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…
Quantum Electronic Transport Across "Bite" Defects in Graphene Nanoribbons
Michele Pizzochero, Kristiāns Čerņevičs, Gabriela Borin Barin +4
On-surface synthesis has recently emerged as an effective route towards the atomically precise fabrication of graphene nanoribbons of controlled topologies and widths. However, whe…
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-…
Even-odd conductance effect in graphene nanoribbons induced by edge functionalization with aromatic molecules: Basis for novel chemosensors
Kristiāns Čerņevičs, Michele Pizzochero, Oleg V. Yazyev
We theoretically investigate the electron transport in armchair and zigzag graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) chemically functionalized with p-polyphenyl and polyacene groups of increasin…
Inducing Magnetic Phase Transitions in Monolayer CrI via Lattice Deformations
Michele Pizzochero, Oleg V. Yazyev
Atomically thin films of layered chromium triiodide (CrI) have recently been regarded as suitable candidates to a wide spectrum of technologically relevant applications, mainly…
Atomic-scale defects in the two-dimensional ferromagnet CrI from first principles
Michele Pizzochero
The family of atomically thin magnets holds great promise for a number of prospective applications in magneto-optoelectronics, with CrI arguably being its most prototypical mem…
