Replacing lithium ions with sodium ions as the charge carriers in rechargeable batteries can induce noticeable differences in the electrochemical storage mechanisms of electrode materials. Many material parameters, such as particle size,…
Others have solved the Schr\"odinger equation to estimate the tunneling current between two electrodes at specified potentials, or the transmission through a potential barrier, assuming that an incident wave causes one reflected wave and…
Lithium-sulfur technology garners significant interest due to sulfur's higher specific capacity, cost-effectiveness, and environmentally friendly aspects. However, sulfur's insulating nature and poor cycle life hinder practical application.…
Bandstructure effects in the electronic transport of strongly quantized silicon nanowire field-effect-transistors (FET) in various transport orientations are examined. A 10-band sp3d5s* semi-empirical atomistic tight-binding model coupled…
Solution processed field-effect transistors based on single crystalline silicon nanowires (Si NWs) with metal Schottky contacts are demonstrated. The semiconducting layer was deposited from a nanowire ink formulation at room temperature.…
The precise energy level alignment between a metal electrode and an organic semiconductor is required to reduce contact resistance and enhance the efficiency of organic-semiconductor-based devices. One of the ways is to include interlayers…
We study ab initio computations of the interaction of Lithium with a strong laser field. Numerical solutions of the time-dependent fully-correlated three-particle Schroedinger equation restricted to the one-dimensional soft-core…
Scandium-doped aluminum nitride has recently emerged as a promising material for quantum photonic integrated circuits (PICs) due to its unique combination of strong second-order nonlinearity, ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, and…
It is shown that continuously occurring electrolyte-reduction reaction on freshly-exposed electrode surfaces during lithiation/delithiation cycles causes the lowering of cycling efficiency, and hence, capacity fade in well-cycled silicon…
We present a study of the structure and differential capacitance of electric double layers of aqueous electrolytes. We consider Electric Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC) composed of spherical cations and anions in a dielectric continuum…
Quantum dots (QDs), embedded in supercapacitors (S-C) cells exhibited capacitance amplification that peaked at certain QD concentration. More than 2.5 peak amplification was demonstrated with cyclic voltammetry (C-V) at a scan rate of 0.1…
Highly conductive solid electrolytes are one key component for the development of safe and high-power all-solid-state batteries. Enormous progress has been achieved in the field of lithium solid electrolytes. Meanwhile, their ion…
When two electrode open-circuit potentials form a full-cell OCV (open-circuit voltage) model, cell-level SOH (state of health) parameters related to LLI (loss of lithium inventory) and LAM (loss of active materials) naturally appear. Such…
Quantum dots tuned to atomic resonances represent an emerging field of hybrid quantum systems where the advantages of quantum dots and natural atoms can be combined. Embedding quantum dots in nanowires boosts these systems with a set of…
After making a cold weld by pressing two clean metal surfaces together, upon gradually separating the two pieces a metallic nanowire is formed, which progressively thins down to a single atom before contact is lost. In previous experiments…
Using Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) as an optical probe we demonstrate the presence of free carriers in phosphorus doped silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) embedded in a silica matrix. In small SiNCs, with radius ranging from 2.6 to…
Conducting nanowires possess remarkable physical properties unattainable in bulk materials. However our understanding of their transport properties is limited by the difficulty of connecting them electrically. In this Letter we investigate…
In this paper we compare different force fields that are widely used (Gromacs, Charmm-22/x-Plor, Charmm-27, Amber-1999, OPLS-AA) in biophysical simulations containing aqueous NaCl. We show that the uncertainties of the microscopic…
We reveal the visible influence of the ultra-small concentrations (1 wt.% or less) of the BaTiO3 nanoparticles (average size 24 nm) on the current-voltage characteristics and capacitance of the dielectric liquid crystal (LC) 5CB. The pure…
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries offer a promising alternative to current lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, with a high theoretical energy density, improved safety and high abundance, low cost of materials. For Li-S to reach commercial…
