<i>Ab initio</i>modeling of quantum transport properties of molecular electronic devices
We report on a self-consistent ab initio technique for modeling quantum transport properties of atomic and molecular scale nanoelectronic devices under external bias potentials....
Size effect on the melting temperature of gold particles
Recently, small particles have been shown to exhibit a melting temperature which depends on the particle size. The various possible experimental methods have been compared and m...
Thermal Transport Measurements of Individual Multiwalled Nanotubes
The thermal conductivity and thermoelectric power of a single carbon nanotube were measured using a microfabricated suspended device. The observed thermal conductivity is more t...
Controlling the Electronic Structure of Bilayer Graphene
We describe the synthesis of bilayer graphene thin films deposited on insulating silicon carbide and report the characterization of their electronic band structure using angle-r...
Electrode Materials for Rechargeable Sodium‐Ion Batteries: Potential Alternatives to Current Lithium‐Ion Batteries
Abstract Lithium (Li)‐ion batteries (LIB) have governed the current worldwide rechargeable battery market due to their outstanding energy and power capability. In particular, th...
Electrical Conductivity in Doped Polyacetylene
Doped polyacetylene forms a new class of conducting polymers in which the electrical conductivity can be systematically and continuously varied over a range of eleven orders of ...
Two- and One-Dimensional Honeycomb Structures of Silicon and Germanium
First-principles calculations of structure optimization, phonon modes, and finite temperature molecular dynamics predict that silicon and germanium can have stable, two-dimensio...
TiO<sub>2</sub> Photocatalysis: A Historical Overview and Future Prospects
Photocatalysis has recently become a common word and various products using photocatalytic functions have been commercialized. Among many candidates for photocatalysts, TiO 2 is...
