Raman spectrum of graphene and graphene layers.
Graphene is the two-dimensional building block for carbon allotropes of every other dimensionality. We show that its electronic structure is captured in its Raman spectrum that clearly evolves with the number of layers. The D peak second order changes in shape, width, and position for an increasing number of layers, reflecting the change in the electron bands via a double resonant Raman process...
متن کاملElectronic properties of twisted armchair graphene nanoribbons
We study the effect of twist on the electronic structure of H-terminated armchair graphene nanoribbons, for both relaxed and unrelaxed unit cell size. We investigate the band gap change as a function of the twist angle for different ribbon widths. In the case of unrelaxed unit cell size, the band gap closes for smaller twist angles as opposed to relaxed unit cell size. We calculate strain energ...
متن کاملObservation of Van Hove singularities in twisted graphene layers
Electronic instabilities at the crossing of the Fermi energy with a Van Hove singularity1 in the density of states often lead to new phases of matter such as superconductivity2,3, magnetism4 or density waves5. However, in most materials this condition is difficult to control. In the case of single-layer graphene, the singularity is too far from the Fermi energy6 and hence difficult to reach wit...
متن کاملSingle-layer behavior and its breakdown in twisted graphene layers.
We report high magnetic field scanning tunneling microscopy and Landau level spectroscopy of twisted graphene layers grown by chemical vapor deposition. For twist angles exceeding ~3° the low energy carriers exhibit Landau level spectra characteristic of massless Dirac fermions. Above 20° the layers effectively decouple and the electronic properties are indistinguishable from those in single-la...
متن کاملMöbius and twisted graphene nanoribbons: stability, geometry, and electronic properties.
Results of classical force field geometry optimizations for twisted graphene nanoribbons with a number of twists N(t) varying from 0 to 7 (the case N(t)=1 corresponds to a half-twist Möbius nanoribbon) are presented in this work. Their structural stability was investigated using the Brenner reactive force field. The best classical molecular geometries were used as input for semiempirical calcul...
