This is an update of a previous review (Naumis et al 2017 Rep. Prog. Phys. 80 096501).
Experimental and theoretical advances for straining graphene and other metallic, insulating …

In graphene, a Kekulé-Y bond texture modifies the electronic band structure, generating two
concentric Dirac cones with different Fermi velocities lying in the Γ point in reciprocal space …

An overview of two-dimensional (2D) materials electronic properties is presented, including
research in multilayered heterostructures. An emphasis is made on simple models that …

A Kubo formalism is used to calculate the electronic and optical conductivity of a graphene
superlattice with Y-shaped Kekulé bond texture, similar to that visualized in recent …

The formation of a superlattice in graphene can serve as a way to modify its electronic band
structure and thus to engineer its electronic transport properties. Recent experiments have …

Motivated by recent experimental findings on the low-energy spectrum of Kekulé-patterned
graphene, the optoelectronic signatures of graphene superlattices with a spatial modulation …

We demonstrate that the current flow in graphene can be guided on atomically thin current
pathways by the engineering of Kekulé-O distortions. A grain boundary in these distortions …

The electronic and optical conductivities for anisotropic tilted Dirac semimetals are
calculated using the Kubo formula. It is shown that, as in graphene, the minimal conductivity …

We theoretically study the Josephson effect in a superconductor/normal
metal/superconductor junction based on Kekulé patterned graphene. For the Kekulé-O …

The effects of second-neighbor interactions in Kekulé-Y patterned graphene electronic
properties are studied starting from a tight-binding Hamiltonian. Thereafter, a low-energy …
