Nanowires play a pivotal role across a spectrum of disciplines such as nanoelectromechanical systems, nanoelectronics, and energy applications. As nanowires continue to diminish in dimensions, their mechanical characteristics are…

The extraordinary one-dimensional properties of carbon nanotubes have captivated scientists and engineers since their discovery in the early 1990s. In particular, semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are highly promising for…

Density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations have been used to optimize the structure of nanowires of SiO2. The starting structures were based on b-cristobalite, orthotridymite, b-tridymite, and rutile crystals. The analysis…

Monoatomic chains of molybdenum encapsulated in single walled carbon nanotubes of different chiralities are investigated using density functional theory. We determine the optimal size of the carbon nanotube for encapsulating a single atomic…

The localization length and density of states of carbon nanotubes are evaluated within the tight-binding approximation. By comparison with the corresponding results for the square lattice tubes, it is found that the hexagonal structure…

Based on a numerical ab initio study, we discuss a structure model for a broad boron sheet, which is the analog of a single graphite sheet, and the precursor of boron nanotubes. The sheet has linear chains of sp hybridized sigma bonds lying…

We determine the stability, the geometry, the electronic and magnetic structure of hydrogen-terminated graphene-nanoribbons edges as a function of the hydrogen content of the environment by means of density functional theory.…

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…

Direct bandgap bulk materials are very important for the optical applications. It is therefore important to predict new materials with the desired properties. In the present work, density functional theory is applied to study different…

Pulsed laser-deposited amorphous carbon nanofoams are potential candidate for electrochemical energy storage applications due to ultra-light weight, large volumetric void fractions, and co-existence of sp, sp2 and sp3 carbon hybridization.…

A theoretical investigation was conducted on Na-based fluoro-perovskites NaYF3 (Y = Sc, Ti) to examine their structural, optical, electronic, and mechanical characteristics for the first time. These cubic compounds exhibit structural…

In this study, we systematically investigated the structural, mechanical, electronic and optical properties of Sn2Bi monolayer, a sheet experimentally synthesized recently [PRL, 121, 126801 (2018)] which has been hydrogenated (Sn2BiH2) to…

Surfaces of homoepitaxially grown TiO2-terminated SrTiO3(001) were studied in situ with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. By controlling the Ti/Sr ratio, two-dimensional domains of highly ordered linear nanostructures,…

Recent studies indicated the interesting metal-to-semiconductor transition when layered bulk GeP3 and SnP3 are restricted to the monolayer or bilayer, and SnP3 monolayer has been predicted to possess high carrier mobility and promising…
