Spintronics holds the promise for future information technologies. Devices based on
manipulation of spin are most likely to replace the current silicon complementary metal …

During the past 20 years, the manipulation of atoms and molecules at surfaces has allowed
the construction and characterization of model systems that could, potentially, act as building …

We present an extensive first-principles study of a large set of native defects in MoS 2 in
order to find out the types and concentrations of the most important defects in this system …

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are being considered for a variety of electronic
and optoelectronic devices such as beyond complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor …

By combining high-resolution transmission electron microscopy experiments and first-
principles calculations, we study production, diffusion, and agglomeration of sulfur …

MoS2 single layers have recently emerged as strong competitors of graphene in electronic
and optoelectronic device applications due to their intrinsic direct bandgap. However …

This second edition of Handbook of Micro/Nanotribology addresses the rapid evolution
within this field, serving as a reference for the novice and the expert alike. Two parts divide …

The resistance of wires consisting of 1–3 atoms connecting two semi-infinite metallic
electrodes is calculated for both small and large bias. The wires discussed consist of Al …

The concept of the atom as the fundamental com-ponent of matter was first proposed bythe
Greek philosopher Leucippus and further developed by his student Democritus in the 5th …

For the development of various molecular nanostructures such as single-molecule electronic
circuits, it is very important to fix the molecular components at predetermined positions on a …
