Since lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been substantially researched in recent years, they
now possess exceptional energy and power densities, making them the most suited energy …

The topological properties of an object, associated with an integer called the topological
invariant, are global features that cannot change continuously but only through abrupt …

Whenever a quantum system undergoes a cyclic evolution governed by a slow change of
parameters, it acquires a phase factor: the geometric phase. Its most common formulations …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely studied and used for the construction of
electrochemical biosensors owing to their small size, cylindrical shape, large surface-to …

We have produced ultrathin epitaxial graphite films which show remarkable 2D electron gas
(2DEG) behavior. The films, composed of typically three graphene sheets, were grown by …

Graphene has been used to explore the fascinating electronic properties of ideal two-
dimensional carbon, and shows great promise for quantum device architectures. The …

A variety of outstanding experimental results on the elucidation of the elastic properties of
carbon nanotubes are fast appearing. These are based mainly on the techniques of high …

Topological insulators represent unusual phases of quantum matter with an insulating bulk
gap and gapless edges or surface states. The two-dimensional topological insulator phase …

This article reviews the electronic and transport properties of carbon nanotubes. The focus is
mainly theoretical, but when appropriate the relation with experimental results is mentioned …

The current-carrying capacity and reliability studies of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under
high current densities (109 A/cm2) show that no observable failure in the nanotube structure …
