A description of dislocation and disclination defects in terms of the Riemann–Cartan
geometry is given, with the curvature and torsion tensors interpreted as the surface densities …

Graphene inclusion in a polymer matrix is a promising route to significantly enhance the
mechanical properties of low-grade carbon fibers (CFs). Using ReaxFF molecular dynamics …

Raman scattering is known to be a unique characterization tool for carbon-based materials
such as graphite, diamond, graphene and nanostructured carbons. In this article, we …

A formalism is proposed to study the electronic and transport properties of graphene sheets
with corrugations as the one recently synthesized. The formalism is based on coupling the …

Blends of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and poly (p-phenylene-2, 6-benzobisoxazole)(PBO) as
precursors may offer an opportunity to reduce the cost of carbon fiber (CF) production. The …

A model is proposed to study the electronic structure of slightly curved graphene sheets with
an arbitrary number of pentagon-heptagon pairs and Stone-Wales defects based on a …

In this Letter we use a geometric approach to study geometric phases in graphitic cones.
The spinor that describes the low energy states near the Fermi energy acquires a phase …

In this work, we study the low-energy electronic spectrum of a graphene layer structure with
a disclination in the presence of a magnetic field. We make this study using the continuum …

The geometric language of General Relativity is not normally related to Condensed Matter
(CM) Physics since it is the electromagnetic and not the gravitational interaction that …

Topological effects of a spiral dislocation on an electron are investigated when it is confined
to a hard-wall confining potential. Besides, the influence of the topology of the spiral …
