Colloquium: Topological insulators

MZ Hasan, CL Kane - Reviews of modern physics, 2010 - APS
Topological insulators are electronic materials that have a bulk band gap like an ordinary
insulator but have protected conducting states on their edge or surface. These states are …

Materials perspective on Casimir and van der Waals interactions

LM Woods, DAR Dalvit, A Tkatchenko… - Reviews of Modern …, 2016 - APS
Interactions induced by electromagnetic fluctuations, such as van der Waals and Casimir
forces, are of universal nature present at any length scale between any types of systems …

Nobel lecture: Graphene: Materials in the flatland

KS Novoselov - Reviews of modern physics, 2011 - APS
Much like the world described in Abbott's Flatland, graphene is a two-dimensional object.
And, as “Flatland” is “a romance of many dimensions,” graphene is much more than just a …

Giant intrinsic carrier mobilities in graphene and its bilayer

SV Morozov, KS Novoselov, MI Katsnelson, F Schedin… - Physical review …, 2008 - APS
We have studied temperature dependences of electron transport in graphene and its bilayer
and found extremely low electron-phonon scattering rates that set the fundamental limit on …

Colloquium: The transport properties of graphene: An introduction

NMR Peres - Reviews of modern physics, 2010 - APS
An introduction to the transport properties of graphene combining experimental results and
theoretical analysis is presented. In the theoretical description simple intuitive models are …

Landau-level degeneracy and quantum Hall effect in a graphite bilayer

E McCann, VI Fal'ko - Physical review letters, 2006 - APS
We derive an effective two-dimensional Hamiltonian to describe the low-energy electronic
excitations of a graphite bilayer, which correspond to chiral quasiparticles with a parabolic …

Observation of microscale superlubricity in graphite

Z Liu, J Yang, F Grey, JZ Liu, Y Liu, Y Wang, Y Yang… - Physical review …, 2012 - APS
Upon shearing a microscale lithographically defined graphite mesa, the sheared section
retracts spontaneously to minimize interface energy. Here, we demonstrate a sixfold …

Unconventional integer quantum Hall effect in graphene

VP Gusynin, SG Sharapov - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
Monolayer graphite films, or graphene, have quasiparticle excitations that can be described
by (2+ 1)-dimensional Dirac theory. We demonstrate that this produces an unconventional …

Asymmetry gap in the electronic band structure of bilayer graphene

E McCann - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2006 - APS
A tight-binding model is used to calculate the band structure of bilayer graphene in the
presence of a potential difference between the layers that opens a gap Δ between the …
