The search for theoretically predicted Wigner crystal in one-dimensional (1D) wires of structurally disordered materials exhibiting properties of charge-density-waves have remained unsuccessful. Based on the results of a low temperature…

Electronic properties and lattice dynamics of bulk $\varepsilon$-GaSe and mono-, bi- and tri-tetralayer GaSe are investigated by means of density functional and density functional perturbation theory. The few-tetralayers systems are…

High electrical conductance molecular nanowires are highly desirable components for future molecular-scale circuitry, but typically molecular wires act as tunnel barriers and their conductance decays exponentially with length. Here we…

Density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations have been used to optimize the structure of nanowires of SiO2. The starting structures were based on b-cristobalite, orthotridymite, b-tridymite, and rutile crystals. The analysis…

While hydrogen-rich materials have been demonstrated to exhibit high T$_c$ superconductivity at high pressures, there is an ongoing search for ternary and quaternary hydrides that achieve such high critical temperatures at much lower…

Nanomaterials have been actively pursued for biological and medical applications in recent years. Here, we report the synthesis of several new poly(ethylene glycol) grafted branched-polymers for functionalization of various nanomaterials…

We demonstrate an all-epitaxial and scalable growth approach to fabricate single-crystalline GaN nanowires on graphene by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. As substrate, we explore several types of epitaxial graphene layer structures…

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are promising components in future nanoelectronics due to the large mobility of graphene electrons and their tunable electronic band gap in combination with recent experimental developments of on-surface…

We characterize planar electric terahertz metamaterials fabricated on thin, flexible substrates using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Quasi-three-dimensional metamaterials are formed by stacking multiple metamaterial layers.…

The formation of gold nanowires in vacuum at room temperature reveals a periodic spectrum of exceptionally stable diameters. This is identified as shell structure similar to that which was recently discovered for alkali metals at low…

In general, there are two major factors affecting bandgaps in nanostructures: (i) the enhanced electron-electron interactions due to confinement and (ii) the modified self-energy of electrons due to the dielectric screening. While recent…

Electronic structures of graphene sheet with different defective patterns are investigated, based on the first principles calculations. We find that defective patterns can tune the electronic structures of the graphene significantly.…

We study multiband semiconducting nanowires proximity-coupled with an s-wave superconductor and calculate the topological phase diagram as a function of the chemical potential and magnetic field. The non-trivial topological state…

This chapter discusses recent experimental work exploring the optical properties and quantum dynamics of organic semiconductor nanostructures based on squaraine dyes. Squaraines are prototypical quadrupolar charge-transfer chromophores of…

The recent discovery and studies of 1144-phase compounds, e.g., CaKFe$_4$As$_4$, have attracted significant research interest. In this paper, based on the first-principles density functional calculations, we present a systematic study on…

Nanowires have been considered for a number of applications in nanometrology. In such a context, we have explored the possibility of using ultrathin twisted nanowires as torsion nanobalances to probe forces and torques at molecular level…

Electronic band structure and energetic stability of two types of and oriented silicon nanowires in beta-Sn phase with the surface terminated by hydrogen atoms were studied using density functional theory. It was found that beta-Sn…

Germanium nanostructures offer significant potential in developing advanced integrated circuit and disruptive quantum technologies, yet achieving both scalability and high carrier mobility remains a challenge in materials science. Here, we…

A key task in the emerging field of bioelectronics is the transduction between ionic/protonic and electronic signals at high fidelity. This is a considerable challenge since the two carrier types exhibit intrinsically different physics and…

We develop a generalized grand canonical potential for the ballistic nonequilibrium electron distribution in a metal nanowire with a finite applied bias voltage. Coulomb interactions are treated in the self-consistent Hartree approximation,…
