- Quantum interference plays a significant role in controlling electron flow through nanomaterials. This work is the first demonstration of such an effect in graphene nanojunctions. As evidenced by citations, this paper has opened a new area of research: numerous follow-up studies are being carried out in the UK, Europe and beyond. This research led to a £6m EPSRC Programme Grant “QuEEN” to study transport properties of such junctions. This article, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was very influential in securing two prestigious fellowships for the authors (Leverhulme ECF and UKRI FLF) and a permanent academic position.
