We investigate vibration modes and their Raman activity of single-walled carbon nanotubes that are bent within their intrinsic elastic limits. By implementing novel boundary conditions for density-functional based tight-binding, and using…
In this work, we proposed and investigated the structural and electronic properties of boron-based nanoscrolls (armchair and zigzag) using the DFTB+ method. We also investigated the electroactuation process (injecting and removing charges).…
We study theoretically the impact of Zener tunneling on the charge-transport properties of quasi-metallic (Qm) carbon nanotubes (characterized by forbidden band gaps of few tens of meV). We also analyze the interplay between Zener tunneling…
We consider the $\alpha$-$T_3$ model which provides a smooth crossover between the honeycomb lattice with pseudospin $1/2$ and the dice lattice with pseudospin $1$ through the variation of a parameter $\alpha$. We study the dynamics of a…
The structure and motion of carbon and h-BN nanotubes (NTs) deposited on graphene is inquired theoretically by simulations based on state-of-the-art interatomic force fields. Results show that any typical cylinder-over-surface approximation…
We present a unified treatment of Zitterbewegung phenomena for a wide class of systems including spintronic, graphene, and superconducting systems. We derive an explicit expression for the time-dependence of the position operator of the…
Using the appropriate fractionalization mechanism, we correctly derive the temperature (T) and interaction dependence of the electron lifetime $\tau_F$ in Luttinger liquids. For strong enough interactions, we report that $(T\tau_F)\propto…
We performed studies of coherent electronic transport through a single walled carbon nanotube. In the calculations multiple scattering on the contacts and interference processes were taken into account. Conductance is a composition of…
In this study, using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation, the flow of water in deformed carbon nanotubes is studied for two water models TIP4P/2005 and SPC/FH. The results demonstrated a non-uniform dependence of the flow on the…
The Zitterbewegung phenomenon in multiband electronic systems is known to be subtly related to the charge conductivity, Berry curvature and the Chern number. Here we show that some spin-dependent properties as the optical spin conductivity,…
A new statistical model for the combined effects of decoherence, energy redistribution and dissipation on electron transport in large quantum systems is introduced. The essential idea is to consider the electron phase information to be lost…
Poor screening of the long-range Coulomb interaction in one-dimensional carbon nanotubes results in a peculiar picture of contact phenomena. Being brought to a contact with a metal, conducting nanotube accumulates electric charge whose…
Study of the dephasing in electronic systems is not only important for probing the nature of their ground states, but also crucial to harnessing the quantum coherence for information processing. In contrast to well-studied conventional…
Embedded defects proposed long ago (Z-vortices and Nambu monopoles) have been successfully searched for in 3D equilibrium lattice studies within the standard model near the electroweak phase transition and the crossover (which follows it…
Disorder effects on the density of states in carbon nanotubes are analyzed by a tight binding model with Gaussian bond or site disorder. Metallic armchair and semiconducting zigzag nanotubes are investigated. In the strong disorder limit,…
The high aspect ratio of carbon nanotubes makes them prone to bending. To know how bending affects the tubes is therefore crucial for tube identification and for electrical component design. Very few studies, however, have investigated…
We present an atomistic self-consistent study of the electronic and transport properties of semiconducting carbon nanotube in contact with metal electrodes of different work functions, which shows simultaneous electron and hole doping…
We report a combined theoretical and experimental search for thermoelectric materials based on semiconducting zinc antimony. Influence of three new doping elements (sodium, potassium and boron) on the electronic properties is investigated…
We study the collapsing and subsequent spontaneous twisting of a carbon nanotube by in-situ transmission electron microscopy. A custom-sized nanotube is first created in the microscope by selectively extracting shells from a parent…
In single electron tunneling through clean, suspended carbon nanotube devices at low temperature, distinct switching phenomena have regularly been observed. These can be explained via strong interaction of single electron tunneling and…
