The electronic properties of graphene, a two-dimensional crystal of carbon atoms, are
exceptionally novel. For instance, the low-energy quasiparticles in graphene behave as …

Self-assembly offers unique possibilities for fabricating nanostructures, with different
morphologies and properties, typically from vapour or liquid phase precursors. Molecular …

Bandgap engineering is used to create semiconductor heterostructure devices that perform
processes such as resonant tunnelling, and solar energy conversion,. However, the …

Graphene nanoribbons—narrow and straight-edged stripes of graphene, or single-layer
graphite—are predicted to exhibit electronic properties that make them attractive for the …

Using first-principles plane-wave calculations, we investigate two-dimensional (2D)
honeycomb structure of group-IV elements and their binary compounds as well as the …

First-principles calculations of structure optimization, phonon modes, and finite temperature
molecular dynamics predict that silicon and germanium can have stable, two-dimensional …

The incorporation of nanoscale pores into a sheet of graphene allows it to switch from an
impermeable semimetal to a semiconducting nanosieve. Nanoporous graphenes are …

The influence of the structural detail and defects on the thermal and electronic transport
properties of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) is explored by molecular dynamics and non …

Contributing to the need for new graphene nanoribbon (GNR) structures that can be
synthesized with atomic precision, we have designed a reactant that renders chiral (3, 1) …

We investigate electron and phonon transport through edge-disordered zigzag graphene
nanoribbons based on the same methodological tool of nonequilibrium Green functions. We …
