We present trends in the multilayer relaxations of several vicinals of Cu(100) and Cu(111) of varying terrace widths and geometry. The electronic structure calculations are based on density functional theory in the local density…
We propose a model for the description of the transport properties of metallic films on a large scale of slab thickness. This model is based on solving the linearized Boltzmann equation in relaxation-time approximation using {\it ab initio}…
The electronic structure of Co/Cu(001) and Fe/Cr(001) magnetic multilayers has been investigated within the local density approximation combined with dynamical mean field theory. Our calculation shows enhanced density of states at the Fermi…
We calculate the conductivity of arbitrarily stacked multilayer graphene sheets within a relaxation time approximation, considering both short-range and long-range impurities. We theoretically investigate the feasibility of identifying the…
The transport properties on the two-dimensional surface of coupled multilayer heterostructures are studied in the integer quantum Hall states. We emphasize the criticality of the surface state and the phase coherent transport properties in…
Liquid lens coalescence is an important mechanism involved in many industrial and scientific applications. It has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally, yet it is numerically very challenging to obtain consistent results…
Tunneling and Coulomb drag are sensitive probes of spontaneous interlayer phase coherence in bilayer two-dimensional electron systems at total Landau level filling factor $\nu_T = 1$. We find that the phase boundary between the interlayer…
The generation of high magnetic fields requires materials with high electric conductivity and good strength properties. Cu/Nb composites are considered to be good candidates for this purpose. In this work we aim to predict, from theory, the…
Ab initio electronic structure calculations of two-dimensional layered structures are typically performed using codes that were developed for three-dimensional structures, which are periodic in all three directions. The introduction of a…
A theory for conduction electron scattering by inhomogeneous crystal lattice strains is developed, based on the differential geometric treatment of deformations in solids. The resulting fully covariant Schr\"odinger equation shows that the…
Ti/Cu multilayers with periods ranging from 4 to 52.5 nm were synthesized by magnetron sputtering to examine how the period thickness affects morphology, crystallization, texture development, and preservation of periodicity. The structural…
The electronic and transport properties of aluminum-graphene composite materials were investigated using ab initio plane wave density functional theory. The interfacial structure is reported for several configurations. In some cases, the…
We calculate the electronic transport properties of a system which is irradiated by a homogeneous microwave field. Within a Boltzmann equation approach, a general expression for the conductivity tensor is derived and evaluated for a quasi…
Our ab initio calculations of CO adsorption on several low and high miller index surfaces of Cu show that the adsorption energy increases as the coordination of the adsorption site decreases from 11 to 6, in qualitative agreement with…
Geometry incommensurability between weakly coupled shells in multi-walled carbon nanotubes is shown to be the origin of unconventional electronic conduction mechanism, power-law scaling of the conductance, and remarkable magnetotransport…
Macroscopic properties of heterogeneous media are frequently modelled by regular lattice models, which are based on a relatively small basic cluster of lattice sites. Here, we extend one of such models to any cluster's size kxk. We also…
We develop the theory of transverse magnetoresistance in layered quasi-two-dimensional metals. Using the Kubo formula and harmonic expansion, we calculate intralayer conductivity in a magnetic field perpendicular to conducting layers. The…
The electronic structure of the $(2\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{2})R45^{\circ}$ O/Cu(001) system has been calculated using locally self-consistent, real space multiple scattering technique based on first principles. Oxygen atoms are found to perturb…
This paper has two parts. The first part uses a single point of view to discuss the reflection and averaging mechanisms of spin-transfer between current-carrying electrons and the ferromagnetic layers of magnetic/non-magnetic…
We investigate the electronic transport properties of copper-graphene composites using a density-functional framework. Conduction in composites by varying the interface distance of a copper/graphene/copper (Cu/G/Cu) interface models was…
