Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) is becoming a popular particle based method to study flow through microchannels due to the ease with which the presence of biological cells or DNA chains can be modeled. Many Lab-On-Chip (LOC) devices…
Nanopores of nanometer-size holes are very promising devices for many applications: DNA sequencing, sensory, biosensoring and molecular detectors, catalysis and water desalination. These applications require accurate control over nanopores…
Epitaxial growth of graphene on transition metal substrates is an important route for obtaining large scale graphene. However, the interaction between graphene and the substrate often leads to multiple orientations, distorted graphene band…
We demonstrate that graphene placed on top of structured substrates offers a novel approach for trapping and guiding surface plasmons. A monolayer graphene with a spatially varying curvature exhibits an effective trapping potential for…
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have shown unparalleled achievements in numerous applications, reflecting their proficiency in managing vast data sets. Yet, their static structure limits their adaptability in ever-changing environments. This…
Graphene nanochannels are relevant for their possible applications, as in water purification, and for the challenge of understanding how they change the properties of confined liquids. Here, we use all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to…
Based on first-principles calculations we predict a peculiar growth process, where carbon adatoms adsorbed to graphene readily diffuse above room temperature and nucleate segments of linear carbon chains attached to graphene. These chains…
