We agree that a gap was induced in the graphene samples of Zhou and colleagues ... but instead the modulation of its lateral structure (in this case by edge and terrace defects), a more promising ...

said Kocabas. Professor Sir Kostya Novoselov was also involved in the research: “This is a beautiful effect, intrinsically routed in the unique band structure of graphene. It is really exciting to see ...

Their study is published in Physical Review Letters. Graphene's unique band structure gives rise to its special electronic properties. "Graphene is renowned for having a band structure with a ...

Discover the possibilities of twisted bilayer graphene as a replacement for silicon in integrated circuits and it's potential.

Twisting two sheets of graphene at a 1.1° angle, dubbed the "magic angle," creates a "flat band" structure, meaning the electrons across a range of momentum values all have roughly the same energy.

(Image: Empa) Graphene nanoribbons are narrow strips of graphene ... Nanoribbons can display metallic, semiconducting, or insulating behavior, depending on their composition, width, and edge structure ...
