Controllable doping in AlN and its alloys is essential for deep-ultraviolet light sources. Ionization energies for donors in AlN ($\mathrm{Si_{Al}}$, $\mathrm{S_N}$, $\mathrm{Se_N}$) are high. We report first-principles calculations…
Ternary intermetallic half-Heusler (HH) compounds (XYZ) with 18 valence electron count viz. ZrCoSb, ZrNiSn, and ZrPdSn, have revealed promising thermoelectric properties. Exemplarily, it has been experimentally observed that a slight change…
Using the non-equilibrium Green's functions formalism in a tight binding model, the spin-dependent transport in armchair graphene nanoribbon (GNR) structures controlled by a ferromagnetic gate is investigated. Beyond the oscillatory…
A theoretical model of a single molecule coupled to many vibronic modes is presented. At low energies, transport is dominated by electron-vibron processes where transfer of an electron through the dot is accompanied by the…

Our predictions, based on density-functional calculations, reveal that surface doping of ZnO nanowires with Bi leads to a linear-in-$k$ splitting of the conduction-band states, through spin-orbit interaction, due to the lowering of the…
This work presents the electronic and transport properties of bilayer borophene nanoribbons. In the first part, a four-orbital tight-binding model is derived by fitting the \emph{ab initio} band structure. The transport properties of…
We study thermoelectric devices where a single 18-annulene molecule is connected to metallic zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNR) via highly transparent contacts that allow for injection of evanescent wave functions from ZGNRs into the…
We show by first-principles calculations that the electronic properties of zigzag graphene nanoribbons (Z-GNRs) adsorbed on Si(001) substrate strongly depend on ribbon width and adsorption orientation. Only narrow Z-GNRs with even rows of…
Two-dimensional polyaniline sheet has been recently synthesized and found that it is a semiconductor with indirect band gap. Polyaniline nanoribbons decomposed from two-dimensional polyaniline sheet (C3N sheet) are investigated using…
In this paper, we investigate how two on-side doped impurities with net magnetic moments in an edge chain of a zigzag phosphorene nanoribbon~(zPNR) can be entangled by scattering of the traveling edge-state electrons. To this end, in the…
The simple Hubbard Hamiltonian with the mean field approximation is used to know about the energy bands and spin susceptibilities of zigzag graphene nanoribbons. Depending on the electron doping, antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic…
It is known that there is a wide class of quasi-two-dimensional graphenelike nanomaterials which in many respects can outperform graphene. So, here in addition to graphene, the attention is directed to stanene (buckled honeycomb structure)…
Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are a promising thermoelectric material with high power factors after chemical p- or n-doping. Understanding the impact of dopant counterions on charge transport and thermoelectric…
In this study, we investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of graphane nanoribbons. We find that zigzag and armchair graphane nanoribbons with H-passivated edges are nonmagnetic semiconductors. While bare armchair ribbons are also…
Adiabatic quantum charge pumping in graphene nanoribbon double barrier structures with armchair and zigzag edges in the resonant transmission regime is analyzed. Using recursive Green's function method we numerically calculate the pumped…
Based on systematic first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) simulations, we predict that the zigzag GaN nanoribbons (ZGaNNR) can be used both as highly efficient CO detectors as well as spin filters. Our calculations performed both…
Using a continuum Dirac theory, we study the density and spin response of zigzag edge terminated graphene ribbons subjected to edge potentials and Zeeman fields. Our analytical calculations of the density and spin responses of the closed…
We investigate the interplay between the edge and bulk states, induced by the Rashba spin-orbit coupling, in a zigzag silicene nanoribbon in the presence of an external electric field. The interplay can be divided into two kinds, one is the…
Towards spin selective electronics made of three coordinated carbon atoms, here we computationally propose robust and reversibly bias driven evolution of pristine undoped graphene nano-ribbons(GNR) into ferromagnetic-semiconductor, metal or…
