The thermoelectric properties of two typical SiGe nanotubes are investigated using a combination of density functional theory, Boltzmann transport theory, and molecular dynamics simulations. Unlike carbon nanotubes, these SiGe nanotubes…

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…

Response of a single-walled carbon nanotube to external electric field, F, is calculated analytically within the classical electrostatics. Field-induced charge density distribution is approximately linear along the axis of metallic nanotube…

We propose a simple approach to construct a quantum-dot and it's electrodes using chiral metallic single walled carbon nanotube (CM-SWCNT) segments of exactly opposite chiralities $(m,n)$ and $(n,m)$. The degree and energetics of electron…

Employing density functional theory based calculations, we investigate structural, vibrational and strain-dependent electronic properties of an ultra-thin CdTe crystal structure that can be de- rived from its bulk counterpart. It is found…

We theoretically estimate the electron-phonon coupling constant lambda for metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes with a diameter of 1.4 nm. The partial electron-phonon coupling constant for the hardest phonon mode is estimated to be about…

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…

Symmetric minima of surface potential energy of a nanocatalyst act as nucleation sites for chirally selective initial growth of single walled carbon tubes at low temperatures. The nucleation sites are sites of maximum coordination number of…

Silicon nanotube is constructed by rolling up a silicene, i.e., a monolayer of silicon atoms forming a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. It is a semiconductor or an insulator owing to relatively large spin-orbit interactions induced by its…

Deformations of single-wall carbon nanotubes are investigated within the tight-binding model with deformation-dependent hopping energies. We show that the nanotubes tend to twist and shrink spontaneously at zero temperature. The explicit…

We demonstrate that free graphene sheet edges can curl back on themselves,reconstructing as nanotubes. This results in lower formation energies than any other non-functionalised edge structure reported to date in the literature. We…

A remarkably quantitative understanding of the electrical and mechanical properties of metal wires with a thickness on the scale of a nanometer has been obtained within the free-electron model using semiclassical techniques. Convergent…

The search or design of silicon nanostructures similar to their carbon analogues has attracted great interest recently. In this work, density functional calculations are performed to systematically study a series of finite and infinite…

Measurements of the static magnetic susceptibility and of the nuclear magnetic resonance of multiwalled vanadium-oxide nanotubes are reported. In this nanoscale magnet the structural low-dimensionality and mixed valency of vanadium ions…

The energy band gap structure and stability of (3,3) and (10,10) nanotubes have been comparatively investigated in the frameworks of the traditional form of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model and a toy model including the contributions of…

We calculate effects of an applied helically symmetric potential on the low energy electronic spectrum of a carbon nanotube in the continuum approximation. The spectrum depends on the strength of this potential and on a dimensionless…

We investigate structural parameters, i.e., bond lengths and bond angles of isolated uncapped zigzag single-wall nanotubes in detail. The bond lengths and bond angles are determined for several radii tubes by using a theoretical procedure…

Chiral magnets possess topological line excitations where the magnetization within each cross section forms a skyrmion texture. We study analytically and numerically the low-energy, non-linear dynamics of such a skyrmion string in a…

We computationally investigate the wave propagation characteristics of nanoscopic granular crystals composed of one-dimensionally arrayed gold nanoparticles using molecular dynamics simulation. We examine two basic configurations, i.e.…

The authors introduce a geometry for ultrathin Au and Ag wires that ab initio calculations indicate to be more stable than previously considered planar geometries for these systems, by about 0.1 eV per atom. This structure is insulating for…
