Electron transport in graphene under a laser-modulated barrier is studied in the presence of an energy gap, a scalar potential, and a uniaxial zigzag strain. The transfer-matrix approach is used with the boundary conditions to derive the…
Halide perovskites have outstanding photovoltaic properties which have been optimized through interfacial engineering. However, as these materials approach the limits imposed by the physics of semiconductor junctions, it is urgent to…
Grain boundaries (GBs) are ubiquitous in polycrystalline graphene materials obtained by various growth methods. It has been shown previously that considerable electrical transport gap can be opened by grain boundaries. On the other hand,…
Low ambient temperatures significantly reduce Lithium ion batteries' (LIBs') charge/discharge power and energy capacity, and cause rapid degradation through lithium plating. These limitations can be addressed by preheating the LIB with an…
The ongoing efforts to optimize Li-ion batteries led to the interest in intercalation of nanoscale layered compounds, including bilayer graphene. Its lithium intercalation has been demonstrated recently but the mechanisms underpinning the…
Silver interlayers have been shown to enable smooth lithium deposition and cycling in anode-free solid-state batteries. Here, we report the atomic structure of the Ag and Li interface, showing that Li preferentially plates as FCC on both…
Cathode particle fracture is widely recognised as a major degradation mechanism in lithium-ion batteries, yet cracking also permits electrolyte wetting of newly exposed internal surfaces, modifying interfacial reaction pathways. The…

Bilayer graphene is a highly tunable material: not only can one tune the Fermi energy using standard gates, as in single-layer graphene, but the band structure can also be modified by external perturbations such as transverse electric…
Bilayer graphene is a promising material for radio-frequency transistors because its energy gap might result in a better current saturation than the monolayer graphene. Because the great deal of interest in this technology, especially for…
Li$_xTM$O$_2$ (TM={Ni, Co, Mn}) are promising cathodes for Li-ion batteries, whose electrochemical cycling performance is strongly governed by crystal structure and phase stability as a function of Li content at the atomistic scale. Here,…
