Aiming to improve fabrication protocols for boron nitride and graphene (h-BNG) lateral heterostructures, we studied the growth of h-BNG thin films on platinum and their behavior in an oxygen environment. We employed a surface science…

Single wall carbon nanotubes cooled to cryogenic temperatures are outstanding electronic as well as nano-electromechanical model systems. To probe a largely unperturbed system, we measure a suspended carbon-nanotube device where the…

The material and electrical properties of the CNT single vias and array vias grown by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition were investigated. The diameters of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) grown on the bottom electrode…

We have measured the differential conductance dI/dV of individual multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) of different lengths. A cross-over from wire-like (long tubes) to dot-like (short tubes) behavior is observed. dI/dV is dominated by random…

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has recently gained attention as a solid state host of quantum emitters. However, hBN emitters reported to date lack the properties needed for their deployment in scalable quantum technologies. Here we employ…

We have explored the low-temperature linear and non-linear electrical conductance $G$ of metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which were grown by the chemical-vapor deposition method. The high transparency of the contacts allows to study these…

$\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ is gaining attention as a promising semiconductor for next-generation high-power, high-efficiency, and high-temperature electronic devices, thanks to its exceptional material properties. However, challenges such as the…

In this article, we report the results of relatively facile fabrication of carbon nanodots from single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT and MWCNT). The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman measurements…

We report the realization of nanotube-based quantum dot structures that use local electrostatic gating to produce individually controllable dots in series along a nanotube. Electrostatic top-gates produce depletion regions in the underlying…

We experimentally demonstrate laser-driven deposition of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in suspended core fibers (SCFs) for the first time. Two samples for each SCF type with three (SCF1) and four (SCF2) air holes are individually…

Transistors incorporating single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the channel material are used in a variety of electronics applications. However, a competitive CNT-based technology requires the precise placement of CNTs at predefined…

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a tantalizing material for solid-state quantum engineering. Analogously to three-dimensional wide-bandgap semiconductors like diamond, h-BN hosts isolated defects exhibiting visible fluorescence, and the…

Single photon emitters in solid-state crystals have received a lot of attention as building blocks for numerous quantum technology applications. Fluorescent defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) stand out due to their high luminosity and…

We report a first-principles study, which demonstrates that a single Ti atom coated on a single-walled nanotube (SWNT) binds up to four hydrogen molecules. The first H$_2$ adsorption is dissociative with no energy barrier while other three…

Using first principles calculations, we model the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on nanoparticles of late transition (Ni, Pd, Pt) and coinage (Cu, Ag, Au) metals. The process is analyzed in terms of the…

Physisorption studies and transmission electron microscopy have been used to characterise multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) made by a template-synthesis technique. Microscopic investigations revealed formation of 'branched nanotubes'…

The electrolysis of CO$_2$ in molten carbonate has been introduced as an alternative mechanism to synthesize carbon nanomaterials inexpensively at high yield. Until recently, CO$_2$ was thought to be unreactive, making its removal a…

Ferromagnetic contacts are widely used to inject spin polarized currents into non-magnetic materials such as semiconductors or 2-dimensional materials like graphene. In these systems, oxidation of the ferromagnetic materials poses an…

We report on low temperature measurements in a fully tunable carbon nanotube double quantum dot. A new fabrication technique has been used for the top-gates in order to avoid covering the whole nanotube with an oxide layer as in previous…

Carbon nanotube (CNT) fibres are firmly established as a new high-performance fibre, but their tensile mechanical properties remain a relatively small fraction of those of the constituent CNTs. Clear structure-property relations and…
