In this paper we present a paradigmatic tight-binding model for single-layer as well as
multilayered semiconducting MoS 2 and similar transition metal dichalcogenides. We show …

Magnetically-doped graphene systems are potential candidates for application in future
spintronic devices. A key step is to understand the pairwise interactions between magnetic …

Graphene's remarkable properties are inherent to its two-dimensional honeycomb lattice
structure. Its low dimensionality, which makes it possible to rearrange the atoms by applying …

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 …

The creation of pseudo-magnetic fields in strained graphene has emerged as a promising

We investigate the organized formation of strain, ripples, and suspended features in
macroscopic graphene sheets transferred onto corrugated substrates made of an ordered …

The discovery of correlated phases in twisted moiré superlattices accelerated the search for
low-dimensional materials with exotic properties. A promising approach uses engineered …

We revisit the theory of the pseudo magnetic field as induced by strain in graphene using the
tight-binding approach. A systematic expansion of the hop** parameter and the …

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 …
