The extraordinary properties of graphene make it a very promising material for use in optoelectronics. However, this is still a nascent field, where some basic properties of the electromagnetic field in graphene must be explored. Here we report on the fields radiated by a nanoemitter lying on a graphene sheet. Our results show that this field presents a rich dependence on both frequency, distance to the source and dipole orientation. This behavior is attributed to distinct peculiarities on the density of electromagnetic states in the graphene sheet and the interaction between them. The field is mainly composed of an core region of high-intensity electromagnetic field, dominated by surface plasmons, and an outer region where the field is practically the same it would be for an emitter in vacuum. Within the core region, the intensity of the electric field is several orders of magnitude larger than what it would be in vacuum. Importantly, the size of this core region can be controlled thorough external gates, which opens up many interesting applications in, for instance, surface optics and spectroscopy. Additionally, the large coupling between nanoemitters and surface plasmons makes graphene sheets a propitious stage for quantum-optics, in which the interaction between quantum objects could be externally tailored at will.

The motion of a C60 molecule over a graphene sheet at finite temperature is investigated both theoretically and computationally. We show that a graphene sheet generates a van der Waals laterally periodic potential, which directly influences the motio
n of external objects in its proximity. The translational motion of a C60 molecule near a graphene sheet is found to be diffusive in the lateral directions. While, in the perpendicular direction, the motion may be described as diffusion in an effective harmonic potential which is determined from the distribution function of the position of the C60 molecule. We also examine the rotational diffusion of C60 and show that its motion over the graphene sheet is not a rolling motion.
Many of the properties of graphene are tied to its lattice structure, allowing for tuning of charge carrier dynamics through mechanical strain. The graphene electro-mechanical coupling yields very large pseudomagnetic fields for small strain fields,
up to hundreds of Tesla, which offer new scientific opportunities unattainable with ordinary laboratory magnets. Significant challenges exist in investigation of pseudomagnetic fields, limited by the non-planar graphene geometries in existing demonstrations and the lack of a viable approach to controlling the distribution and intensity of the pseudomagnetic field. Here we reveal a facile and effective mechanism to achieve programmable extreme pseudomagnetic fields with uniform distributions in a planar graphene sheet over a large area by a simple uniaxial stretch. We achieve this by patterning the planar graphene geometry and graphene-based hetero-structures with a shape function to engineer a desired strain gradient. Our method is geometrical, opening up new fertile opportunities of strain engineering of electronic properties of 2D materials in general.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to study the formation process of nanopores in a suspended graphene sheet irradiated by using energetic ions though a mask. By controlling the ion parameters including mass, energy and incident angle
, different kinds of topography were observed in the graphene sheet. Net-like defective strucutures with carbon atom chains can be formed at low ion fluence, which provides the possibility to functionalize the irradiated sample with subsequent chemical methods; finally a perfect nanopore with smooth edge appears as the ion fluence is high enough. We found that the dependence of ion damage efficiency on ion fluence, energy and incident angle are different from that predicted by the semi-empirical model based on the binary-collision approximation, which results from the special structure of graphene. Our results demonstrate that it is feasible to fabricate controlled nanopores/nanostructures in graphene via heavy ion irradiation.
Recent experiments reveal that a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) probe tip can generate a highly localized strain field in a graphene drumhead, which in turn leads to pseudomagnetic fields in the graphene that can spatially confine graphene charg
e carriers in a way similar to a lithographically defined quantum dot (QD). While these experimental findings are intriguing, their further implementation in nanoelectronic devices hinges upon the knowledge of key underpinning parameters, which still remain elusive. In this paper, we first summarize the experimental measurements of the deformation of graphene membranes due to interactions with the STM probe tip and a back gate electrode. We then carry out systematic coarse grained, (CG), simulations to offer a mechanistic interpretation of STM tip-induced straining of the graphene drumhead. Our findings reveal the effect of (i) the position of the STM probe tip relative to the graphene drumhead center, (ii) the sizes of both the STM probe tip and graphene drumhead, as well as (iii) the applied back-gate voltage, on the induced strain field and corresponding pseudomagnetic field. These results can offer quantitative guidance for future design and implementation of reversible and on-demand formation of graphene QDs in nanoelectronics.
We study the acoustical intensity field radiated by a thin cylindrical rod vibrating in its lowest compressional mode. Due to the cylindrical symmetry, the emitted field is measured in a radial plane of the rod which is sufficient to reconstruct the
full three-dimensional field. Starting from the one-dimensional approximation of the excited compressional mode, we develop a simplified theoretical wave equation which allows for a semi-analytical solution for the emitted wave field. The agreement between the experimental results and the semi-analytical solution is eloquent.
