We demonstrate the fabrication of graphene nanogap with crystallographically matching edges on SiO2Si substrates by divulsion. The current-voltage measurement is then performed in a high-vacuum chamber for a graphene nanogap with few hundred nanometers separation. The parallel edges help to build uniform electrical field and allow us to perform electron emission study on individual graphene. It was found that current-voltage characteristics are governed by the space-charge-limited flow of current at low biases while the FN model fits the I-V curves in high voltage regime. We also examined electrostatic gating effect of the vacuum electronic device. Graphene nanogap with atomically parallel edges may open up opportunities for both fundamental and applied research of vacuum nanoelectronics.

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.
Monatomic metal (e.g. silver) structures could form preferably at graphene edges. We explore their structural and electronic properties by performing density functional theory based first-principles calculations. The results show that cohesion betwee
n metal atoms, as well as electronic coupling between metal atoms and graphene edges offer remarkable structural stability of the hybrid. We find that the outstanding mechanical properties of graphene allow tunable properties of the metal monatomic structures by straining the structure. The concept is extended to metal rings and helices that form at open ends of carbon nanotubes and edges of twisted graphene ribbons. These findings demostrate the role of graphene edges as an efficient one-dimensional template for low-dimensional metal structures that are mechanotunable.
It is known that there is a wide class of quasi-two-dimensional graphenelike nanomaterials which in many respects can outperform graphene. So, here in addition to graphene, the attention is directed to stanene (buckled honeycomb structure) and phosph
orene (puckered honeycomb structure). It is shown that, depending on the doping, these materials can have magnetically ordered edges. Computed diagrams of magnetic phases illustrate that, on the one hand, n-type doped narrow zigzag nanoribbons of graphene and stanene have antiferromagnetically aligned magnetic moments between the edges. On the other hand, however, in the case of phosphorene nanoribbons the zigzag edges can have ferromagnetically aligned magnetic moments for the p-type doping. The edge magnetism critically influences transport properties of the nanoribbons, and if adequately controlled can make them attractive for spintronics.
We study the effects of low-energy electron beam irradiation up to 10 keV on graphene based field effect transistors. We fabricate metallic bilayer electrodes to contact mono- and bi-layer graphene flakes on SiO$_2$, obtaining specific contact resist
ivity $rho_c simeq 19 kOmega mu m^2$ and carrier mobility as high as 4000 cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$. By using a highly doped p-Si/SiO$_2$ substrate as back gate, we analyze the transport properties of the device and the dependence on the pressure and on the electron bombardment. We demonstrate that low energy irradiation is detrimental on the transistor current capability, resulting in an increase of the contact resistance and a reduction of the carrier mobility even at electron doses as low as 30 $e^-/nm^2$. We also show that the irradiated devices recover by returning to their pristine state after few repeated electrical measurements.
Dodecagonal bilayer graphene quasicrystal has 12-fold rotational order but lacks translational symmetry which prevents the application of band theory. In this paper, we study the electronic and optical properties of graphene quasicrystal with large-s
cale tight-binding calculations involving more than ten million atoms. We propose a series of periodic approximants which reproduce accurately the properties of quasicrystal within a finite unit cell. By utilizing the band-unfolding method on the smallest approximant with only 2702 atoms, the effective band structure of graphene quasicrystal is derived. Novel features, such as the emergence of new Dirac points (especially the mirrored ones), the band gap at M point and the Fermi velocity are all in agreement with recent experiments. The properties of quasicrystal states are identified in the Landau level spectrum and optical excitations. Importantly, our results show that the lattice mismatch is the dominant factor determining the accuracy of layered approximants. The proposed approximants can be used directly for other layered materials in honeycomb lattice, and the design principles can be applied for any quasi-periodic incommensurate structures.
