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 …

This article gives a brief overview of the linear and nonlinear optical response of graphene
and its applications. Graphene exhibits unique physical properties. The charge carriers in …

Flatbands have become a cornerstone of contemporary condensed-matter physics and
photonics. In electronics, flatbands entail comparable energy bandwidth and Coulomb …

The ability to manipulate electrons in two-dimensional materials with external electric fields
provides a route to synthetic band engineering. By imposing artificially designed and …

Graphene is nature's thinnest elastic material and displays exceptional mechanical, and
electronic properties,,. Ripples are an intrinsic feature of graphene sheets and are expected …

The observation of quantum conductance oscillations in mesoscopic systems has
traditionally required the confinement of the carriers to a phase space of reduced …

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 …

Electrons transmitted across a ballistic semiconductor junction are expected to undergo
refraction, analogous to light rays across an optical boundary. In graphene, the linear …

The design of high-finesse resonant cavities for electronic waves faces challenges due to
short electron coherence lengths in solids. Complementing previous approaches to confine …

We show that new massless Dirac fermions are generated when a slowly varying periodic
potential is applied to graphene. These quasiparticles, generated near the supercell …
