Electronic properties of disordered graphene antidot lattices

Geometrical effects on the thermoelectric properties of ballistic graphene antidot lattices

The thermoelectric properties of graphene-based antidot lattices are theoretically investigated. A third nearest-neighbor tight-binding model and a fourth nearest-neighbor force constant model are employed to study the electronic and phononic band structures of graphene antidot lattices with circular, rectangular, hexagonal, and triangular antidot shapes. Ballistic transport models are used to ...

Electronic properties of graphene antidot lattices

Graphene antidot lattices constitute a novel class of nano-engineered graphene devices with controllable electronic and optical properties. An antidot lattice consists of a periodic array of holes that causes a band gap to open up around the Fermi level, turning graphene from a semimetal into a semiconductor. We calculate the electronic band structure of graphene antidot lattices using three nu...

An Investigation of the Geometrical Effects on the Thermal Conductivity of Graphene Antidot Lattices

In this work we investigate the thermal conductivity of graphene-based antidot lattices. A third nearest-neighbor tight-binding model and a forth nearest-neighbor force constant model are employed to study the electronic and phononic band structures of graphene-based antidot lattices. Ballistic transport models are used to evaluate the electronic and the thermal conductivities. Methods to reduc...

Polaronic signatures and spectral properties of graphene antidot lattices

We explore the consequences of electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling in graphene antidot lattices (graphene nanomeshes), i.e., triangular superlattices of circular holes (antidots) in a graphene sheet. They display a direct band gap whose magnitude can be controlled via the antidot size and density. The relevant coupling mechanism in these semiconducting counterparts of graphene is the modulation of ...
