Relative out of plane displacements of the constituent layers of two dimensional materials gives rise to unique low frequency breathing modes. By computing the height-height correlation functions in momentum space, we show that, the layer…
Recent observation of diminishing superfluid phase stiffness upon increasing carrier density in cuprate high-temperature superconductors is unexpected from the quantum density-phase conjugation of superfluidity. Here, through analytic…
We theoretically investigate the electronic structures of moir\'{e} superlattices arising in monolayer / bilayer graphene stacked on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) in presence and absence of magnetic field. We develop an effective continuum…
Using density functional theory combined with a Green's function scattering approach, we examine the thermoelectric properties of hetero-nanoribbons formed from alternating lengths of graphene and boron nitride. In such structures, the…
The possibility to control electrokinetic transport through carbon and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanotubes has recently opened new avenues for nanofluidic approaches to face outstanding challenges such as energy production and…
This paper studies the lubricating properties of graphene on randomly rough Au surfaces in sliding nanofriction using molecular dynamics. It is shown that the friction and the consequent heat dissipation decrease more than an order of…
We have realized multifacet Josephson junctions with periodically alternating critical current density (MJJs) using superconductor-insulator-ferromagnet-superconductor heterostructures. We show that anomalous features of critical current…
Hexagonal boron nitride sheets have been noted especially for their enhanced properties as substrates for sp2 carbon-based nanodevices. To evaluate whether such enhanced properties would remain under various realistic conditions, we…
We report a double-layer electronic system made of two closely-spaced but electrically isolated graphene monolayers sandwiched in boron nitride. For large carrier densities in one of the layers, the adjacent layer no longer exhibits a…
Two-dimensional materials are characterised by a number of unique physical properties which can potentially make them useful to a wide diversity of applications. In particular, the large thermal conductivity of graphene and hexagonal boron…
The moir\'e superlattice induced in graphene by the hexagonal boron nitride substrate modifies strongly the bandstructure of graphene, which manifests itself by the appearance of new Dirac points, accompanied by van Hove singularities. In…
The frequency exponent of 1/f noise in graphene-boron nitride heterostructures is known to have multiple extrema in its dependence on the charge carrier concentration. This behavior is explained in the present paper as a result of the…
We study the nonlinear optical properties of heterojunctions made of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) consisting of two segments with either the same or different topological properties. By utilizing a quantum mechanical approach that…
Traditional laws of friction believe that the friction coefficient of two specific solids takes constant value. However, molecular simulations revealed that the friction coefficient of nanosized asperity depends strongly on contact size and…
In the case of Li-intercalated hexagonal boron nitride bilayer (Li-hBN), the vertex corrections of electron-phonon interaction cannot be omitted. This is evidenced by the very high value of the ratio $\lambda\omega_{D}/\varepsilon_{F}\sim…
First-principles calculations reveal that sodium boride (NaB3) undergoes a phase transition from a tetragonal P4/mbm phase to an orthorhombic Pbam phase at about 16 GPa, accompanied by counterintuitive lattice expansion along the…
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a prominent member in the growing family of two-dimensional materials with potential applications ranging from being an atomically smooth support for other 2D materials to templating growth of molecular…
Among the recognized sources of decoherence in superconducting qubits, the spatial inhomogeneity of the superconducting state and the possible presence of magnetic-flux vortices remain comparatively underexplored. Niobium is commonly used…
Second-order nonlinear optical response allows to detect different properties of the system associated with the inversion symmetry breaking. Here, we use a second harmonic generation effect to investigate the alignment of a…
Monolayer-thick hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is grown on graphene on SiC(0001), by exposure of the graphene to borazine, (BH)3(NH)3, at 1100 C. The h-BN films form ~2-micrometer size grains with a preferred orientation of 30 degrees…
