Van der Waals heterostructures display numerous unique electronic properties. Nonlocal
measurements, wherein a voltage is measured at contacts placed far away from the …

The creation of pseudo-magnetic fields in strained graphene has emerged as a promising
route to investigate intriguing physical phenomena that would be unattainable with …

A Kekulé bond texture in graphene modifies the electronic band structure by folding the
Brillouin zone and bringing the two inequivalent Dirac points to the center. This can result in …

The presence of two sublattices in hexagonal graphene brings two energetically degenerate
extremes in the conduction and valence bands, which are identified by the valley quantum …

Kekulé distortion in graphene is a subject of extensive theoretical studies due to its non-
trivial material properties. Yet, experimental observation of its formation mechanism and …

Three-dimensional (3D) deformation of two-dimensional materials offers a route toward
band structure engineering. In the case of graphene, a spatially nonuniform deformation and …

Spin, anomalous, and valley Hall effects in graphene-based hybrid structures are studied
theoretically within the Green function formalism and linear response theory. Two different …

We report on the possibility to simultaneously generate in graphene a bulk valley-polarized
dissipative transport and a quantum valley Hall effect by combining strain-induced gauge …

The study of novel 2D platforms implementing magnetism in tunable van der Waals (vdW)
homo-and heterostructures paves the way to innovative spintronics and magnetic devices. In …

Previous works on deformed graphene predict the existence of valley-polarized states,
however, optimal conditions for their detection remain challenging. We show that in the …
