We present a numerically efficient technique to evaluate the Greens function for extended two dimensional systems without relying on periodic boundary conditions. Different regions of interest, or `patches, are connected using self energy terms which encode the information of the extended parts of the system. The calculation scheme uses a combination of analytic expressions for the Greens function of infinite pristine systems and an adaptive recursive Greens function technique for the patches. The method allows for an efficient calculation of both local electronic and transport properties, as well as the inclusion of multiple probes in arbitrary geometries embedded in extended samples. We apply the Patched Greens function method to evaluate the local densities of states and transmission properties of graphene systems with two kinds of deviations from the pristine structure: bubbles and perforations with characteristic dimensions of the order of 10-25 nm, i.e. including hundreds of thousands of atoms. The strain field induced by a bubble is treated beyond an effective Dirac model, and we demonstrate the existence of both Friedel-type oscillations arising from the edges of the bubble, as well as pseudo-Landau levels related to the pseudomagnetic field induced by the nonuniform strain. Secondly, we compute the transport properties of a large perforation with atomic positions extracted from a TEM image, and show that current vortices may form near the zigzag segments of the perforation.

We study the electronic structure of graphene with a single substitutional vacancy using a combination of the density-functional, tight-binding, and impurity Greens function approaches. Density functional studies are performed with the all-electron s
pin-polarized linear augmented plane wave (LAPW) method. The three $sp^2 sigma$ dangling bonds adjacent to the vacancy introduce localized states (V$sigma$) in the mid-gap region, which split due to the crystal field and a Jahn-Teller distortion, while the $p_z pi$ states introduce a sharp resonance state (V$pi$) in the band structure. For a planar structure, symmetry strictly forbids hybridization between the $sigma$ and the $pi$ states, so that these bands are clearly identifiable in the calculated band structure. As for the magnetic moment of the vacancy, the Hunds-rule coupling aligns the spins of the four localized V$sigma_1 uparrow downarrow$, V$sigma_2 uparrow $, and the V$pi uparrow$ electrons resulting in a S=1 state, with a magnetic moment of $2 mu_B$, which is reduced by about $0.3 mu_B$ due to the anti-ferromagnetic spin-polarization of the $pi$ band itinerant states in the vicinity of the vacancy. This results in the net magnetic moment of $1.7 mu_B$. Using the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, we reproduce the well-known $sim 1/r$ decay of the localized V$pi$ wave function with distance and in addition find an interference term coming from the two Dirac points, previously unnoticed in the literature. The long-range nature of the V$pi$ wave function is a unique feature of the graphene vacancy and we suggest that this may be one of the reasons for the widely varying relaxed structures and magnetic moments reported from the supercell band calculations in the literature.
The problem of the strain of smectics subjected to a force distributed over a line in the basal plane has been solved.
An analytical general analysis of the electromagnetic Dyadic Greens Function for two-dimensional sheet (or a very thin film) is presented, with an emphasis on on the case of graphene. A modified steepest descent treatment of the fields from a point d
ipole given in the form of Sommerfeld integrals is performed. We sequentially derive the expressions for both out-of-plane and in-plane fields of both polarizations. It is shown that the analytical approximation provided is very precise in a wide range of distances from a point source, down to a deep subwavelength region (1/100 of wavelength). We separate the contribution from the pole, the branch point and discuss their interference. The asymptotic expressions for the fields are composed of the plasmon, Norton wave and the components corresponding to free space.
We present first-principles calculations of silicene/graphene and germanene/graphene bilayers. Various supercell models are constructed in the calculations in order to reduce the strain of the lattice-mismatched bilayer systems. Our energetics analys
is and electronic structure results suggest that graphene can be used as a substrate to synthesize monolayer silicene and germanene. Multiple phases of single crystalline silicene and germanene with different orientations relative to the substrate could coexist at room temperature. The weak interaction between the overlayer and the substrate preserves the low-buckled structure of silicene and germanene, as well as their linear energy bands. The gap induced by breaking the sublattice symmetry in silicene on graphene can be up to 57 meV.
Hexagonal boron nitride is the only substrate that has so far allowed graphene devices exhibiting micron-scale ballistic transport. Can other atomically flat crystals be used as substrates for making quality graphene heterostructures? Here we report
on our search for alternative substrates. The devices fabricated by encapsulating graphene with molybdenum or tungsten disulphides and hBN are found to exhibit consistently high carrier mobilities of about 60,000 cm$^{2}$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$. In contrast, encapsulation with atomically flat layered oxides such as mica, bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide and vanadium pentoxide results in exceptionally low quality of graphene devices with mobilities of ~ 1,000 cm$^{2}$ V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$. We attribute the difference mainly to self-cleansing that takes place at interfaces between graphene, hBN and transition metal dichalcogenides. Surface contamination assembles into large pockets allowing the rest of the interface to become atomically clean. The cleansing process does not occur for graphene on atomically flat oxide substrates.
