We theoretically investigate the phonon propagation and thermal conductivity $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ in hybrid boron nitride and graphene sheets. By using a real-space Kubo-computational transport scheme, large and disordered graphene structures are simulated, introducing disk-shaped domains with varying sizes of 2 to 8…

Skeletal Ni, produced by the selective leaching of Al from a Ni/Al alloy, has been successfully employed in the catalytic dehydrogenation of various amine-borane adducts. The combination of low cost and facile single-step synthesis make this system a potentially attractive alternative to the previously described preci…

An analytical approach, using the Dirac-Weyl equation, is implemented to obtain the energy spectrum and optical absorption of a circular graphene quantum dot in the presence of an external magnetic field. Results are obtained for the infinite-massand zigzag boundary conditions. We found that the energy spectrum of a d…

We report transport measurements through graphene on SrTiO(3) substrates as a function of magnetic field B, carrier density n, and temperature T. The large dielectric constant of SrTiO(3) very effectively screens long-range electron-electron interactions and potential fluctuations, making Dirac electrons in graphene v…

We show that the flexomagnetic effect leads to new linear flexomagnetoelectric (FME) coupling in bulk and nanosized materials, where the polarization and (anti)magnetization vectors are spatially inhomogeneous due to external or internal forces. The linear FME coupling is proportional to the product of the gradients o…
