Theoretical Aspects of Graphene and Related Carbon Nanostructures

We study transport  in graphene structures, including conductivity for different types of scatterers, quantum interference phenomena, transport regimes (ballistics, localization, diffusion, criticality), interaction effects, and non-equilibrium physics.

In particular, we investigate:

• Influence of electron-phonon coupling on elastic properties of graphene bilayers and monolayers;
• Strongly nonequilibrium graphene, relaxation of hot carriers;
• Double-layer graphene (Coulomb drag);
• Transport and spectral properties of graphene with strong scatterers;
