We study the effects of the electrostatic interaction produced by charged fullerenes encapsulated in carbon nanotubes, showing that they are able to modify locally the electronic density of states in the hybrid system. In the cases where…

We study numerically self-trapped (polaron) states of quasiparticles (electrons, holes or excitons) in a deformable nanotube formed by a hexagonal lattice, wrapped into a cylinder (carbon- and boron nitride-type nanotube structures). We…

We report the effects of variation in length on the electronic structure of CdSe nanorods derived from atomic clusters and passivated by fictitious hydrogen atoms. These nanorods are augmented by attaching gold clusters at both the ends to…

The electronic structure of CdSe/CdS core/shell seeded nanorods of experimentally relevant size is studied using a combination of molecular dynamics and semiempirical pseudopotential techniques, with the aim to address the transition from…

The optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenides have previously been modified at the nanoscale by using mechanical and electrical nanostructuring. However, a clear experimental picture relating the local electronic structure with…

A theory for an electron affinity of ionic clusters is proposed both in a quasiclassical approach and with quantization of a polarization electric field in a nanoparticle. An interaction of an electron with longitudinal optical phonons in…

We investigate the electromechanical interactions in individual P(VDF-TrFE) nanowires in response to localized electrical poling via a conducting atomic force microscope tip. Spatially resolved measurements of piezoelectric coefficients and…

We present results of electronic structure calculations for aluminium contacts of atomic size, based on density functional theory and the local density approximation. Addressing the atomic orbitals at the neck of the nanocontact, we find…

We study electronic image states around a metallic nanoring and show that the interplay between the attractive polarization force and a repulsive centrifugal force gives rise to Rydberg-like image states trapped several nanometers away from…

We introduce two simple models to study the effect of a spatially localized transverse electric field on the low-energy electronic structure of semiconducting carbon nanotubes. Starting from the Dirac Hamiltonian for the low energy states…

The existence and localization of collective electron states for nanodiamond particles were studied both by solving a one-particle one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation in the Kronig-Penney potential and by ab initio computations of ground…

We study here polaron (soliton) states of electrons or holes in a model describing carbon-type nanotubes. In the Hamiltonian of the system we take into account the electron-phonon interaction that arises from the deformation dependencies of…

After making a cold weld by pressing two clean metal surfaces together, upon gradually separating the two pieces a metallic nanowire is formed, which progressively thins down to a single atom before contact is lost. In previous experiments…

By solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes Hamiltonian, the electron-hole coherence within a partially proximitized n-doped semiconductor shell of a core-shell nanowire heterostructure is investigated numerically and compared with the Andreev…

We study a set of crossed 1D systems, which are coupled with each other via tunnelling at the crossings. We begin with the simplest case with no electron-electron interactions and find that besides the expected level splitting, bound states…

Without a periodic reference framework, local structures in noncrystalline solids are difficult to specify, but they still exert an enormous influence on materials properties. For example, thermomechanical responses of organic and inorganic…

The polarization state of the optical electromagnetic field lying several nanometers above complex dielectric structures reveals the intricate light-matter interaction that occurs in this near-field zone. This information can only be…

We have fabricated single-electron transistors from individual metal nanoparticles using a geometry that provides improved coupling between the particle and the gate electrode. This is accomplished by incorporating a nanoparticle into a gap…

A theoretical study of the electronic properties of nanodisks and nanocones is presented within the framework of a tight-binding scheme. The electronic densities of states and absorption coefficients are calculated for such structures with…

We present a theoretical approach to determine the electronic properties of nanoscale systems exhibiting strong electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions and coupled to metallic electrodes. This approach is based on an…
