Nanomechanics of graphene

Y Wei, R Yang - National Science Review, 2019 - academic.oup.com
The super-high strength of single-layer graphene has attracted great interest. In practice,
defects resulting from thermodynamics or introduced by fabrication, naturally or artificially …

Lattice relaxation and energy band modulation in twisted bilayer graphene

NNT Nam, M Koshino - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We theoretically study the lattice relaxation in the twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and its
effect on the electronic band structure. We develop an effective continuum theory to describe …

Magic angle in thermal conductivity of twisted bilayer graphene

Y Cheng, Z Fan, T Zhang, M Nomura, S Volz… - Materials Today …, 2023 - Elsevier
We report a local minimum in thermal conductivity in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) at the
angle of 1.08°, which corresponds to the 'magic angle'in the transition of several other …

Quantum Monte Carlo calculation of the binding energy of bilayer graphene

E Mostaani, ND Drummond, VI Fal'Ko - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
We report diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the interlayer binding energy of
bilayer graphene. We find the binding energies of the AA-and AB-stacked structures at the …

Multiscale lattice relaxation in general twisted trilayer graphenes

N Nakatsuji, T Kawakami, M Koshino - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
We present comprehensive theoretical studies on the lattice relaxation and the electronic
structures in general nonsymmetric twisted trilayer graphenes. By using an effective …

A coarse-grained model for the mechanical behavior of multi-layer graphene

L Ruiz, W **a, Z Meng, S Keten - Carbon, 2015 - Elsevier
Graphene is the strongest and highest weight-to-surface ratio material known, rendering it
an excellent building block for nanocomposites. Multi-layer graphene (MLG) assemblies …

Relaxation of moiré patterns for slightly misaligned identical lattices: graphene on graphite

MM Van Wijk, A Schuring, MI Katsnelson… - 2D Materials, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the effect of atomic relaxation on the structure of moiré patterns in twisted
graphene on graphite and double layer graphene by large scale atomistic simulations. The …

Twistronics: a turning point in 2D quantum materials

Z Hennighausen, S Kar - Electronic Structure, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org

Moiré phonons in twisted bilayer graphene

M Koshino, YW Son - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We study the in-plane acoustic phonons in twisted bilayer graphenes using the effective
continuum approach. We calculate the phonon modes by solving the continuum equation of …
