“…These electronic bandgaps showed high sensitivity against different stimulations such as voltage, photon, electrical and magnetic applications. Therefore, there is great potential depending on targeted functionalities, as in the development of nanosensors [64], smart responsive photonic surfaces [65,66], chips [67], waveguides [68], luminescence waveguiding [69][70][71], transistors [72], computers [73] and screens [74]. In this manner, the factor shared by all the examples discussed should be noted related to a high sensitivity by the right tuning of the material.…”

In the present work we describe the most important quantum properties of graphene and derivatives recently published. We discuss how these properties were incorporated into varied hybrid materials such as substrates for specific tuning of matter to track varied quantum signals. Their potential applications were analyzed from nanomaterial and nanotechnology. In particular graphene, its derivatives and other carbon-based allotropes were chosen due to their special chemical structure and properties from the nanoscale to larger lengths, according to specific applications. As expected, these carbon-based and related materials’ highly ordered and condensed electronic configuration showed particular electronic properties below the nanoscale. Thus, we discussed the generation of pseudo-electromagnetic fields and conduction bands. This particular property could also interact with different quantized energy levels and quantum properties, such as those focused on: i) Dirac electron interaction and conduction, ii) anomalous quantized hall effects, iii) magnetic effects, iv) excitons, v) polaron generations, d vi) Fermi and Landau levels. These different phenomena were discussed about the particular topological states of graphene by tuning their 3D chemical structures. Therefore, quantum phenomena and their possible modifications such as quantum interference, potential improvements and encrypted signal transduction were considered for applications.

“…Multi-layered approaches exploiting resonant enhancement of evanescent waves have been invoked to increase the evanescent field strength for applications such as atomic mirrors [28] and optical trapping, using graphene and double-negative materials [29,30]. A related approach is exploited in surface plasmon resonance experiments [31,32] in which a thin film of metal (e.g.…”

Evanescent wave-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (EWIFS) is a widely used technique for probing the interfacial behavior of different complex media in investigations of samples in the physical, chemical, and biological sciences. This technique takes advantage of the sharply decaying evanescent field, established following total internal reflection (TIR) at the interface of two media, for spatially identifying the photoluminescence characteristics of the sample. The generation of the evanescent field requires the refractive index of the second medium to be lower than that of the first, so a major disadvantage of this increasingly widely used spectroscopic technique is the inability to exploit the advantages of EWIFS to image a sample with a higher refractive index than the incident substrate medium. A proposed configuration in which a thin, low refractive index intermediate layer is established between the TIR substrate and a high refractive index sample is investigated. We illustrate that this arrangement does not afford the desired advantages of evanescent field-induced fluorescence measurements for investigating high refractive index media.

: In this communication we discuss the particular electronic and quantum properties from graphene and carbon allotropes to highly conjugated carbon chemical structures from recent research. Moreover, the chemical modifications of these types of materials were analyzed against the concept of their inert properties, thus identifying their surfaces could be modified to join different properties, functionalities, and couple electronic effects, among others. Their versatility was shown based on simple chemical reactions in controlled and targeted conditions of synthesis. Variable designs could be tuned from proof of concepts to functional materials for targeted applications. In addition, it was discussed a proof of concept for Electron Transfer (ET) applications to show their electronic properties. Finally, it was analyzed the use from highly conjugated chemical structures to higher hierarchical ordered carbon structures, carbon nanotubes, graphene and carbon allotropes in electron, and opto-responsive metamaterials. Thus, new insights into multi-modal characteristics of materials were discussed.
