Etching-dependent reproducible memory switching in vertical SiO2 structures

J. Yao, L. Zhong, D. Natelson +1

Vertical structures of SiO sandwiched between a top tungsten electrode and conducting non-metal substrate were fabricated by dry and wet etching methods. Both structures exhi…

Localized heating in nanoscale Pt constrictions measured using blackbody radiation emission

Daniel R. Ward, Naomi J. Halas, Douglas Natelson

Using thermal emission microscopy, we investigate heating in Pt nanowires before and during electromigration. The wires are observed to reach temperatures in excess of 1000 K. This…

Photoluminescence sidebands of carbon nanotubes below the bright singlet excitonic levels: Coupling between dark excitons and K-point phonons

Yoichi Murakami, Benjamin Lu, Said Kazaoui +3

We performed detailed photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy studies of three different types of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by using samples that contain essentially only…

Interfacial charge transfer in nanoscale polymer transistors

J. H. Worne, R. Giridharagopal, K. F. Kelly +1

Interfacial charge transfer plays an essential role in establishing the relative alignment of the metal Fermi level and the energy bands of organic semiconductors. While the detail…

Half-metallic zigzag carbon nanotube dots

Oded Hod, Gustavo E. Scuseria

A comprehensive first-principles theoretical study of the electronic properties and half-metallic nature of finite zigzag carbon nanotubes is presented. Unlike previous reports, we…

Chirality-Selective Excitation of Coherent Phonons in Carbon Nanotubes

J. -H. Kim, K. -J. Han, N. -J. Kim +7

Using pre-designed trains of femtosecond optical pulses, we have selectively excited coherent phonons of the radial breathing mode of specific-chirality single-walled carbon nanotu…

Femtosecond Demagnetization and Hot Hole Relaxation in Ferromagnetic GaMnAs

J. Wang, L. Cywinski, C. Sun +3

We have studied ultrafast photoinduced demagnetization in GaMnAs via two-color time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr spectroscopy. Below-bandgap midinfrared pump pulses strongly excit…

Analytical infrared intensities for periodic systems with local basis sets

Artur F. Izmaylov, Gustavo E. Scuseria

We report a method for the efficient evaluation of analytic infrared (IR) intensities within generalized Kohn-Sham density functional theory using Gaussian orbitals and periodic bo…

Electronic Structure of Copper Phthalocyanine: a Comparative Density Functional Theory Study

Noa Marom, Oded Hod, Gustavo E. Scuseria +1

We present a systematic density functional theory study of the electronic structure of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), using several different (semi)-local and hybrid functionals, an…
