We studied the transport properties of electrons in graphene as they are scattered by a double barrier potential in the presence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field. We computed the transmission coefficient and Goos-H\"anchen like shifts for…
The main features of the conductivity of doped single layer graphene are analyzed, and models for different scattering mechanisms are presented.
Evidence is accumulating for the crucial role of a solid's free electrons in the dynamics of solid-liquid interfaces. Liquids induce electronic polarization and drive electric currents as they flow; electronic excitations, in turn,…
Owing to its two dimensional electronic structure, graphene exhibits many unique properties. One of them is a wave vector and temperature dependent plasmon in the infrared range. Theory predicts that due to these plasmons, graphene can be…
The sensitivity of graphene to the surrounding environment is given by its {\pi} electrons, which are directly exposed to molecules in the ambient. The high sensitivity of graphene to the local environment has shown to be both advantageous…
Compressed hydrogen passes through a series of layered structures in which the layers can be viewed as distorted graphene sheets. The electronic structures of these layered structures can be understood by studying simple model systems- an…
The adsorption and diffusion of hydrogen atoms on Cu(001) are studied using first-principles calculations. By taking into account the contribution of zero-point energy (ZPE), the originally identical barriers are shown to be different for H…
Graphene and few-layer graphene at high bias expose a wealth of phenomena due to the high temperatures reached. With in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) we observe directly how the current modifies the structure, and vice versa.…
Although surface diffusion is critical for many physical and chemical processes, including the epitaxial growth of crystals and heterogeneous catalysis, it is particularly challenging to directly study. Here, we estimate the carbon adatom…
Charge transfer is a fundamental process that underlies a multitude of phenomena in chemistry and biology. Recent advances in observing and manipulating charge and heat transport at the nanoscale, and recently developed techniques for…
The protonic conductivity in the hydrogen bonded chains is investigated theoretically in the framework of the two-stage transport model. The strong interactions with optical phonon stretching mode are considered. We obtain the transition…
We demonstrate the temperature-mediated and completely reversible process of desorption-readsorption of water on a few layers of epitaxial graphene on a 4H-SiC(0001) substrate. We show that under ambient conditions water forms solid…
Graphene quantum dots (GQD) are interesting materials due to the confined sizes which allow to exploit their optoelectronic properties, especially when they interface with organic molecules through physisorption. In particular, when…
We present in this contribution a theoretical investigation of the spontaneous emission and energy transfer rates between quantum systems placed above a monolayer of conducting graphene. The conditions for strong and weak coupling between a…
The point contact of a tunnel tip approaching towards Ag(111) and Cu(111) surfaces is investigated with a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope. A sharp jump-to-contact, random in nature, is observed in the conductance. After point…
Neutron Compton Scattering measurements presented here of the momentum distribution of hydrogen in water at temperatures slightly below freezing to the supercritical phase show a dramatic change in the distribution as the hydrogen bond…
Graphene nanopore based sensor devices are exhibiting the great potential for the detection of DNA. To understand the fundamental aspects of DNA translocating through a graphene nanopore, in this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations…
The transport of water and protons in the cathode catalyst layer (CCL) of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells is critical for cell performance, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Herein, the ionomer structure and the…
The electrical transport properties of epitaxial graphene layers are correlated with the SiC surface morphology. In this study we show by atomic force microscopy and Raman measurements that the surface morphology and the structure of the…
Graphene sustains transverse out-of-plane mechanical vibrations (flexural phonons). At the nanometer scale, these appear as travelling ripples, or cavities, if excited in counter-phase in alternate multilayers. In this work we explore by…
