Low-energy Landau levels of AB-stacked zigzag graphene ribbons in the presence of a uniform perpendicular magnetic field (textbf{B}) are investigated by the Peierls coupling tight-binding model. State energies and associated wave functions are dominated by the textbf{B}-field strength and the $k_z$-dependent interribbon interactions. The occupied valence bands are asymmetric to the unoccupied conduction bands about the Fermi level. Many doubly degenerate Landau levels and singlet curving magnetobands exist along $k_x$ and $k_z$ directions, respectively. Such features are directly reflected in density of states, which exhibits a lot of asymmetric prominent peaks because of 1D curving bands. The $k_z$-dependent interribbon interactions dramatically modify the magnetobands, such as the lift of double degeneracy, the change of state energies, and the production of two groups of curving magnetobands. They also change the characteristics of the wave functions and cause the redistribution of the charge carrier density. The $k_z$-dependent wave functions are further used to predict the selection rule of the optical transition.

The low-frequency optical excitations of AA-stacked bilayer graphene are investigated by the tight-binding model. Two groups of asymmetric LLs lead to two kinds of absorption peaks resulting from only intragroup excitations. Each absorption peak obey
s a single selection rule similar to that of monolayer graphene. The excitation channel of each peak is changed as the field strength approaches a critical strength. This alteration of the excitation channel is strongly related to the setting of the Fermi level. The peculiar optical properties can be attributed to the characteristics of the LL wave functions of the two LL groups. A detailed comparison of optical properties between AA-stacked and AB-stacked bilayer graphenes is also offered. The compared results demonstrate that the optical properties are strongly dominated by the stacking symmetry. Furthermore, the presented results may be used to discriminate AABG from MG, which can be hardly done by STM.
As the three-dimensional analogs of graphene, Weyl semimetals display signatures of chiral anomaly which arises from charge pumping between the lowest chiral Landau levels of the Weyl nodes in the presence of parallel electric and magnetic fields. In
this work, we study the pseudo chiral anomaly and its transport signatures in graphene ribbon with zigzag edges. Here pseudo refers to the case where the inverse of width of zigzag graphene ribbon plays the same role as magnetic field in three-dimensional Weyl semimetals. The valley chiral bands in zigzag graphene ribbons can be introduced by edge potentials, giving rise to the nonconservation of chiral current, i.e., pseudo chiral anomaly, in the presence of a longitudinal electric field. Further numerical results reveal that pseudo magnetoconductivity of zigzag graphene ribbons is positive and has a nearly quadratic dependence on the pseudofield, which is regarded as the transport signature of pseudo chiral anomaly.
Zigzag edges of neutral armchair-oriented Graphene Nano-Ribbons show states strongly localized at those edges. They behave as free radicals that can capture electrons during processing, increasing ribbons stability. Thus, charging and its consequence
s should be investigated.Total energy calculations of finite ribbons using spin polarized Density Functional Theory (DFT) show that ribbons charging is feasible. Energies for Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) model Hamiltonian are compatible with DFT allowing the study of larger systems. Results for neutral ribbons indicate: i) the fundamental gap of spin polarized (non polarized) solutions is larger (smaller) than experimental data, ii) the ground state is spin polarized, a characteristic still not observed experimentally. Total energy of GNRs decreases with the number of captured electrons reaching a minimum for a number that mainly depends on zigzag edges size. The following changes with respect to neutral GNRs are noted: i) the ground state is not spin polarized, ii) fundamental gap is in-between that of spin polarized and non polarized solutions of neutral ribbons, iii) while in neutral ribbons valence and conduction band onsets vs. the fundamental gap, linearly and symmetrically approach mid-gap with slope 0.5, charging induces Fermi level pinning, i.e., the slopes of the valence and conduction bands being about 0.1 and 0.9, in agreement with experiment.
We study RKKY interactions for magnetic impurities on graphene in situations where the electronic spectrum is in the form of Landau levels. Two such situations are considered: non-uniformly strained graphene, and graphene in a real magnetic field. RK
KY interactions are enhanced by the lowest Landau level, which is shown to form electron states binding with the spin impurities and add a strong non-perturbative contribution to pairwise impurity spin interactions when their separation $R$ no more than the magnetic length. Beyond this interactions are found to fall off as $1/R^3$ due to perturbative effects of the negative energy Landau levels. Based on these results, we develop simple mean-field theories for both systems, taking into account the fact that typically the density of states in the lowest Landau level is much smaller than the density of spin impurities. For the strain field case, we find that the system is formally ferrimagnetic, but with very small net moment due to the relatively low density of impurities binding electrons. The transition temperature is nevertheless enhanced by them. For real fields, the system forms a canted antiferromagnet if the field is not so strong as to pin the impurity spins along the field. The possibility that the system in this latter case supports a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition is discussed.
We address the electronic structure and magnetic properties of vacancies and voids both in graphene and graphene ribbons. Using a mean field Hubbard model, we study the appearance of magnetic textures associated to removing a single atom (vacancy) an
d multiple adjacent atoms (voids) as well as the magnetic interactions between them. A simple set of rules, based upon Lieb theorem, link the atomic structure and the spatial arrangement of the defects to the emerging magnetic order. The total spin $S$ of a given defect depends on its sublattice imbalance, but some defects with S=0 can still have local magnetic moments. The sublattice imbalance also determines whether the defects interact ferromagnetically or antiferromagnetically with one another and the range of these magnetic interactions is studied in some simple cases. We find that in semiconducting armchair ribbons and two-dimensional graphene without global sublattice imbalance there is maximum defect density above which local magnetization disappears. Interestingly, the electronic properties of semiconducting graphene ribbons with uncoupled local moments are very similar to those of diluted magnetic semiconductors, presenting giant Zeeman splitting.
