphene has raised a lot of excitement. Flat bands also occur in multilayer graphene flakes that present rhombohedral (ABC) stacking…

A bipartite lattice with chiral symmetry is known to host zero energy flat bands if the numbers of the two sublattices are different. We demonstrate that this mechanism of producing flat bands can be realized on graphene by introducing…

We present a study of radiation propagation through disordered amplifying honeycomb photonic lattice, where elastic scattering provides feedback for light generation. To explore the interplay of different scattering mechanisms and the…

\textit{Holey Graphene} (HG) is a widely used graphene material for the synthesis of high-purity and highly crystalline materials. In this work, we explore the electronic properties of a periodic distribution of lattice holes, demonstrating…

Semi-Dirac semimetal is a material exhibiting linear band dispersion in one direction and quadratic band dispersion in the orthogonal direction and, therefore, hosts massless and massive fermions at the same point in the momentum space.…

This dissertation presents a systematic theoretical investigation into realizing a condensed matter analogue of the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) in a quasi-planar, 2+1D system. The research establishes a conceptual bridge between the…

The discovery of flat-bands in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene has underscored the potential of moire engineering for correlated states, but such phases are notoriously difficult to realize and highly fragile against perturbations.…
