We investigate linear and nonlinear transport in interacting single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) that are weakly attached to ferromagnetic leads. For the reduced density matrix of a SWCNT quantum dot, equations of motion which account for…

We theoretically investigate the spin-charge transport in two-terminal device of graphene nanoribbons in the presence of an uniform uniaxial strain, spin-orbit coupling, exchange field and smooth staggered potential. We show that the…

We consider a nanoelectromechanical weak link composed of a carbon nanotube suspended above a trench in a normal metal electrode and positioned in a gap between two superconducting leads. The nanotube is treated as a movable single-level…

At dry and clean material junctions of rigid materials the corrugation of the sliding energy landscape is dominated by variations of Pauli repulsions. These occur when electron clouds centered around atoms in adjacent layers overlap as they…

Control of transport processes in composite microstructures is critical to the development of high performance functional materials for a variety of energy storage applications. The fundamental process of conduction and its control through…

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we predict an effect of chirality on the conduction of benzene molecules along the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) subjected to a thermal gradient. The group drift velocity of the molecules is found…

The conductance, $G(E)$, through graphene nanoribbons (GNR) connected to a partially unzipped carbon nanotube (CNT) is studied in the presence of an external magnetic field applied parallel to the long axis of the tube by means of…

Durotaxis motion is a spectacular phenomenon manifesting itself by the autonomous motion of a nano-object between parts of a substrate with different stiffness. This motion usually takes place along a stiffness gradient from softer to…

Dynamics of topological magnetic textures are typically induced externally by, e.g.~magnetic fields or spin/charge currents. Here, we demonstrate the effect of the internal-to-the-system geometry-induced motion of a domain wall in a curved…

Graphene/carbon-nanotube (CNT) hybrid material can be useful in energy storage and nanoelectronic technologies. Here we address the CNT-oscillator encapsulated in a graphene-nanoribbon (GNR) trench as a novel design, and investigate its…

The current study presents the natural vibrations of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using the nonlocal theory of elasticity. The study will help to develop nanodevices. The study focuses on the natural vibrations of curved or…

This contribution reports on comparative studies on giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoribbons of similar aspect ratios (i.e perimeter/length and width/length ratios, for the former and the latter,…

A mechanically bistable single-walled carbon nanotube can act as a variable-shaped capacitor with a voltage-controlled transition between collapsed and inflated states. This external control parameter provides a means to tune the system so…

The possibility for double-wall carbon nanotube to operate as the bolt and nut pair is studied. The barriers for relative motions of walls along the helical "thread" line and for jumps on neighbour helical lines are calculated as functions…

Fibres of ultralong and aligned carbon nanotubes (CNT) have axial properties above reference engineering materials, proving to be exceptional materials for application in structural composites, energy storage and other devices. For CNT…

Interplay between structure and function in atomically thin crystalline nanoribbons is sensitive to their conformations yet the ability to prescribe them is a formidable challenge. Here, we report a novel paradigm for controlled nucleation…

We show how hydrogenation of graphene nanoribbons at small concentrations can open new venues towards carbon-based spintronics applications regardless of any especific edge termination or passivation of the nanoribbons. Density functional…

Optical nanofibers are waveguides known for their unique property to produce intense evanescent fields which have subwavelength transverse confinement easily extendable over thousands of wavelengths along the fiber axis. Moreover,…

The mechanical properties of the so-called `super' carbon nanotubes (STs) are investigated using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The STs are built from single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) connected by Y-like junctions forming…
