Graphene, the first truly two-dimensional (one atom thin) material, possesses strongly nonlinear electrodynamic and optical properties. At low (microwave, terahertz) frequencies this results from the unique electronic property of graphene -…

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…

In this document we explore graphene, a two-dimensional material with remarkable properties. We center our discussion around its electronic characteristics and their applications. We begin by giving a simple electronic model which will then…

Graphene has a multitude of striking properties that make it an exceedingly attractive material for various applications, many of which will emerge over the next decade. However, one of the most promising applications lie in exploiting its…

We formulate a nonlinear continuum model of a graphene sheet supported by a flat rigid substrate. The sheet is parallel to the substrate and loaded on a pair of opposite edges. A typical cross-section of the sheet is modeled as an elastica.…

We study the existence and topological stability of Fermi points in a graphene layer and stacks with many layers. We show that the discrete symmetries (spacetime inversion) stabilize the Fermi points in monolayer, bilayer and multilayer…

Graphene may be a fascinating material but at this time there exists no experimental or theoretical evidence that it can improve performance of practical nonlinear optical devices.

Graphene [1] and its bilayer have generated tremendous excitement in the physics community due to their unique electronic properties [2]. The intrinsic physics of these materials, however, is partially masked by disorder, which can arise…

We have studied theoretically, using density functional theory, several materials properties when going from one C layer in graphene to two and three g raphene layers and on to graphite. The properties we have focused on are the elastic…

2D crystals, such as graphene, exhibit the higher strength and stiffness of any other known man-made or natural material. So far, this assertion has been primarily based on modelling predictions and on bending experiments in combination…

We demonstrate high-resolution modification of suspended multi-layer graphene sheets by controlled exposure to the focused electron beam of a transmission electron microscope. We show that this technique can be used to realize, on…

The amount of rippling in graphene sheets is related to the interactions with the substrate or with the suspending structure. Here, we report on an irreversibility in the response to forces that act on suspended graphene sheets. This may…

Graphene is an interesting debated topic between scientists because of its unique properties such as tunable conductivity. Graphene conductivity can be varied by either electrostatic or magnetostatic gating or via chemical doping, which…

Graphite is a well-studied material with known electronic and optical properties. Graphene, on the other hand, which is just one layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, has been studied theoretically for quite some time but…

This paper concerns a question that frequently occurs in various applications: Is any diffusive coupling of stable linear systems, also stable? Although it has been known for a long time that this is not the case, we shall identify a…

Deviations from the perfect atomic arrangements in crystals play an important role in affecting their properties. Similarly, diffusion of such deviations is behind many microstructural changes in solids. However, observation of point defect…

We analyze elastic deformations of graphene sheets which lead to effective gauge fields acting on the charge carriers. Corrugations in the substrate induce stresses, which, in turn, can give rise to mechanical instabilities and the…

Pristine monocrystalline graphene is claimed to be the strongest material known with remarkable mechanical and electrical properties. However, graphene made with scalable fabrication techniques is polycrystalline and contains inherent…

Graphene plasmons have recently attracted a great deal of attention because of their tunability, long lifetime, and high degree of field confinement in the vertical direction. Nearby metal gates have been shown to modify the graphene…

The properties of suspended graphene are currently attracting enormous interest, but the small size of available samples and the difficulties in making them severely restrict the number of experimental techniques that can be used to study…
