Electronic Properties Of Flat And Curved Graphene Sheets, Deng Yanpei Jan 2021

Electronic Properties Of Flat And Curved Graphene Sheets, Deng Yanpei

Senior Projects Spring 2021

This paper explored the electronic properties of the graphene sheet and also developed basis for understanding the electronic properties of the curved graphene sheet. This paper began with setting up basic knowledge about solid-state physics including introducing band structure, band gap, crystal structure, and reviews for quantum mechanical operators. Then this paper described two potential models that are suitable for considering periodic potential: the weak potential and the tight-binding model. We discovered the tight-binding model is better for our graphene case and by applying this model we find the energies of the graphene sheet. Next, we constructed the 1D and …

The low energy electronic structure of Sr2IrO4 has been well studied and understood in terms of an effective Jeff= 1/2 Mott insulator model. However, little work has been done in studying its high energy electronic behaviors. Here we report a new observation of the anomalous high energy electronic structure in Sr2IrO4. By taking high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements on Sr2IrO4 over a wide energy range, we have revealed for the first time that the high energy electronic structures show unusual nearly-vertical bands that extend over a large energy range. …

Ultracold atoms in optical lattices have great potential to contribute to a better understanding of some of the most important issues in many-body physics, such as high-temperature superconductivity. The Hubbard model—a simplified representation of fermions moving on a periodic lattice—is thought to describe the essential details of copper oxide superconductivity. This model describes many of the features shared by the copper oxides, including an interaction-driven Mott insulating state and an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state. Optical lattices filled with a two-spin-component Fermi gas of ultracold atoms can faithfully realize the Hubbard model with readily tunable parameters, and thus provide a platform for …
