Abstract:
Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon material that until its recent discovery
was assumed not to exist in the free state. Graphene-related materials
have been in the scientific limelight since then due to several key discoveries
regarding their production and properties. There are numerous technological
applications envisaged for them. Besides the huge potential for applicability,
one key feature that makes graphene particularly popular is the simplicity
with which many of its physical properties can be described, primarily due to
the simple dispersion relation for its electrons. In this thesis a number of different
topics relating to graphene systems, and in particular those doped with
impurities, are investigated using a combination of analytical and numerical
methods. We consider both graphene sheets and quasi-one-dimensional strips
of graphene that are called 'nanoribbons'.
