TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of a Kekule distortion in zigzag graphene nanoribbons in both the subband spectrum and on its electronic transport properties were investigated, and the authors found interesting resonances in the conductance response emerging in the otherwise energy gap regions, which scales with the number of Kek-Y interfaces minus one.

TL;DR: In this article, the proximity-induced effects of the nearly commensurate lattice structure of a graphene layer AC stacked on Ni(111) and Co(0001) substrates are addressed.

TL;DR: In this article, the band structure of Kekul\'e-textured graphene can be reengineered through layer stacking, and the authors predict a family of bilayers with up to six-valley band structures and room-temperature Dirac quasiparticles whose masses can be tuned electrostatically.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spin splitting results from the Rashba effect due to the band bending in the quantum well were investigated and it was shown that substantial electron transfer from the surface to the well and becomes significant when the well is located near the surface.

TL;DR: In this article, a spin-interference device with three embedded quantum point contacts (QPCs) is proposed and its spin transport properties in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction are investigated.
