This review presents the state of the art in strain and ripple-induced effects on the electronic
and optical properties of graphene. It starts by providing the crystallographic description of …

A wide range of materials, like d-wave superconductors, graphene, and topological
insulators, share a fundamental similarity: their low-energy fermionic excitations behave as …

Dirac points are central to many phenomena in condensed-matter physics, from massless
electrons in graphene to the emergence of conducting edge states in topological insulators …

Inspired by the great development of graphene, more and more research has been
conducted to seek new two-dimensional (2D) materials with Dirac cones. Although 2D Dirac …

An introduction to the transport properties of graphene combining experimental results and
theoretical analysis is presented. In the theoretical description simple intuitive models are …

The basic aspects of electrons in graphene (two-dimensional graphite) exposed to a strong
perpendicular magnetic field are reviewed. One of its most salient features is the relativistic …

Carbon is one of the most intriguing elements in the Periodic Table. It forms many allotropes,
some known from ancient times (diamond and graphite) and some discovered 10-20 years …

We develop a method to predict the existence of edge states in graphene ribbons for a large
class of boundaries. This approach is based on the bulk-edge correspondence between the …

We analyze the effect of tensional strain in the electronic structure of graphene. In the
absence of electron-electron interactions, within linear elasticity theory, and a tight-binding …

We present first-principles calculations of electronic properties of graphene under uniaxial
and isotropic strains, respectively. The semimetallic nature is shown to persist up to a very …
