The geometrical and electronic structure properties of $<100>$ and $<110>$ silicon nanowires in the absence of surface passivation are studied by means of density-functional calculations. As we have shown in a recent publication [R. Rurali…

We analyze the effects of sp^2/sp^3 bond-aspect ratio on the transport properties of amorphous carbon quasi-1D structures where structural disorder varies in a very non-linear manner with the effective bandgap. Using a tight-binding…

We evaluate the electronic, geometric and energetic properties of quasi 1-D wires formed by dangling bonds on Si(100)-H (2 x 1). The calculations are performed with density functional theory (DFT). Infinite wires are found to be insulating…

Carbon nanotubes are one-dimensional and very narrow. These obvious facts imply that under doping with boron and nitrogen, microscopic doping inhomogeneity is much more important than for bulk semiconductors. We consider the possibility of…

Silicon nanotube is constructed by rolling up a silicene, i.e., a monolayer of silicon atoms forming a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. It is a semiconductor or an insulator owing to relatively large spin-orbit interactions induced by its…

We demonstrate a high electron conductivity (> 10^2 S/cm and up to 10^3 S/cm) of tungsten suboxide W18O(52.4-52.9)(or equivalently WO(2.91-2.94)) nanotubes (2 to 3 nm in diameter, ca. micrometer long). The conductivity is measured in the…

Nanotechnology's impact on semiconductor industry advancement, particularly through the engineering of nanostructures like nanowires, opens new possibilities for material functionality due to the tunable physical properties of…

The electronic band structure of armchair carbon nanotubes may be considerably modified by potentials with angular dependence. Different angular modes V_q ~ cos(q*theta) have been studied within a tight-binding scheme. Using symmetry…

Single-walled carbon nanotubes are hollow cylinders, that can grow centimeters long by carbon incorporation at the interface with a catalyst. They display semi-conducting or metallic characteristics, depending on their helicity, that is…

Mechanical and electronic properties of $s$-triazine are studied using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The in-plane stiffness and bulk modulus for $s$-triazine sheet are found to be less than that of…

We present a detailed study of the geometry, structure and energetics of carbon nanotube caps. We show that the structure of a cap uniquely determines the chirality of the nanotube that can be attached to it. The structure of the cap is…

Endohedrally doped Si20 fullerenes appear as appealing building blocks for nanoscale materials. We investigate their structural stability with an unbiased and systematic global geometry optimization method within density-functional theory.…

In a recent paper Liang {\it et al.} [Nature {\bf 411}, 665 (2001)] showed experimentally, that metallic nanotubes, strongly coupled to external electrodes, may act as coherent molecular waveguides for electronic transport. The experimental…

Band structure is theoretically studied in partially flattened carbon nanotubes within an effective-mass scheme. Effects of inter-wall interactions are shown to be important in non-chiral nanotubes such as zigzag and armchair and can…
