We demonstrate that the conventional application of linear models to the analysis of optoelectromechanical properties of nanostructures in bandstructure engineering could be inadequate. The focus of the present paper is on a model based on…
We study the electronic properties of GaAs nanowires composed of both the zincblende and wurtzite modifications using a ten-band k.p model. In the wurtzite phase, two energetically close conduction bands are of importance for the…
A multiband empirical tight-binding model for group-III-nitride semiconductors with a wurtzite structure has been developed and applied to both bulk systems and embedded quantum dots. As a minimal basis set we assume one s-orbital and three…
Semiconductor nanowhiskers made of III-V compounds exhibit great potential for technological applications. Controlling the growth conditions, such as temperature and diameter, it is possible to alternate between zinc blend and wurtzite…
In the framework of four-band envelope-function formalism, developed earlier for spherical semiconductor nanocrystals, we study the electronic structure and optical properties of quantum-confined lead-salt (PbSe and PbS) nanowires (NWs)…
Lattice reconstruction in twisted transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) bilayers gives rise to piezo- and ferroelectric moir\'e potentials for electrons and holes, as well as a modulation of the hybridisation across the bilayer. Here, we…
Studies of moire systems have elucidated the exquisite effect of quantum geometry on the electronic bands and their properties, leading to the discovery of new correlated phases. However, most experimental studies have been confined to a…
A mismatch of atomic registries between single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in a two dimensional van der Waals heterostructure produces a moir\'e superlattice with a periodic potential, which can be fine-tuned by…
Mechanical properties, atomic and energy band structures of bare and hydrogen passivated Si$_{n}$Ge$_{n}$ nanowire superlattices have been investigated by using first-principles pseudopotential plane wave method. Undoped, tetrahedral Si and…
Based on first-principles calculations we showed that superlattices of periodically repeated junctions of hydrogen saturated silicon nanowire segments having different lengths and diameters form multiple quantum well structures. The band…
In this work we study a two-band model of a superconductor in a square lattice. One band is narrow in energy and includes local Coulomb correlations between its quasi-particles. Pairing occurs in this band due to nearest neighbor attractive…
The increasing interest of nanowhiskers for technological applications has led to the observation of the zinc-blend/wurtzite polytypism. Polytypic nanowhiskers could also play, by their characteristics, an important role on the design of…
We explore multiband effects on d-wave superconducting instabilities driven by electron-electron interactions. Our models on the two-dimensional square lattice consist of a main band with an extended Fermi surface and predominant weight…
Crystal phase semiconductor heterostructures allow for electron confinement without uncertainties caused by chemical intermixing found in material heterostructures and are candidates for next generation optoelectronics devices ranging from…
Wurtzite LaN (wz-LaN) is a semiconducting nitride with favorable piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties, making it promising for applications in electronics. We use first-principles density functional theory with a hybrid functional to…
A mechanism of superconductivity is proposed for the Kondo lattice which has semi-metallic conduction bands with electron and hole Fermi surfaces. At high temperatures, the $f$ electron's localized spins/pseudospins are fluctuating between…
We have studied the three-band Peierls-Hubbard model describing the Cu-O layers in high-T$_c$ superconductors by using Lanczos diagonalization and assuming infinite mass for the ions. When the system is doped with one hole, and when the…

Electronic structure properties of nanowires (NW) with diameters of 1.5 nm and 3 nm based on semimetallic $\alpha$-Sn are investigated by employing density functional theory and perturbative $GW$ methods. We explore the dependence of…
Novel materials with large electro-optic (EO) coefficients are essential for developing ultra-compact broadband modulators and enabling effective quantum transduction. Compared to lithium niobate, the most widely used nonlinear optical…
