Emergent phenomena in strained graphene nanostructures : advanced numerical simulations of electronic properties and the pseudo-magnetic field of graphene-based strain-textured nanostructures and superlattices
This thesis investigates how controlled deformations and heterostructures in graphene can be exploited for electronic applications by combining molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with tight-binding (TB) calculations. First, the pseudo-vector potential in strained graphene is analyzed by comparing continuum elasticity...
