We report the emission of strong coherent broadband terahertz radiation from 6H-Silicon-Carbide (SiC) excited with optical pulses. The measured terahertz spectral signal-to-noise ratio is better than one thousand. We determine that the…
We present an approach for time-dependent quantum transport based on a self-consistent non-equilibrium Green function formalism. The technique is applied to a ballistic carbon nanotube transistor in the presence of a time harmonic signal at…
We investigated the adsorption of a single atom, hydrogen and aluminum, on single wall carbon nanotubes from first-principles. The adsorption is exothermic, and the associated binding energy varies inversely as the radius of the zigzag…
Electrically-driven light emission from carbon nanotubes could be exploited in nano-scale lasers and single-photon sources, and has therefore been the focus of much research. However, to date, high electric fields and currents have been…
We report on the observation of terahertz radiation induced photogalvanic currents in semiconductor heterostructures with one-dimensional lateral periodic potential. The potential is produced by etching a grating into the sample surface.…
Terahertz pulse generation by ultra-intense two-color laser fields ionizing gases with near- to far-infrared carrier wavelength is studied from particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. For long wavelength ($10.6\ \mu$m) promoting a large ratio…
Based on a structure consisting of a single graphene layer situated on a periodic dielectric grating, we show theoretically that intense terahertz (THz) radiations can be generated by an electron bunch moving atop the graphene layer. The…
We have generated and detected the radial-breathing mode of coherent lattice vibrations in single-walled carbon nanotubes using ultrashort laser pulses. Because the band gap is a function of diameter, these diameter oscillations cause…
We observe a terahertz radiation from a hydrogen-bonded organic molecular ferroelectric 5,6-dichloro-2-methylbenzimidazole excited by a femtosecond laser pulse at room temperature. The emitted terahertz wave consists of three oscillatory…
A coherent terahertz needle radiation emission mechanism is proposed. This mechanism can be realized in the experiments on femtosecond laser pulses interacting with surface of nanostructured ferromagnetic metal film. The proposed mechanism…
Coupling carbon nanotube devices to microwave circuits offers a significant increase in bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. These facilitate fast non-invasive readouts important for quantum information processing, shot noise and…
Antenna-coupled suspended single carbon nanotubes exposed to 108 GHz microwave radiation are shown to be selectively heated with respect to their metal contacts. This leads to an increase in the conductance as well as to the development of…
We study theoretically the electronic structure, transport and optical properties for a zigzag single-wall carbon nanotube connected to two normal conductor leads under the irradiation of an external electromagnetic field at low…
The emergence of the terahertz (THz) ratchet effect is a rapidly expanding field of research that utilizes broken spatial symmetry in low-dimensional materials to rectify alternating current (AC) induced by THz fields into direct current…
We report the results of a model calculation for studying the effects of hydrostatic pressure on a bunch of carbon nanotubes. At pressures that we work with, the deformation in axial direction comes out to be negligibly small. We find that…
A magnetic field, through its vector potential, usually causes measurable changes in the electron wave function only in the direction transverse to the field. Here we demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that in carbon nanotube…
Time-varying effects have unveiled new possibilities for manipulating electromagnetic waves through the temporal dimension. In this study, we experimentally explore these effects in the nonlinear optical process of terahertz (THz)…
The exceptional charge transport properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) enable numerous ultrafast optoelectronic applications. Modifying SWCNTs by introducing defects significantly impacts the performance of nanotube-based…
We present a tight binding theory to analyze the motion of electrons between carbon nanotubes bundled into a carbon nanotube rope. The theory is developed starting from a description of the propagating Bloch waves on ideal tubes, and the…
We propose an experimentally viable setup for the realization of one-dimensional ultracold atom gases in a nanoscale magnetic waveguide formed by two doubly-clamped suspended carbon nanotubes. All common decoherence and atom loss mechanisms…
