Tight- binding study of electronic band structure of anisotropic honeycomb lattice
The two-dimensional structure of graphene, consisting of an isotropic hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms, shows fascinating electronic properties, such as a gapless energy band and Dirac fermion behavior of electrons at fermi surface. Anisotropy can be induced in this structure by electrochemical pressure. In this article, by using tight-binding method, we review anisotropy effects in the elect...
متن کاملSynthetic electric fields and phonon damping in carbon nanotubes and graphene
Within the Dirac theory of the electronic properties of graphene, smoothly varying lattice strain affects the Dirac carriers through a synthetic gauge field. For static lattice strain, the gauge field induces a synthetic magnetic field which is known to suppress weak localization corrections by a dynamical breaking of timereversal symmetry. When the lattice strain is time dependent, as in conne...
متن کاملNano-scale strain engineering of graphene and graphene-based devices
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. In particular, strained graphene can result in both charging effects and pseudo-magnetic fields, so that controlled strain on a perfect graphene lattice can ...
متن کاملObservation of Landau levels in potassium-intercalated graphite under a zero magnetic field
The charge carriers in graphene are massless Dirac fermions and exhibit a relativistic Landau-level quantization in a magnetic field. Recently, it has been reported that, without any external magnetic field, quantized energy levels have been also observed from strained graphene nanobubbles on a platinum surface, which were attributed to the Landau levels of massless Dirac fermions in graphene f...
