Large Area Vapor Phase Growth and Characterization of MoS2 Atomic Layers on SiO2 Substrate

Yongjie Zhan, Zheng Liu, Sina Najmaei +2

Monolayer Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a two-dimensional crystal with a direct bandgap, is a promising candidate for 2D nanoelectronic devices complementing graphene. There have be…

Improved Semiconductor Lattice Parameters and Band Gaps from a Middle-Range Screened Hybrid Functional

Melissa J. Lucero, Thomas M. Henderson, Gustavo E. Scuseria

We show that the middle-range exchange-correlation hybrid of Henderson, Izmaylov, Scuseria and Savin (HISS) performs extremely well for elemental and binary semiconductors with nar…

Assessment of correlation energies based on the random-phase approximation

Joachim Paier, Xinguo Ren, Patrick Rinke +4

The random-phase approximation to the ground state correlation energy (RPA) in combination with exact exchange (EX) has brought Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory one step cl…

Enhancement of the Electron Spin Resonance of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Oxygen Removal

W. D. Rice, R. T. Weber, A. D. Leonard +6

We have observed a nearly fourfold increase in the electron spin resonance (ESR) signal from an ensemble of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) due to oxygen desorption. By per…

Microscopic model for the ferroelectric field effect in oxide heterostructures

Shuai Dong, Xiaotian Zhang, Rong Yu +2

A microscopic model Hamiltonian for the ferroelectric field effect is introduced for the study of oxide heterostructures with ferroelectric components. The long-range Coulomb inter…

Computing the energy of a water molecule using MultiDeterminants: A simple, efficient algorithm

Bryan K. Clark, Miguel A. Morales, Jeremy McMinis +2

Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods such as variational Monte Carlo and fixed node diffusion Monte Carlo depend heavily on the quality of the trial wave function. Although Slater-Jas…

Coherent Phonon Dynamics in Short-Period InAs/GaSb Superlattices

G. T. Noe, H. J. Haugan, G. J. Brown +3

We have performed ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy studies on a series of InAs/GaSb-based short-period superlattice (SL) samples with periods ranging from 46 Åto 71 Å. We observe…

Graphene Nucleation on Transition Metal Surface: Structure Transformation and Role of the Metal Step Edge

Junfeng Gao, Joanne Yip, Jijun Zhao +2

The nucleation of graphene on a transition metal (TM) surface, either on a terrace or near a step edge, is systematically explored using density functional theory (DFT) calculation…

Patterning Nanoroads and Quantum Dots on Fluorinated Graphene

Morgana A. Ribas, Abhishek K. Singh, Pavel B. Sorokin +1

Using ab initio methods we have investigated the fluorination of graphene and find that different stoichiometric phases can be formed without a nucleation barrier, with the complet…

BN white graphene with `colorful' edges--the energies and morphology

Yuanyue Liu, Somnath Bhowmick, Boris I. Yakobson

Interfaces play a key role in low dimensional materials like graphene or its boron nitrogen analog, white graphene. The edge energy of h-BN has not been reported as its lower symme…
