Manipulation of Dirac cones in intercalated epitaxial graphene
Graphene is an intriguing material in view of its unique Dirac quasi-particles, and the manipulation of its electronic structure is important in material design and applications. Here, we theoretically investigate the electronic band structure of epitaxial graphene on SiC with intercalation of rare earth metal ions (e.g., Yb and Dy) using first-principles calculations. The intercalation can be ...
متن کاملSelf-Assembled Si(111) Surface States: 2D Dirac Material for THz Plasmonics.
Graphene, the first discovered 2D Dirac material, has had a profound impact on science and technology. In the last decade, we have witnessed huge advances in graphene related fundamental and applied research. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we propose a new 2D Dirac band on the Si(111) surface with 1/3 monolayer halogen coverage. The sp(3) dangling bonds form a honeycomb superstru...
متن کاملPlasmon-induced doping of graphene.
A metallic nanoantenna, under resonant illumination, injects nonequilibrium hot electrons into a nearby graphene structure, effectively doping the material. A prominent change in carrier density was observed for a plasmonic antenna-patterned graphene sheet following laser excitation, shifting the Dirac point, as determined from the gate-controlled transport characteristic. The effect is due to ...
متن کاملElectron interactions and gap opening in graphene superlattices.
We develop a theory of interaction effects in graphene superlattices, where tunable superlattice periodicity can be used as a knob to control the gap at the Dirac point. Applied to graphene on hexa-boron-nitride (G/h-BN), our theory predicts substantial many-body enhancement of this gap. Tunable by the moiré superlattice periodicity, a few orders of magnitude enhancement is reachable under opti...
متن کاملDirac-like plasmons in honeycomb lattices of metallic nanoparticles.
We consider a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of metallic nanoparticles, each supporting a localized surface plasmon, and study the quantum properties of the collective plasmons resulting from the near-field dipolar interaction between the nanoparticles. We analytically investigate the dispersion, the effective Hamiltonian, and the eigenstates of the collective plasmons for an arbitrary orien...
