متن کاملInterplay between symmetry and spin-orbit coupling on graphene nanoribbons
We study the electronic structure of chiral and achiral graphene nanoribbons with symmetric edges, including curvature and spin-orbit effects. Curved ribbons show spin-split bands, whereas flat ribbons present spin-degenerate bands. We show that this effect is due to the breaking of spatial inversion symmetry in curved graphene nanoribbons, while flat ribbons with symmetric edges possess an inv...
متن کاملSymmetry Breaking in Few Layer Graphene Films
Recently, it was demonstrated that the quasiparticle dynamics, the layer-dependent charge and potential, and the c-axis screening coefficient could be extracted from measurements of the spectral function of few layer graphene films grown epitaxially on SiC using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). In this article we review these findings, and present detailed methodology for extr...
متن کاملSymmetry-Breaking Supercollisions in Landau-Quantized Graphene.
Recent pump-probe experiments performed on graphene in a perpendicular magnetic field have revealed carrier relaxation times ranging from picoseconds to nanoseconds depending on the quality of the sample. To explain this surprising behavior, we propose a novel symmetry-breaking defect-assisted relaxation channel. This enables scattering of electrons with single out-of-plane phonons, which drast...
متن کاملSymmetry breaking and low energy conformational fluctuations in amorphous graphene
Recently, the prospects for amorphous phases of graphene (a-g) have been explored computationally. Initial models were flat, and contained odd-member rings, while maintaining threefold coordination and sp bonding. Upon relaxation, puckering occurs, and may be traced to the existence of pentagons, in analogy with the situation for fullerenes. In this work, we systematically explore the inherent ...
