We report the results of \textit{ab initio} simulations of the electronic properties of a chain of C$_{60}$ molecules encapsulated in a boron nitride nanotube - so called BN-nanopeapod. It is demonstrated that this structure can be…
Electron-doped and hole-doped superconducting cuprates exhibit a symmetric phase diagram as a function of doping. This symmetry is however only approximate. Indeed, electron-doped cuprates become superconductors only after a specific…
