Kagome electronic states in gradient-strained untwisted graphene bilayers
Zeyu Liu, Xianghua Kong, Zewen Wu, Linwei Zhou, Jingsi Qiao, Cong Wang, Shu Ping Lau and Wei Ji
Strain gradients in untwisted homo-bilayer graphene result in moiré superlattices. Force-field and DFT simulations reveal three kagome-like patterns with tunable electronic kagome bands near the Fermi level, extending moiré engineering beyond twist.

Self-assembly of isolated plasmonic dimers with sub-5 nm gaps on a metallic mirror
Vasanthan Devaraj, Isaac Azahel Ruiz Alvarado, Jong-Min Lee, Jin-Woo Oh, Uwe Gerstmann, Wolf Gero Schmidt and Thomas Zentgraf
We present a cost-effective self-assembly method to fabricate low-density dimer NPs in an NPoM architecture, using the M13 phage as a spacer layer. This will enable the development of dynamic plasmonic devices and advanced sensing applications.
