Electronic and topological properties of materials are derived from the interplay between crystalline symmetry and dimensionality. Simultaneously introducing 'forbidden' symmetries via quasiperiodic ordering with low-dimensionality into a…
The electronic structure and optical properties of metallic nanoshells are investigated using a jellium model and the Time Dependent Local Density Approximation (TDLDA). An efficient numerical implementation enables applications to…
Binary carbides demonstrate attractive set of physical properties that are suitable for numerous and diverse applications. In the present study, we have explored the structural properties, electronic structures, elastic constants, acoustic…
The crystal structure of potassium doped picene with an exact stoichiometry (K3C22H14, K3picene from here onwards) has been theoretically determined within Density Functional Theory allowing complete variational freedom of the crystal…
Antimony shows promise as a two-dimensional (2D) mono-elemental crystal, referred to as antimonene. When exposed to ambient conditions, antimonene layers react with oxygen, forming new crystal structures, leading significant changes in…
Low-buckled silicene, germanene, and stanene are group$-IV$ graphene allotropes. They form a honeycomb lattice out of two interpenetrating ($A$ and $B$) triangular sublattices that are vertically separated by a small distance $\Delta_z$.…
Mechanical properties of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are relevant to their prospective applications in flexible electronics. So far, the focus has been on the semiconducting TMDCs, mostly MoX2 and WX2 (X=S, Se) due to their…
Recent experimental reports on the realizations of two-dimensional (2D) networks of the C60-based fullerenes with anisotropic and nanoporous lattices represent a significant advance, and create exciting prospects for the development of a…
The electronic structure of plutonium metal and its compounds pose a grand challenge for a fundamental understanding of the Pu-5$f$ electron character. For 30 years the plutonium chalcogenides have been especially challenging, and multiple…
Materials with reduced dimensionality offer beneficial density-of-states (DOS) profiles for thermoelectric energy conversion, but can be impractical in realistic devices. Encouragingly, bulk high-symmetry materials can also exhibit similar…
First-principles studies of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides have contributed considerably to the understanding of their dielectric, optical, elastic, and vibrational properties. The majority of works to date focus on a…
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising for two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting devices and novel phenomena. For 2D applications, their work function, ionization energy, and electron affinity are required as a function of…
We investigate the electronic properties of sculpturenes, formed by sculpting selected shapes from bilayer graphene, boron-nitride or graphene-boron-nitride hetero-bilayers and allowing the shapes to spontaneously reconstruct. The simplest…
Borophene (two-dimensional boron sheet) is a new type of two-dimensional material, which was recently grown successfully on single crystal Ag substrates. In this paper, we investigate the electronic structure and bonding characteristics of…
We propose a new paradigm of electronic devices based only on two electrodes separated by a gap, i.e. without any functional element bridging them. We use a tight-binding model to show that, depending on the type of material of the…
An overview is given of recent advances in experimental and theoretical understanding of optical properties of ultra-thin crystal structures (graphene, phosphorene, silicene, MoS2, MoSe2 , WS2 , WSe2 , h-AlN, h-BN, fluorographene,…
The traditional display of elements in the periodic table is convenient for the study of chemistry and physics. However, the atomic number alone is insufficient for training statistical machine learning models to describe and extract…
In the present work, the electronic and vibrational properties of both pristine V$_2$C and fully-terminated V$_2$CT$_2$ (where T = F, O, OH) 2D monolayers are investigated using density functional theory. Firstly, the atomic structures of…
The book includes all main physical properties of d- and f-transition-metal systems and corresponding theoretical concepts. Especial attention is paid to the theory of magnetism and transport phenomena. Some examples of non-traditional…
We investigate the electronic and optical properties of lateral heterostructures made of alternated armchair ribbons of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride. It is known that the gapwidth of these heterostructures can be classified into…
