Since the first successful synthesis of graphene just over a decade ago, a variety of two-
dimensional (2D) materials (eg, transition metal-dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron-nitride …

The energy band structure of graphene has two inequivalent valleys at the K and K′ points
of the Brillouin zone. The possibility to manipulate this valley degree of freedom defines the …

Graphene's exceptional mechanical properties, including its highest-known stiffness (1 TPa)
and strength (100 GPa), have been exploited for various structural applications. However …

The relevance of the strain-induced Dirac point shift to obtain the appropriate anisotropic
Fermi velocity of strained graphene is demonstrated. Then a critical revision of the available …

Pseudomagnetic fields, which can result from nonuniform strain distributions, have received
much attention in graphene systems due to the possibility of mimicking real magnetic fields …

The coupling of geometrical and electronic properties is a promising venue to engineer
conduction properties in graphene. Confinement added to strain allows for interplay of …

Analysis of the strain-induced pseudomagnetic fields generated in graphene nanobulges
under three different substrate scenarios shows that, in addition to the shape, the graphene …

Strain and defect engineering of graphene can modify the topological features of electronic
states, leading to novel properties such as pseudomagnetism in bubbles and metallicity in …

The electronic properties of a triaxially strained hexagonal graphene flake with either
armchair or zigzag edges are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations and tight …

We report on the possibility to simultaneously generate in graphene a bulk valley-polarized
dissipative transport and a quantum valley Hall effect by combining strain-induced gauge …
