Vibrational Tamm states at the edges of graphene nanoribbons

open access: yes, 2010
We study vibrational states localized at the edges of graphene nanoribbons. Such surface oscillations can be considered as a phonon analog of Tamm states well known in the electronic theory.

Thermoelectric Conversion From Interface Thermophoresis and Piezoelectric Effects

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2022
Piezoelectric effect has proved itself to be a promising energy conversion mechanism that can convert mechanical energy into electricity. Here, we propose an indirect thermoelectric conversion mechanism based on a combination of the thermophoresis and ...

First principle study of the thermal conductance in graphene nanoribbon with vacancy and substitutional silicon defect

open access: yes, 2011
The thermal conductance in graphene nanoribbon with a vacancy or silicon point defect (substitution of C by Si atom) is investigated by non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism combined with first-principle calculations density-functional theory

Phase coherent transport in graphene nanoribbons and graphene nanoribbon arrays [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review B, 2012
We have experimentally investigated quantum interference corrections to the conductivity of graphene nanoribbons at temperatures down to 20 mK studying both weak localization (WL) and universal conductance fluctuations (UCF). Since in individual nanoribbons at millikelvin temperatures the UCFs strongly mask the weak localization feature we employ both ...

Transformation of hydrogen titanate nanoribbons to TiO2 nanoribbons and the influence of the transformation strategies on the photocatalytic performance

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2015
The influence of the reaction conditions during the transformation of hydrogen titanate nanoribbons to TiO2 nanoribbons on the phase composition, the morphology, the appearance of the nanoribbon surfaces and their optical properties was investigated. The

Ab Initio Study of Ferroelectric Critical Size of SnTe Low-Dimensional Nanostructures

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2020
Beyond a ferroelectric critical thickness of several nanometers existed in conventional ferroelectric perovskite oxides, ferroelectricity in ultimately thin dimensions was recently discovered in SnTe monolayers.

Mechanical properties of graphene nanoribbons [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2009
Herein, we investigate the structural, electronic and mechanical properties of zigzag graphene nanoribbons upon the presence of stress applying Density Functional Theory within the GGA-PBE approximation. The uniaxial stress is applied along the periodic direction, allowing a unitary deformation in the range of +/- 0.02%.

Peculiar Width Dependence of the Electronic Property of Carbon Nanoribbons

open access: yes, 2006
Nanoribbons (nanographite ribbons) are carbon systems analogous to carbon nanotubes. We characterize a wide class of nanoribbons by a set of two integers $$, and then define the width $w$ in terms of $p$ and $q$.

Highly Stretchable MoS$_2$ Kirigami [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report the results of classical molecular dynamics simulations focused on studying the mechanical properties of MoS$_{2}$ kirigami. Several different kirigami structures were studied based upon two simple non-dimensional parameters, which are related ...
