A density functional theory study of the structural and electronic properties and relative stability of narrow SP3 silicon nanotubes of different growth orientations is presented. All nanotubes studied and their corresponding wire…

Spin defects in semiconductors are widely investigated for various applications in quantum sensing. Conventional host materials such as diamond and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) provide bulk or low-dimensional platforms for optically…

We present a paradigm in constructing very stable, faceted nanotube and fullerene structures by laterally joining nanoribbons or patches of different planar phosphorene phases. Our ab initio density functional calculations indicate that…

We report evidence for high temperature superconductivity in three dimensional networks of boron doped, ultrathin carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown inside the ~5 Angstrom channels of ZSM-5 zeolite. Confinement stabilizes (2,1) CNTs that are…

We have combined ab initio molecular dynamics with the intrinsic reaction coordinate in order to investigate the mechanisms of stability and pyrolysis of N$_{4}$-- N$_{120}$ fullerene-like nitrogen cages. The stability of the cages was…

In this work we present an ab-initio study of electronic properties of 1 dimensional (1D) core-shell nanostructures made of MS2 (MoS2, WS2) or BN armchair nanotube encapsulated carbon nanotubes (CNT). With local density approximation (LDA)…

Rhombohedral B$_{12}$ unit is viewed as a host matrix embedding linear tri-atomic arrangements of elements (E) resulting in a relatively large family of boron-rich compounds with B$_{12}${E-E-E} generic formulation. The present work focuses…

In 2015, a new two dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope, called phagraphene, was theoretically proposed. Based on this structure, we propose here a new boron nitride structure called phaBN. It is composed by three types of rings: pentagons,…

As the dimensions of electronic devices approach those of molecules, the size, geometry and chemical composition of the contact electrodes play increasingly dominant roles in device functions. It is shown here that single-walled carbon…

The two-dimensional atomically thin insulator hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) constitutes a new paradigm in tunnel based devices. A large band gap along with its atomically flat nature without dangling bonds or interface trap states makes it…

This study comprehensively examined the structural, electronic, electrochemical, and energy storage properties of boron-vacancy induced porous boron nitride monolayers (BN:VB) as multifunctional materials, anodes for MIBs and H2 storage…

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a two dimensional (2D) layered insulator with superior dielectric performance that offers excellent interaction with other 2D materials (e.g. graphene, MoS2). Large-area h-BN can be readily grown on…

In this dissertation, thermal and electrical properties of aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) prepared by thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons have been experimentally studied. The thesis consists of six chapters. Ch1 is an…

Ultra-wide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors are poised to transform power electronics by surpassing the capabilities of established wide bandgap materials, such as GaN and SiC, owing to their capability to operate at higher voltage, frequency,…

In this paper, we report a new boron nitride molecular structure called BN-nanobelt, an inorganic analog of (12) cyclophenacene synthesized in 2017. An extensive investigation using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Quantum Molecular…

Three typical one-dimensional (1D)/quasi-1D nanocarbons, linear carbon chains, carbon nanotubes, and graphene nanoribbons have been proven to grow inside single-wall carbon nanotubes. This gives rise to three types of hybrid materials whose…

Using density functional theory, we study physical properties of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) with the substitutional carbon pair defect. We also consider the Stone-Wales (SW) rearrangement of the C-C pair defect in the BNNT. The…

We employ first-principles calculations based density-functional-theory (DFT) approach to study electronic properties of partially and fully edge-hydrogenated armchair boron-nitrogen-carbon (BNC) nanoribbons (ABNCNRs), with widths between…

The first-principles calculations predict a stable biphenylene carbon network (BPN) like the Boron-nitride structure named inorganic biphenylene network (I-BPN). A comparison has been done between BPN and I-BPN to examine the stability of…

Because of its novel physical properties, two-dimensional materials have attracted great attention. From first-principle calculations and vibration frequenceis analysis, we predict a new family of two-dimensional materials based on the idea…
