This paper presents a shape optimisation system to design the shape of an acoustically-hard object in the three-dimensional open space. Boundary element method (BEM) is suitable to analyse such an exterior field. However, the conventional…
Electronic image states around segmented carbon nanotubes can be confined and shaped along the nanotube axis by engineering the image potential. We show how several such image states can be prepared simultaneously along the same nanotube.…
Electron microscopes have been improved to achieve ever smaller beam spots, a key parameter that determines the instrument's resolution. The techniques to measure the size of the beam, however, have not progressed to the same degree. There…
The paper presents the Isogeometric Boundary Element Method (IGABEM) algorithm for solving the plane strain problem of an isotropic linearly elastic matrix containing an open material surface of arbitrary shape. Theoretical developments are…
Carbon nanotubes are excellent nano-electromechanical systems, combining high resonance frequency, low mass, and large zero-point motion. At cryogenic temperatures they display high mechanical quality factors. Equally they are outstanding…
We present a coupling of the Finite Element and the Boundary Element Method in an isogeometric framework to approximate either two-dimensional Laplace interface problems or boundary value problems consisting in two disjoint domains. We…
We derive upper bounds to free-space concentration of electromagnetic waves, mapping out the limits to maximum intensity for any spot size and optical beam-shaping device. For sub-diffraction-limited optical beams, our bounds suggest the…
In structural optimization, both parameters and shape are relevant for the model performance. Yet, conventional optimization techniques usually consider either parameters or the shape separately. This work addresses this problem by…
Coupling carbon nanotube devices to microwave circuits offers a significant increase in bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. These facilitate fast non-invasive readouts important for quantum information processing, shot noise and…
In a recent paper Liang {\it et al.} [Nature {\bf 411}, 665 (2001)] showed experimentally, that metallic nanotubes, strongly coupled to external electrodes, may act as coherent molecular waveguides for electronic transport. The experimental…
Carbon nanotubes are the focus of considerable research efforts due to their fascinating physical properties. They provide an excellent model system for the study of one dimensional materials and molecular electronics. The chirality of…
The structure and transport of electrolytes in nanoscale channels are known to be affected by the electronic properties of the confining walls. This influence is particularly pronounced in quasi-one-dimensional nanotubes, where the high…
We report on the application of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) for studying the Field Emission (FE) properties of a dense array of long and vertically quasi-aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes grown by catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition…
We propose the combination of forward shape derivatives and the use of an iterative inversion scheme for Bayesian optimization to find optimal designs of nanophotonic devices. This approach widens the range of applicability of Bayesian…
Interaction-induced magnetism at the ends of carbon nanotubes is studied theoretically, with a special focus on magnetic anisotropies. Spin-orbit coupling, generally weak in ordinary graphene, is strongly enhanced in nanotubes. In…
The formation of graphen-nanotube composites addresses a few basic problems. First, both partners are good donors and acceptors of electrons, which significantly complicates the intermolecular interaction between them leading to a two-well…
The interactions of charged particles with carbon nanotubes may excite electromagnetic modes in the electron gas produced in the cylindrical graphene shell constituting the nanotube wall. This wake effect has recently been proposed as a…
We present an effective medium theory in order to analyze the reported optical properties of aligned carbon nanotube films (W.A. de Heer et al., Science 268, 845 (1995)). This methodology is based on photonic band structure calculations and…
In this report, we discuss whether the optimal electric field to promote the growth of armchair- type nanotubes (metallic character) evaluated using the previous Huckel-Poisson method can be applied at the tip of a nanotube in a realistic…
Elastic sheets with macroscopic dimensions are easy to deform by bending and stretching. Yet shaping nanometric sheets by mechanical manipulation is hard. Here we show that nanoparticle self-assembly could be used to this end. We…
