چکیده

We study the effects of disorder in the electronic properties of graphene multilayers, with special focus on the bilayer and the infinite stack. At low energies and long wavelengths, the electronic self-energies and density of states exhibit behavior with divergences near half filling. As a consequence, the spectral functions and the conductivities acquire anomalous properties. In particular, we show that the quasiparticle decay rate has a minimum as a function of energy, there is a universal minimum value for the in-plane conductivity of order e(2)/h per plane and, unexpectedly, the c-axis conductivity is enhanced by disorder at low doping, leading to an enormous conductivity anisotropy at low temperatures.

Electronic Properties of Multilayer Graphene

Abstract. In this chapter, we study the electronic structure of arbitrarily stacked multilayer graphene in the absence or presence of magnetic field. The energy band structure and the Landau level spectrum are obtained using a π-orbital continuum model with nearest-neighbor intralayer and interlayer tunneling terms. Using degenerate state perturbation theory, we analyze the low-energy effective...

Magneto-optical fingerprints of distinct graphene multilayers using the giant infrared Kerr effect

The remarkable electronic properties of graphene strongly depend on the thickness and geometry of graphene stacks. This wide range of electronic tunability is of fundamental interest and has many applications in newly proposed devices. Using the mid-infrared, magneto-optical Kerr effect, we detect and identify over 18 interband cyclotron resonances (CR) that are associated with ABA and ABC stac...

Electronic properties of hydrogenated porous Graphene based nanoribbons: A density functional theory study

The structural and electronic properties of the hydrogenated porous graphene nanoribbons were studied by using density functional theory calculations. The results show that the hydrogenated porous graphene nanoribbons are energetically stable. The effects of ribbon type and ribbon width on the electronic properties of these nanoribbons were investigated. It was found that both armchair and zigz...

Electronic Transmission Wave Function of Disordered Graphene by Direct Method and Green's Function Method

We describe how to obtain electronic transport properties of disordered graphene, including the tight binding model and nearest neighbor hopping. We present a new method for computing, electronic transport wave function and Greens function of the disordered Graphene. In this method, based on the small rectangular approximation, break up the potential barriers in to small parts. Then using the f...
