New forms of carbon-based materials have received great attention, and the developed materials have found many applications in nanotechnology. Interesting novel carbon structures include the carbon peapods, which are comprised of fullerenes…

An investigation concerning the tautness of suspended carbon nanotubes (CNTs), grown using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is presented. The suspended nanotubes were analyzed with both a transmission electron microscope (TEM),…

We study spin transport through a normal metal-spin superconductor junction. A spin-flip reflection is demonstrated at the interface, where a spin-up electron incident from the normal metal can be reflected as a spin-down electron and the…

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most important materials in nanotechnology. In some of their technological applications (electromechanical oscillators and mechanical actuators for artificial muscles, for instance), it is necessary to…

The current paper opens a series of papers that are aimed at the determination of barriers that govern the covalent coupling between partners of C60-based composites consisting of two or more fullerenes C60 (C60 dimer and oligomers) (Part…

The coupling of the spin and the motion of charge carriers stems directly from the atomic structure of a conductor. It has become an important ingredient for the emergence of topological matter, and, in particular, topological…

The electronic structure, specific heat, and thermal conductivity of silicon embedded in a monolayer graphene nanosheet are studied using Density Functional Theory. Two different shapes of the substitutional Si doping in the graphene are…

Nanofluidics is pivotal in fundamental research and diverse applications, from water desalination to energy harvesting and biological analysis. Dynamically manipulating nanofluidic properties, such as diffusion and friction, presents an…

The interplay between topology and magnetism often triggers the exotic quantum phases. Here, we report an accessible scheme to engineer the robust $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ topology by intrinsic magnetism, originating from the zigzag segment…

The rapid development of fabrication of functional high-quality graphene-like nanoribbons has increasingly reliant on integration of diverse nanofabrication platforms. The demand for innovative techniques to enable the exploration and…

In this paper, we analyze the effect which the choice of a friction model has on tippe top inversion in the case where the resulting action of all dissipative forces is described not only by the force applied at the contact point, but also…

The infrared bar-spectrum of a single ammonia molecule encapsulated in nano-cage C$_{60}$ fullerene molecule is modelled using the site inclusion model successfully applied to analyze spectra of CO$_2$ isotopologues isolated in rare gas…

A possibility of controlled manipulation of electron spin states has been investigated for a cylindrical two-dimensional electron gas confined in a semiconductor nanotube/cylindrical nanowire with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. We…

Armchair graphene nanoribbons, when forming a superlattice, can be classified in different topological phases, with or without edge states. By means of tight-binding and classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we studied the…

We demonstrate that one-dimensional moir\'e patterns, analogous to those found in twisted bilayer graphene, can arise in collapsed chiral carbon nanotubes. Resorting to a combination of approaches, namely, molecular dynamics to obtain the…

We investigate the coupling of spin and thermal currents as a means to rise the thermoelectric efficiency of nanoscale graphene devices. We consider nanostructures composed of overlapping graphene nanoribbons with ferromagnetic contacts in…

In a non-uniform magnetic field, the droplets of colloids of nickel nanorods and nanoparticles aggregate to form a cusp at the droplet surface not deforming the entire droplet shape. When the field is removed, nanorods diffuse away and cusp…

Ultimately, brittle fracture involves breaking atomic bonds. However, we still lack a clear picture of what happens in the highly deformed region around a moving crack tip. Consequently, we still cannot link nano to atomic-scale phenomena…

Nanoparticles can influence the properties of polymer materials by a variety of mechanisms. With fullerene, carbon nanotube, and clay or graphene sheet nanocomposites in mind, we investigate how particle shape influences the melt shear…

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations is used to study the motion of a C60 molecule on a graphene sheet subjected to a temperature gradient. The C60 molecule is actuated and moves along the system while it just randomly dances along…
