Talk:Graphene#Merge Potential applications of graphene here

Why is Graphene in this category? The article mentions nothing about it being toxic. Vid (talk) 22:19, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

{{edit coi|answered=yes}}

• The following paragraph is added to Graphene nanoribbons section:

Graphene nanoribbons{{cite book |title=Graphene Nanoribbons |date=1 November 2019 |publisher=IOP Publishing |isbn=978-0-7503-1701-6 |url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1088/978-0-7503-1701-6}} may be classified as symmetry-protected topological insulators in the absence of disorder. Armchair nanoribbons display chiral symmetry{{cite book |last1=Hideo |first1=Aoki |last2=Mildred S. |first2=Dresselhaus |title=Physics of Graphene |publisher=Springer |isbn=978-3-319-02632-9 |url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-02632-6 |language=en}} and function as $\backslash mathbb\{Z\}\_2$ topological insulators {{cite journal |last1=Lin |first1=Kuan-Sen |last2=Chou |first2=Mei-Yin |title=Topological Properties of Gapped Graphene Nanoribbons with Spatial Symmetries |journal=Nano Letters |date=14 November 2018 |volume=18 |issue=11 |pages=7254–7260 |doi=10.1021/acs.nanolett.8b03417}} {{cite journal |last1=Jiang |first1=Jingwei |last2=Louie |first2=Steven G. |title=Topology Classification using Chiral Symmetry and Spin Correlations in Graphene Nanoribbons |journal=Nano Letters |date=13 January 2021 |volume=21 |issue=1 |pages=197–202 |doi=10.1021/acs.nanolett.0c03503}}, similar to graphene zigzag nanoribbons with zigzag edge states {{cite journal |last1=Delplace |first1=P. |last2=Ullmo |first2=D. |last3=Montambaux |first3=G. |title=Zak phase and the existence of edge states in graphene |journal=Physical Review B |date=23 November 2011 |volume=84 |issue=19 |doi=10.1103/PhysRevB.84.195452}}. Disorder, acting as a singular perturbation, alters the topological class to a topologically ordered insulator with universal topological entanglement entropy (long-range entangled) {{cite journal |last1=Wen |first1=Xiao-Gang |title=Colloquium : Zoo of quantum-topological phases of matter |journal=Reviews of Modern Physics |date=4 December 2017 |volume=89 |issue=4 |doi=10.1103/RevModPhys.89.041004}}. Additionally, midgap states with $e/2$ fractional charges exist, residing on opposite zigzag edges and displaying spin-charge separation.{{Cite book |last=Yang |first=S-R Eric |url=https://doi.org/10.1142/13013 |title=Topologically Ordered Zigzag Nanoribbon |date=2022-05-26 |publisher=WORLD SCIENTIFIC |isbn=978-981-12-6189-3 |language=en |doi=10.1142/13013|s2cid=249140908 }}

• Reason for the change:

Recent developments in topological aspects, including both symmetry-protected and topologically ordered features, are outlined. Key papers and books relevant to each aspect are cited.

:{{Respond|orangeexclamation|Not done for now:}} it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 21:12, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

:The change has been improved and been declared explicitly. Lehoanganh1112 (talk) 01:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

::{{ping|Lehoanganh1112}} I'm not sure what is preventing you from making this edit yourself? Polyamorph (talk) 10:06, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

:::I was accused of adding promotional materials. The solution is to create a section in this Talk page. I appreciate it so much if you could review my proposal. Lehoanganh1112 (talk) 10:10, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

:{{Respond|bluecheck2|Go ahead.}} {{ping|Lehoanganh1112|}} I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. I fail to see any conflict of interest, or how that could impact this edit. I'd go for it. Sincerely, Guessitsavis (she/they) (Talk) 21:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

::This was part of a pattern of self-citation across many articles. Adding cites to yourself in that way is in fact a conflict of interest. It should just be added without the final sentence/cite. MrOllie (talk) 21:25, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

::Way too technical ("universal topological entanglement entropy"???) and out of scope for this article. We do have Graphene nanoribbons, though I'm not sure if it belongs there either, for the same reason. This article is already bloated and full of WP:REFSPAM hype.

:: Guessitsavis Thank you for reviewing Lehoanganh1112 (talk) 01:38, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

A short paragraph description for lay people near the beginning would be helpful. Any suggestions? BlueBellTree (talk) 04:40, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

:I agree and so does the Wikipedia manual of style. So I have flagged the article for technical content, pending some rewriting. Humpster (talk) 19:57, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

I believe we should merge Potential applications of graphene with this article (Graphene) because I believe it doesn’t meet notability and most other “Potential Applications of” Pages are redirects to a subsection of the main page on the topic. Sir_Macaw 17:23, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
