We present a theory of single-electron tunneling transport through a ferromagnetic nanoparticle in which particle-hole excitations are coupled to spin collective modes. The model employed to describe the interaction between quasiparticles…

We study numerically self-trapped (polaron) states of quasiparticles (electrons, holes or excitons) in a deformable nanotube formed by a hexagonal lattice, wrapped into a cylinder (carbon- and boron nitride-type nanotube structures). We…

A periodic potential applied to a nanotube is shown to lock electrons into incompressible states that can form a devil's staircase. Electron interactions result in spectral gaps when the electron density (relative to a half-filled Carbon…

We have investigated the diffusion and structure of TIP4P/2005 water confined in carbon nanotubes subjected to external electric fields. A wide range of diameters has been used to show a highly size-dependent behavior of the water…

We investigate the impact of strained nanobubbles on the conductance characteristics of graphene nanoribbons using a combined molecular dynamics - tight-binding simulation scheme. We describe in detail how the conductance, density of…

Vacuum fluctuations fundamentally affect an atom by inducing a finite excited state lifetime along with a Lamb shift of its transition frequency. Here we report the reverse effect: modification of vacuum modes by a single atom in circuit…

We report on a model of polymer nanocomposites with fibrous fillers which explicitly considers the microscopic filler features and replicates the composites as random distributions of particles interconnected via electron tunneling. By…

The basic properties of conducting electrons in carbon nanotubes are reviewed from a theoretical perspective, and studies performed on persistent currents in toroidal carbon nanotubes and on the local energy gap in deformed nanotubes are…

We calculate the effect of electron-vibration coupling on conduction through atomic gold wires, which was measured in the experiments of Agra\"it et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 216803 (2002)]. The vibrational modes, the coupling constants,…

We present a tight binding theory to analyze the motion of electrons between carbon nanotubes bundled into a carbon nanotube rope. The theory is developed starting from a description of the propagating Bloch waves on ideal tubes, and the…

We consider the effect of electron-phonon coupling in semimetals in high magnetic fields, with regard to elastic modes that can lead to a redistribution of carriers between pockets. We show that in a clean three dimensional system, at each…

The electronic properties of carbon nanotubes in a uniform transverse field are investigated within a single orbital tight-binding model. For doped nanotubes, the dielectric function is found to depend not only on symmetry of the tube, but…

We investigate the properties of conduction electrons in single-walled armchair carbon nanotubes (SWNT) in the presence of both transverse electric and magnetic fields. We find that these fields provide a controlled means of tuning…

We report the existence of broad and weakly asymmetric features in the high-energy (G) Raman modes of freely suspended metallic carbon nanotubes of defined chiral index. A significant variation in peak width (from 12 cm-1 to 110 cm-1) is…

We study theoretically, two doped Carbon nanotubes connected via a chemically active bond as the basic elementary gate for a recent proposal for qubit teleportation in the solid--state. We show that such a system provides the necessary…

We bring forth a consistent theory for the electron-mediated vibrational intermode coupling that clarifies the microscopic mechanism behind the vibrational relaxation of adsorbates on metal surfaces. Our analysis points out the inability of…

We investigate vibron-assisted electron transport in single-molecule transistors containing an individual Fe4 Single-Molecule Magnet. We observe a strong suppression of the tunneling current at low bias in combination with vibron-assisted…

A tunable quantum point contact with modes occupied in both transverse directions is studied by magnetotransport experiments. We use conductance quantization of the one-dimensional subbands as a tool to determine the mode spectrum. A…

Superconductivity in quasi-one-dimensional systems is an significant but undervalued research field. In this work, based on the electron-phonon coupling mechanism, we systematically investigate the superconductivity in quasi-one-dimensional…

We study plasmonic excitations in the limit of few electrons, in one-atom thick sodium chains, and characterize them based on collectivity. We also compare the excitations to classical localised plasmon modes and find for the longitudinal…
