We consider electronic spectra of twisted carbon nanotubes and their perturbation by impurity atoms absorbed at different positions on nanotube surface within the framework of Anderson hybrid model. A special attention is given to the cases…
Effects of the superconducting pair potential on the impurity scattering processes in metallic carbon nanotubes are studied theoretically. The backward scattering of electrons vanishes in the normal state. In the presence of the…
In carbon nanotubes, the most abundant defects, caused for example by irradiation or chemisorption treatments, are small perturbing clusters, i.e. bi-site defects, extending over both A and B sites. The relative positions of these…
The presence of impurities in the neutron star crust is known to affect in an important way the thermal and electrical conductivity of the star. In this work, we explore the possibility that such impurities might arise from the simultaneous…
Effects of impurity on the spin-dependent transport in a single wall carbon nanotube spin-valve, as ferromagnetic electrode/carbon nanotube/ferromagnetic electrode model junction is numerically investigated. Using a generalized Green's…
The two dimensional Thomas-Fermi approximation is applied to the problem of parabolic quantum dot composed of N electrons and an on-center impurity. Change induced by impurity on electron density, chemical potential and total energy is…

The first--principles density functional molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to investigate the geometric, the electronic, and the finite temperature properties of pure Li clusters (Li$_{10}$, Li$_{12}$) and Al--doped Li…
We investigate the effects of impurity scattering on the conductance of metallic carbon nanotubes as a function of the relative separation of the impurities. First we compute the conductance of a clean (6,6) tube, and the effect of model…
The possible presence of amorphous and heterogeneous phases in the inner crust of a neutron star is expected to reduce the electrical conductivity of the crust, with potentially important consequences on the magneto-thermal evolution of the…
The effect of a N2 impurity on the radial thermal expansion coefficient (ar) of single-walled carbon nanotube bundles has been investigated in the temperature interval 2.2 - 43 K by the dilatometric method. Saturation of nanotube bundles…
Phase transitions of a finite-size two-dimensional quantum fluid of bosons in presence of impurities are studied by using the truncated Gross-Pitaevskii model. Impurities are described with classical degrees of freedom. A spontaneous…
Magnetic impurity effects on metallic carbon nanotubes are studied theoretically. The resolvent method for the multi channel Kondo effect is applied to the band structure of the kp perturbation hamiltonian in the limit of the infinite…
Clusters containing a single magnetic impurity were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy, spectroscopy, and ab initio electronic structure calculations. The Kondo temperature of a Co atom embedded in Cu clusters on Cu(111) exhibits…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have recently attracted attention as materials for flexible thermoelectric devices. To provide theoretical guideline of how defects influence the thermoelectric performance of CNTs, we theoretically studied the…
We present a theoretical model accounting for the anomalous Fabry-Perot pattern observed in the ballistic conductance of a single-wall carbon nanotubes. Using the scattering field theory, it is shown that the presence of a limited number of…
Low-temperature thermal conductivity and thermopower of multiwalled carbon nanotubes considered within a bundle of nanotubes are calculated taking into account multiple scattering of electrons on the atoms of impurities (like single carbon…
This paper presents an analysis of the motion of an neutral impurity species in a nanometer scale $^4$He cluster, extending a previous study of the dynamics of an ionic impurity. It is shown that for realistic neutral impurity-He…
Single impurity effect on the melting process of magic number Lennard-Jones, rare gas, clusters of up to 309 atoms is studied on the basis of Parallel Tempering Monte Carlo simulations in the canonical ensemble. A decrease on the melting…
Effects of impurities and disorder on transport properties by electronic quasiparticles in superconducting iron pnictides are theoretically considered. The most prominent new features compared to the case of pure material should appear at…
