High-Q Nanomechanics via Destructive Interference of Elastic Waves
I. Wilson-Rae, R. A. Barton, S. S. Verbridge +4
Mechanical dissipation poses an ubiquitous challenge to the performance of nanomechanical devices. Here we analyze the support-induced dissipation of high-stress nanomechanical res…
Electronic States of Graphene Grain Boundaries
Andrej Mesaros, Stefanos Papanikolaou, C. F. J. Flipse +2
We introduce a model for amorphous grain boundaries in graphene, and find that stable structures can exist along the boundary that are responsible for local density of states enhan…
Straining the Identity of Majorana Fermions
Andrej Mesaros, Stefanos Papanikolaou, Jan Zaanen
We propose an experimental setup of an interferometer for the observation of neutral Majorana fermions on topological insulator - superconductor - ferromagnet junctions. We show th…
First-principles study of heat transport properties of graphene nanoribbons
Zhen Wah Tan, Jian-Sheng Wang, Chee Kwan Gan
We combine density-functional theory and the nonequilibrium Green's function method to study the thermal conductance of graphene nanoribbons with armchair and zigzag edges. Zigzag…
Mechanical Control of Spin States in Spin-1 Molecules and the Underscreened Kondo Effect
J. J. Parks, A. R. Champagne, T. A. Costi +10
The ability to make electrical contact to single molecules creates opportunities to examine fundamental processes governing electron flow on the smallest possible length scales. We…
Material limitations of carbon-nanotube inertial balances: on the possibility of intrinsic yoctogram mass resolution at room temperature
Johannes Lischner, T. A. Arias
We present a theoretical study of the intrinsic quality factor of the fundamental flexural vibration in a carbon nanotube and its dependence on temperature, radius, length and tens…
