We have used scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy to resolve the spatial variation of the density of states of twisted graphene layers on top of a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrate. Owing to the twist a moire pattern…
We study the electronic states of giant single-shell and the recently discovered nested multi-shell carbon fullerenes within the tight-binding approximation. We use two different approaches, one based on iterations and the other on…
Massless Dirac particles on the helicoid are theoretically investigated. With its possible application being helical graphene, we explore how the peculiarities of Dirac particles appear on the curved, screw-symmetric surface. The zweibein…
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…
Fabrication of graphene structures has triggered vast research efforts focused on the properties of two-dimensional systems with massless Dirac fermions. Nevertheless, further progress in exploring this quantum electrodynamics system in…
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…
Two dimensional materials are important for electronics applications. A natural way for electronic structure engineering on two dimensional systems is on-plane chemical functionalization. Based on density functional theory, we study the…
Spin splitting in electronic band structures via antiferromagnetic orders is a new route to control spin-polarized carriers that is available for spintronics applications. Here, we investigated the spin degree of freedom in the electronic…
We study the electronic structure of multilayer graphene using a $\pi$-orbital continuum model with nearest-neighbor intralayer and interlayer tunneling. Using degenerate state perturbation theory, we show that the low-energy electronic…
The effects of a propagating sinusoidal out-of-plane flexural deformation in the electronic properties of a tense membrane of graphene are considered within a non-perturbative approach, leading to an electron-ripple coupling. The…
An electron beam traversing a structured plasmonic field is shown to undergo diffraction with characteristic angular patterns of both elastic and inelastic outgoing electron components. In particular, a plasmonic {\it grating} (e.g., a…
In this paper, motivated by the experimental evidence of rapidly rotating $C_{60}$ molecules in fullerite, we study the low-energy electronic states of rotating fullerene within a continuum model. In this model, the low-energy spectrum is…
The electronic band structure of crystals is generally influenced by the periodic arrangement of their constituent atoms. Specifically, the emerging two-dimensional (2D) layered structures have shown different band structures with respect…
In this review, we present recent works on materials whose common point is the presence of electronic bands of very low dispersion, called "flat bands", which are due to specific atomic order effects without electron interactions. These…
Twisted bilayer graphene with a twist angle of around 1.1{\deg} features a pair of isolated flat electronic bands and forms a strongly correlated electronic platform. Here, we use scanning tunneling microscopy to probe local properties of…
Shell structure in the single particle spectrum of deformed harmonic oscillator potentials when a term proportional to $(\vec L)^2$ is added is analyzed for a large particle number. A scaling law which gives a dividing line between regular…
Quantum confinement endows two-dimensional (2D) layered materials with exceptional physics and novel properties compared to their bulk counterparts. Although certain two- and few-layer configurations of graphene have been realized and…
Electrons most often organize into Fermi-liquid states in which electron-electron interactions play an inessential role. A well known exception is the case of one-dimensional (1D) electron systems (1DES). In 1D the electron Fermi-surface…
We use a recently developed version of the configuration method for open shells to study electronic structure of erbium and fermium atoms. We calculate excitation energies of odd states connected to the even ground state by electric dipole…
The electronic structure of nanocylinder without and with a small perturbation is investigated with the help of calculation of the local density of states. A continuum gauge field-theory model is used for this purpose. In this model, Dirac…
