Topological Phases in Graphitic Cones

arXiv:cond-mat/0011530 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.85.5190

Abstract

The electronic structure of graphitic cones exhibits distinctive topological features associated with the apical disclinations. Aharonov-Bohm magnetoconductance oscillations (period Phi_0) are completely absent in rings fabricated from cones with a single pentagonal disclination. Close to the apex, the local density of states changes qualitatively, either developing a cusp which drops to zero at the Fermi energy, or forming a region of nonzero density across the Fermi energy, a local metalization of graphene.
