We study the electronic transport through uniformly bent carbon nanotubes. For this purpose, we describe the nanotube with the tight-binding model and calculate the local current flow by employing non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) in…

We propose a method to modulate the bandgaps in quasi-metallic carbon nanotubes using a transverse electric field. Unlike previous investigations, we include curvature effects of the nanotubes by incorporating both $\pi$- and…

We have observed the transversal vibration mode of suspended carbon nanotubes at millikelvin temperatures by measuring the single-electron tunneling current. The suspended nanotubes are actuated contact-free by the radio frequency electric…

A new way of the THz light generation is considered. A tera-hertz light is emitted from the interaction between a high frequency microwave and a relativistic electron beam, via the backward Raman scattering. The up-shifting of the frequency…

Earlier we focused a mode-locked laser on the tip-sample tunneling junction of a scanning tunneling microscope. This superimposed currents at hundreds of harmonics of the laser pulse-repetition rate on the DC tunneling current. The power at…

The basic properties of conducting electrons in carbon nanotubes are reviewed from a theoretical perspective, and studies performed on persistent currents in toroidal carbon nanotubes and on the local energy gap in deformed nanotubes are…

Excitons play major roles in optical processes in modern semiconductors, such as single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), transition metal dichalcogenides, and 2D perovskite quantum wells. They possess extremely large binding energies…

We investigate curvature effects on geometric parameters, energetics and electronic structure of zigzag nanotubes with fully optimized geometries from first-principle calculations. The calculated curvature energies, which are inversely…

A method for producing narrow-band THz radiation proposes passing an ultra-relativistic beam through a metallic pipe with small periodic corrugations. We present results of a measurement of such an arrangement at Brookhaven's Accelerator…

Carbon nanotubes can serve as one-dimensional nanoreactors for the in-tube synthesis of various nanostructures. Experimental observations have shown that chains, inner tubes, or nanoribbons can grow by the thermal decomposition of…

We investigated spin-resolved electronic transport through a junction composed of a nonmagnetic metal electrode and a zigzag carbon nanotube by means of self-consistent Green's function method in the tight binding approximation and the…

Carbon nanotubes have been observed to emit ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation when exposed to microwave fields. We have performed experiments in which both single-walled (~1 nm diameters) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (>50 nm…

Here we address a theoretical study on the behaviour of electronic states of heterojunctions and quantum dots based on carbon nanotubes under magnetic fields. Emphasis is put on the analysis of the local density of states, the conductance,…

We investigate the field emission properties of nitrogenated and boronated carbon nanotubes using time-dependent density functional theory, were the wave function propagation is performed using the Crank-Nicholson algorithm. We extract the…

Based on spatial-temporal symmetry breaking mechanism, we propose a novel scheme for terahertz (THz) wave generation from hyper-Raman lines associated with the 0th harmonic (a particular even harmonic) in a two-level quantum system driven…

We demonstrate an efficient procedure for terahertz-wave radiation generation by applying a nonlinear wavelength conversion approach using a mid-infrared pump source. We used a 3.3 {\mu}m dual-chirped optical parametric amplification source…

We investigate a metallic zigzag carbon nanotube by means of a Hubbard model which includes both on-site and nearest neighbour interactions. Assuming weak interactions, a renormalization group analysis of the equivalent two-leg ladder…

Ultrafast photocurrent experiments are performed on semiconducting, single-walled carbon nanotubes under a resonant optical excitation of their subbands. The photogenerated excitons are dissociated at large electric fields and the resulting…

We demonstrate that giant current and high spin rectification ratios can be achieved in atomic carbon chain devices connected between two symmetric ferromagnetic zigzag-graphene-nanoribbon electrodes. The spin dependent transport simulation…

New experimental results, and a plausible theoretical understanding thereof, are presented for the flow-induced currents and voltages observed in single-walled carbon nanotube samples. In our experiments, the electrical response was found…
