Read our new preprint Topological Valley Currents in Graphene with Local Sublattice Asymmetry on the arxiv from today. It examines how regions of local sublattice asymmetry can induce valley dependent scattering in graphene, and how such scattering can give rise to valley Hall signals in experiment.

Welcome to Sean McCann and Fionnuala Solomon, who are undertaking final year undergraduate research projects in the group. Sean is working on magnetic edge states in graphene, and Fionnuala is looking at electron scattering at monolayer/bilayer graphene interfaces

Welcome to Nina Georgoulea, who joins the group to study electromechanical effects in 2D materials. Nina will be also be co-supervised by Prof. Sanvito (Computational Spintronics) and Dr. Caffrey (Computational Materials), and is supported by the Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research (AMBER) centre

Stephen is speaking at the 2019 International Symposium on Epi-Graphene in Chemnitz, Germany -- a specialist conference devoted to graphene on silicon carbide.

Stephen is giving a talk at Graphene 2019 in Rome, presenting our recent experiment/theory collaboration about ballistic tracks in graphene nanoribbons

Read an account of our recent work in Nature Communications which discovered multiple segregated, ballistic transport channels in graphene nanoribbons on silicon carbide sidewalls
