Since the first successful synthesis of graphene just over a decade ago, a variety of two-
dimensional (2D) materials (eg, transition metal-dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron-nitride …

The analysis of the electronic properties of strained or lattice deformed graphene combines
ideas from classical condensed matter physics, soft matter, and geometrical aspects of …

Abstract 2D hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a wide‐bandgap van der Waals crystal with a
unique combination of properties, including exceptional strength, large oxidation resistance …

The movement of dislocations in a crystal is the key mechanism for plastic deformation in all
materials. Studies of dislocations have focused on three-dimensional materials, and there is …

Graphene is the primitive two-dimensional crystal ever discovered by humankind. It's
composed of just one graphite sheet, yet its unique features are redefining material science …

We performed first-principle calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) to
investigate adsorption of lithium (Li) on graphene with divacancy and Stone–Wales defects …

Dislocations, one of the key entities in materials science, govern the properties of any
crystalline material. Thus, understanding their life cycle, from creation to annihilation via …

The super-high strength of single-layer graphene has attracted great interest. In practice,
defects resulting from thermodynamics or introduced by fabrication, naturally or artificially …

We study the influence of pentagons and heptagons, dislocations, and other topological
defects breaking the sublattice symmetry on the magnetic properties of a graphene lattice. It …

We give an efficient method, combining number-theoretic and combinatorial ideas, to exactly
compute black hole entropy in the framework of loop quantum gravity. Along the way we …
