We propose a strategy to make phosphorus nanotubes from two well-known phosphorus allotropes: violet phosphorus and fibrous red phosphorus. First-principles calculations show that doping with sulfur dissociates the covalent bonds between…
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…
Black phosphorus is not stable when it is exposed to air. When covered or terminated by single layer carbon atoms, such as graphene carbon nanotube, it is more strongly protected in the rapid degradation than the bare black phosphorus.…

Few layer black phosphorus is a new two-dimensional material which is of great interest for applications, mainly in electronics. However, its lack of stability severely limits our ability to synthesise and process this material. Here we…
Amphiphilic phospholipids and nanoparticles functionalized with hydrophobic capping ligands have previously been extensively investigated for their capacity to self-assemble into Langmuir monolayers at the air/water interface. However,…
For applications in nanomedicine, particles need to be functionalized to prevent protein corona formation and or aggregation. Most advanced strategies take advantage of functional polymers and assembly techniques. Nowadays there is an…

Plasmonic antennas, leveraging localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), hold significant promise for efficiently trapping nanoscale particles at low power levels. However, their effectiveness is hindered by photothermal effects in…
Phosphorene, the single- or few-layer form of black phosphorus, was recently rediscovered as a twodimensional layered material holding great promise for applications in electronics and optoelectronics. Research into its fundamental…
Solid-state nanopore and nanopipette sensors are powerful devices for the detection, quantification and structural analysis of biopolymers such as DNA and proteins, especially in carrier-enhanced resistive-pulse sensing. However, hundreds…
Using the first-principles GW-Bethe-Salpeter equation method, here we study the excited-state properties, including quasi-particle band structures and optical spectra, of phosphorene, a two-dimensional (2D) atomic layer of black phosphorus.…
