Electronic structure of folded hexagonal boron nitride
Anthony Impellizzeri, Michele Amato, Chris P. Ewels +1
Folded regions are commonly encountered in a number of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) based bulk and nanostructured materials. Two types of structural modifications occur in folded…
Interplay of quantum confinement and strain effects in type I to type II transition in Ge/Si core-shell nanocrystals
Ivan Marri, Stefano Ossicini, Michele Amato +2
The electronic properties of hydrogenated, spherical, Si/Ge and Ge/Si core-shell nanocrystals with a diameter ranging from 1.8 to 4.0 nm are studied within Density Functional Theor…
Atomic scale visualization of the p-d hybridization in III-V semiconductors doped with transition metal impurities
K. Badiane, G. Rodary, M. Amato +4
p-d hybridization of transition metal impurities in a semiconductor host is the mechanism that couples valence-band electrons and localized spins. We use scanning tunneling microsc…
