A moiré pattern, which is a kind of spatial interference between two periodic patterns, is regarded as a spatial modulation of a “field.” By defining the displacement field, we reveal that moiré patterns can have a topological phase singularity, similar to a disclination in liquid crystal and, more generally, a vector…

The behavior of n-Si(111) photoanodes covered by monolayer sheets of fluorinated graphene (F-Gr) was investigated under a range of chemical and electrochemical conditions. The electrochemical behavior of n-Si/F-Gr and np(+)-Si/F-Gr photoanodes was compared to hydride-terminated n-Si (n-Si-H) and np(+)-Si-H electrodes…

Abstract Here, we report a simple, green and economic process for the synthesis of highly fluorescent carbon nanoparticles (CPs) through low‐temperature carbonization of a fruit waste, Citrus sinensis peel. This approach allows the large‐scale production of aqueous CPs dispersions without any additives and post‐treatm…

Graphene photo-detectors functionalized by colloidal quantum dots (cQDs) have been demonstrated to show effective photo-detection. Although the transfer of charge carriers or energy from the cQDs to graphene is not sufficiently understood, it is clear that the mechanism and efficiency of the transfer depends on the mo…

The ever increasing demand for bandwidth in wireless communication systems will inevitably lead to the extension of operating frequencies toward the terahertz (THz) band known as the 'THz gap'. Towards closing this gap, we present a multi-level amplitude shift keying (ASK) terahertz wireless communication system using…

Rotated graphene bilayers form an exotic class of nanomaterials with fascinating electronic properties governed by the rotation angle $\ensuremath{\theta}$. For large rotation angles, the electron eigenstates are restricted to one layer and the bilayer behaves like two decoupled graphene layers. At intermediate angles…
