A reciprocal structure (RS) is a mechanical resistant structure formed by a set of self-supporting elements satisfying certain conditions of structural reciprocity (SR) . The first condition is that each element of the structure has to support and be supported by the others. The second condition is that these functions cannot occur in the same part of the element. These two properties make beams and two-dimensional materials very much appropriate to build RSs. Commonly seen in floors or roofs, SR is also present in art, religious symbols and decorative objects. Da Vinci has drawn several examples of such RSs. Here, we propose a simple nano version of a da Vincis RS based on graphene nanoribbons. The stability and resistance against mechanical impacts (ballistic projectile) were investigated through fully atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We considered structures with three and four joins with and without RS topologies. Our MD results showed that structures with RS topologies are more impact resistant than those without SR, despite the fact that the used graphene nanoribbons are highly pliable. We discuss these results in terms of the number of joins, energy absorption and stress on the structures. We discuss possible applications in nanoengineering.

A sketch, found in one of Leonardo da Vincis notebooks and covered by the written notes of this genius, has been recently restored. The restoration reveals a possible self-portrait of the artist, drawn when he was young. Here, we discuss the discover
y of this self-portrait and the procedure used for restoration. Actually, this is a restoration performed on the digital image of the sketch, a procedure that can easily extended and applied to ancient documents for studies of art and palaeography.
The visibility of graphene sheets on different types of substrates has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Although single layer graphene is observable on various types of dielectrics under an optical microscope, it is invisible
when it is placed directly on most of the semiconductor and metallic substrates. We show that coating of a resist layer with optimum thickness is an effective way to enhance the contrast of graphene on various types of substrates and makes single layer graphene visible on most semiconductor and metallic substrates. Experiments have been performed to verify the results on quartz and NiFe-coated Si substrates. The results obtained will be useful for fabricating graphene-based devices on various types of substrates for electronics, spintronics and optoelectronics applications.
Based on first-principles calculations we predict that periodically repeated junctions of armchair graphene nanoribbons of different widths form superlattice structures. In these superlattice heterostructures the width and the energy gap are modulate
d in real space and specific states are confined in certain segments. Orientation of constituent nanoribbons, their width and length, the symmetry of the junction are the structural parameters to engineer electronic properties of these quantum structures. Not only the size modulation, but also composition modulation, such as periodically repeated, commensurate heterojunctions of BN and graphene honeycomb nanoribbons result in a multiple quantum well structure. We showed that these graphene based quantum structures can introduce novel concepts to design nanodevices.
Combining graphene with other novel layered materials is a possible way for engineering the band structure of charge carriers. Strong spin-orbit coupling in BiTeX compounds and the recent fabrication of a single layer of BiTeI points towards a feasib
le experimental realization of a Kane--Mele phase in graphene-based heterostructures. Here, we theoretically demonstrate the tunability of the topological phase of hybrid systems built from graphene and BiTeX (X = I, Br, Cl) layers by uniaxial in-plane tensile and out-of plane compressive strain. We show that structural stress inherently present in fabricated samples could induce a topological phase transition, thus turning the sample in a novel experimental realization of a time reversal invariant topological insulator.
The graphene moire structures on metals, as they demonstrate both long (moire) and short (atomic) scale ordered structures, are the ideal systems for the application of scanning probe methods. Here we present the complex studies of the graphene/Ir(11
1) system by means of 3D scanning tunnelling and atomic force microscopy/spectroscopy as well as Kelvin-probe force microscopy. All results clearly demonstrate a variation of the moire and atomic scale contrasts as a function of the bias voltage as well as the distance between the scanning probe and the sample, allowing to discriminate between topographic and electronic contributions in the imaging of a graphene layer on metals. The presented results are accompanied by the state-of-the-art density functional theory calculations demonstrating the excellent agreement between theoretical and experimental data.
