Atomically thin MoS2 has recently emerged as a very attractive material for nanoscale optoelectronic devices. While n-type transport in MoS2 devices has been demonstrated, hole conduction has been more challenging. Here we show…

We study the collapsing and subsequent spontaneous twisting of a carbon nanotube by in-situ transmission electron microscopy. A custom-sized nanotube is first created in the microscope by selectively extracting shells from a parent…

A microscopic physical analysis of the various resistive effects involved in the electronic detection of single biomolecules in a nanopore of a MoS2 nanoribbon is presented. The analysis relies on a combined experimental-theoretical…

Altermagnetism has been widely explored in 3D and 2D crystals, but its one-dimensional realization remains largely unexplored. Here we propose an altermagnetic nanotube formed by rolling a 2D altermagnet, which converts momentum-odd spin…

We combine ab initio, tight-binding methods and analytical theory to study piezoelectric effect of boron nitride nanotubes. We find that piezoelectricity of a heteropolar nanotube depends on its chirality and diameter and can be understood…

We demonstrate an optically active nanotube-hybrid material by functionalizing single-wall nanotubes with an azo-based chromophore. Upon UV illumination, the conjugated chromophore undergoes a cis-trans isomerization leading to a charge…

{\it Ab initio} density functional theory calculations are performed to investigate the electronic structure of MoS$_2$ armchair nanoribbons in the presence of an external static electric field. Such nanoribbons, which are nonmagnetic and…

The changes of dynamical behaviour of a single fullerene molecule inside an armchair carbon nanotube caused by the structural Peierls transition in the nanotube are considered. The structures of the smallest C20 and Fe@C20 fullerenes are…

Nanoscale resonators that oscillate at high frequencies are useful in many measurement applications. We studied a high-quality mechanical resonator made from a suspended carbon nanotube driven into motion by applying a periodic radio…

The magnetic switching of ferromagnetic nanotubes is investigated as a function of their geometry. Two independent methods are used: Numerical simulations and analytical calculations. It is found that for long tubes the reversal of…

Piezoelectricity offers precise and robust conversion between electricity and mechanical force. Here we report the first experimental evidence of piezoelectricity in a single layer of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) crystal as a result of…

Piezoelectricity appears in the inversion asymmetric crystal that converts mechanical deformational force to electricity. Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcolgenide (TMDC) monolayers exhibit the piezoelectric effect due to the…

We report on the modulation of tunneling resistance in MoS2 monolayers by nano-indentation using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The resistance between the conductive AFM tip and the bottom electrode separated by a monolayer MoS2 is…

We consider a quasi one-dimensional configuration consisting of two small pieces of ferromagnetic material separated by a metallic one and contacted by two metallic leads. A spin-polarized current is injected from one lead. Our goal is to…

We develop and solve a continuum theory for the piezoelectric response of one dimensional nanotubes and nanowires, and apply the theory to study electromechanical effects in BN nanotubes. We find that the polarization of a nanotube depends…

We develop and solve a continuum theory for the piezoelectric response of nanotubes under applied uniaxial and torsional stresses. We find that the piezoelectric response is controlled by the chiral angle, the aspect ratio, and two…

The ability to control the conductance of single molecules will have a major impact in nanoscale electronics. Azobenzene, a molecule that changes conformation as a result of a trans/cis transition when exposed to radiation, could form the…

In Co-nanotubes with a curling magnetization, the orbital motion of the conduction electrons interacts with their spin. We predict that the (absolute) value of the magnetic energy of the spin is strongly reduced. The new precession axis for…

We report piezoelectric response in liquid phase exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets with desired structure and morphology. The piezoelectric effect in liquid phase exfoliated few layers of MoS2 flakes is interesting as it may allow the scalable…

The phenomenon of a partial 2H\rightarrow1T phase transition within multiwalled WS2 nanotubes under substitutional Rhenium doping is discovered by means of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Using density-functional…
