Dynamical evolution of the Schottky barrier as a determinant contribution to electron-hole pair stabilization and photocatalysis of plasmon-induced hot carriers
Matias Berdakin, German Soldano, Franco P. Bonafé +4
The harnessing of plasmon-induced hot carriers promises to open new avenues for the development of clean energies and chemical catalysis. The extraction of carriers before thermali…
Fano resonance and incoherent interlayer excitons in molecular van der Waals heterostructures
Carlos R. Lien-Medrano, Franco P. Bonafé, Chi Yung Yam +3
Complex van der Waals heterostructures from layered molecular stacks are promising optoelectronic materials offering means to efficient, modular charge separation and collection la…
Optical Properties of Graphene Nanoflakes: Shape Matters
Candela Mansilla Wettstein, Franco P. Bonafé, M. Belén Oviedo +1
In recent years there has been significant debate on whether the edge type of graphene nanoflakes (GNF) or graphene quantum dots (GQD) are relevant for their electronic structure,…
The transfer of energy between electrons and ions in solids
A. P. Horsfield, D. R. Bowler, H. Ness +3
In this review we consider those processes in condensed matter that involve the irreversible flow of energy between electrons and nuclei that follows from a system being taken out…
Magneto-mechanical interplay in spin-polarized point contacts
Maria Stamenova, Sudhakar Sahoo, Cristian G. Sanchez +2
We investigate the interplay between magnetic and structural dynamics in ferromagnetic atomic point contacts. In particular, we look at the effect of the atomic relaxation on the e…
First principles calculations of monolayer compressibilities
C. Sanchez, E. P. M. Leiva
We perform high quality, first principles calculations of the properties of Pb and Tl isolated monolayers. Among these, we consider the equilibrium lattice constant, the two dimens…
