Hydrogen Atoms on Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons: Chemistry and Magnetism Meet at the Edge
Michele Pizzochero, Efthimios Kaxiras
Although the unconventional -magnetism at the zigzag edges of graphene holds promise for a wide array of applications, whether and to what degree it plays a role in their chemis…
Edge Disorder in Bottom-Up Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons: Implications for Magnetism and Quantum Electronic Transport
Michele Pizzochero, Gabriela Borin Barin, Kristiāns Čerņevičs +4
We unveil the nature of the structural disorder in bottom-up zigzag graphene nanoribbons along with its effect on the magnetism and electronic transport on the basis of scanning pr…
Imprinting Tunable -Magnetism in Graphene Nanoribbons via Edge Extensions
Michele Pizzochero, Efthimios Kaxiras
Magnetic carbon nanostructures are currently under scrutiny for a wide spectrum of applications. Here, we theoretically investigate armchair graphene nanoribbons patterned with asy…
Light Induced Electron Spin Resonance Properties of van der Waals CrX3 (X = Cl, I) Crystals
S. R. Singamaneni, L. M. Martinez, J. Niklas +5
The research on layered van der Waals (vdW) magnets is rapidly progressing owing to exciting fundamental science and potential applications. In bulk crystal form, CrCl3 is a vdW an…
Electronic transport across quantum dots in graphene nanoribbons: Toward built-in gap-tunable metal-semiconductor-metal heterojunctions
Kristiāns Čerņevičs, Oleg V. Yazyev, Michele Pizzochero
The success of all-graphene electronics is severely hindered by the challenging realization and subsequent integration of semiconducting channels and metallic contacts. Here, we co…
Structural phase transition and bandgap control through mechanical deformation in layered semiconductors 1T-ZrX2 (X = S, Se)
Edoardo Martino, David Santos-Cottin, Florian Le Mardele +10
Applying elastic deformation can tune a material physical properties locally and reversibly. Spatially modulated lattice deformation can create a bandgap gradient, favouring photo-…
