Understanding phonon transport at a molecular scale is fundamental to the development of high-performance thermoelectric materials for the conversion of waste heat into electricity…
Fast relaxation of photo-excited carriers in 2D transition metal dichalcogenides
Mark Danovich, Igor Aleiner, Neil D. Drummond +1
We predict a fast relaxation of photo-excited carriers in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), which is mediated by the emission of longitudinal optical (LO) phonons…
Resonant tunnelling between the chiral Landau states of twisted graphene lattices
M. T. Greenaway, E. E. Vdovin, A. Mishchenko +12
A new class of multilayered functional materials has recently emerged in which the component atomic layers are held together by weak van der Waals forces that preserve the structur…
Thermopower of crown-ether-bridged anthraquinones
A. K. Ismael, I. Grace, C. J. Lambert
We investigate strategies for increasing the thermopower of crown-ether-bridged anthraquinones. The novel design feature of these molecules is the presence of either (1) crown-ethe…
How to extract weak values from a mesoscopic electronic system
Iliya Esin, Alessandro Romito, Yuval Gefen
Weak value (WV) protocols may lead to extreme expectation values that are larger than the corresponding orthodox expectation values. Recent works have proposed to implement this co…
Hexagonal-boron nitride substrates for electroburnt graphene nanojunctions
Hatef Sadeghi, Sara Sangtarash, Colin Lambert
We examine the effect of a hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) substrate on electron transport through graphene nanojunctions just before gap formation. Junctions in vacuum and on hBN ar…

A quantum circuit rule for combining quantum interference (QI) effects in the conductive properties of oligo(phenyleneethynylene) (OPE)-type molecules possessing three aromatic rin…
Searching the hearts of graphene-like molecules for simplicity, sensitivity and logic
Sara Sangtarash, Cancan Huang, Hatef Sadeghi +7
If quantum interference patterns in the hearts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) could be isolated and manipulated, then a significant step towards realizing the potential…

Nanoscale solid-solid contacts define a wealth of material behaviours from the electrical and thermal conductivity in modern electronic devices to friction and losses in micro- and…
Tunable Fermi surface topology and Lifshitz transition in bilayer graphene
Anastasia Varlet, Marcin Mucha-Kruczyński, Dominik Bischoff +6
Bilayer graphene is a highly tunable material: not only can one tune the Fermi energy using standard gates, as in single-layer graphene, but the band structure can also be modified…
