Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are waves that remain localized even though they
coexist with a continuous spectrum of radiating waves that can carry energy away. Their very …

We study the confinement of Dirac fermions in armchair graphene nanoribbons by means of
electrostatic quantum dots. We provide an analytically feasible model where some bound …

We study bound states embedded into the continuum of edge states in two-dimensional
topological insulators. These states emerge in the presence of a short-range potential of a …

We investigate the coupling of spin and thermal currents as a means to raise the
thermoelectric efficiency of nanoscale graphene devices. We consider nanostructures …

Confining Dirac fermions in graphene using electrostatic fields is a challenging task. Electric
quantum dots created by a scanning tunneling microscope tip can trap zero-energy …

In a wave resonant scattering process the interference of the continuous scattering
amplitude with a discrete resonant state, both of the same undulatory nature, gives rise to a …

The electrocaloric (EC) effect is the change in temperature and entropy of a material driven
by the application of an electric field. Our tight-binding calculations linked to Fermi statistics …

Based on the well known nearest-neighbor tight-binding approximation for graphene, an
exact expression for the electronic conductance across a zigzag nanoribbon/armchair …

Vacancies in graphene have been proposed to give rise to π-like magnetism in carbon
materials, a conjecture which has been supported by recent experimental evidence. A key …

In this work, we study the bound states in the continuum (BICs) in a system formed by a triple
quantum dot array embedded between two one-dimensional topological superconductors …
