Interplay of Stimulated Emission and Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer in Electrospun Light-Emitting Fibers
Lech Sznitko, Luigi Romano, Andrea Camposeo +4
Concomitant amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) are investigated in electrospun light-emitting fibers. Upon dye-doping with a proper F…
Current trends in the physics of nanoscale friction
N. Manini, G. Mistura, G. Paolicelli +2
Tribology, which studies surfaces in contact and relative motion, includes friction, wear, and lubrication, straddling across different fields: mechanical engineering, materials sc…
Perfecting the Growth and Transfer of Large Single-Crystal CVD Graphene: A Platform Material for Optoelectronic Applications
Vaidotas Miseikis, Shaohua Xiang, Stefano Roddaro +2
In this work we demonstrate the synthesis of millimetre-sized single-crystals of graphene, achievable in a commercially-available cold-wall CVD reactor, and several different appro…
Advanced capabilities for materials modelling with Quantum ESPRESSO
P. Giannozzi, O. Andreussi, T. Brumme +47
Quantum ESPRESSO is an integrated suite of open-source computer codes for quantum simulations of materials using state-of-the art electronic-structure techniques, based on density-…
Koopmans-compliant spectral functionals for extended systems
Ngoc Linh Nguyen, Nicola Colonna, Andrea Ferretti +1
Koopmans-compliant functionals have been shown to provide accurate spectral properties for molecular systems; this accuracy is driven by the generalized linearization condition imp…
Atomic and Electronic Structure of Si Dangling Bonds in Quasi-Free-Standing Monolayer Graphene
Yuya Murata, Tommaso Cavallucci, Valentina Tozzini +7
Si dangling bonds without H termination at the interface of quasi-free standing monolayer graphene (QFMLG) are known scattering centers that can severely affect carrier mobility. I…
Li-intercalated Graphene on SiC(0001): an STM study
Sara Fiori, Yuya Murata, Stefano Veronesi +3
We present a systematical study via scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) on the effect of the exposure of Lithium (Li) on graphene on sili…
Electrostatic mechanophores in tuneable light-emitting piezo-polymer nanowires
Luana Persano, Andrea Camposeo, Aleksandr V. Terentjevs +4
Electromechanical coupling through piezoelectric polymer chains allows the emission of organic molecules in active nanowires to be tuned. This effect is evidenced by highly bendabl…
U(1)SU(2) Gauge Invariance Made Simple for Density Functional Approximations
S. Pittalis, G. Vignale, F. G. Eich
A semi-relativistic density-functional theory that includes spin-orbit couplings and Zeeman fields on equal footing with the electromagnetic potentials, is an appealing framework t…
Electronic Structure Evolution during the Growth of Graphene Nanoribbons on Au(110)
Ada Della Pia, Giulia Avvisati, Oualid Ourdjini +6
Surface-assisted polymerization of molecular monomers into extended chains can be used as the seed of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) formation, resulting from a subsequent cyclo-dehydro…
Photo-Induced Bandgap Renormalization Governs the Ultrafast Response of Single-Layer MoS2
Eva A. A. Pogna, Margherita Marsili, Domenico De Fazio +9
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are emerging as promising two-dimensional (2d) semiconductors for optoelectronic and flexible devices. However, a microscopic explanation of…
Bonds, lone pairs, and shells probed by means of on-top dynamical correlations
Stefano Pittalis, Daniele Varsano, Alain Delgado +1
The Electron Localization Function (ELF) by Becke and Edgecombe [J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 92}, 5397 (1990)] is routinely adopted as a descriptor of atomic shells and covalent bonds. Sin…
Fermionic correlations as metric distances: a useful tool for materials science
Simone Marocchi, Stefano Pittalis, Irene D'Amico
We introduce a rigorous, physically appealing, and practical way to measure distances between exchange-only correlations of interacting many-electron systems, which works regardles…
Plasmonic properties of refractory titanium nitride
Alessandra Catellani, Arrigo Calzolari
The development of plasmonic and metamaterial devices requires the research of high-performance materials, alternative to standard noble metals. Renewed as refractory stable compou…
