چکیده
Angle-resolved photoemission and x-ray diffraction experiments show that multilayer epitaxial graphene grown on the SiC(0001) surface is a new form of carbon that is composed of effectively isolated graphene sheets. The unique rotational stacking of these films causes adjacent graphene layers to electronically decouple leading to a set of nearly independent linearly dispersing bands (Dirac cones) at the graphene K point. Each cone corresponds to an individual macroscale graphene sheet in a multilayer stack where AB-stacked sheets can be considered as low density faults.

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...

Abstract: In this study, using density functional theory and the SIESTA computationalcode, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of the armchair graphenenanoribbons and the armchair boron nitride nanoribbons of width 25 in the presence of atransverse external electric field. We have observed that in the absence of the electricfield, these structures are se...

In this paper, a compact plasmonic metamaterial absorber for terahertz frequencies is proposed and simulated. The absorber is based on metamaterial graphene structures, and benefits from dynamically controllable properties of graphene. Through patterning graphene layers, plasmonic resonances are tailored to provide a dual band as well as an improved bandwidth absorption. Unit cell of the design...
متن کاملDirect observation of electrically induced Pauli paramagnetism in single-layer graphene using ESR spectroscopy
Graphene has been actively investigated as an electronic material owing to many excellent physical properties, such as high charge mobility and quantum Hall effect, due to the characteristics of a linear band structure and an ideal two-dimensional electron system. However, the correlations between the transport characteristics and the spin states of charge carriers or atomic vacancies in graphe...
متن کاملTunable Wideband Graphene based Filters in THz Band
In this paper, a procedure for analyzing and designing of tunable wideband band-pass and band-stop graphene based filters in the terahertz band is proposed. These planar wideband plasmonic filters are unique in their kind. With this procedure, it is possible to design filters with the desired functional characteristics in the form of the similar quarter-wavelength resonance stubs. The discontin...
