Ferroelectricity in oxygen-terminated 2D carbides of lanthanide elements
Lin Han, Wencong Sun, Pingwei Liu +3
We investigate the properties of oxygen-functionalized carbides of lanthanide elements with the composition M2CO2 (M=Gd, Tb,Dy) that form two-dimensional (2D) structures. Our ab in…
Unusual electric polarization behavior in elemental quasi-2D allotropes of selenium
Dan Liu, Lin Han, Ran Wei +4
We investigate tunable electric polarization and electronic structure of quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) allotropes of selenium, which are formed from their constituent one-dimens…
Efficient Growth and Characterization of One Dimensional Transition Metal Tellurides Inside Carbon Nanotubes
Naoyuki Kanda, Yusuke Nakanishi, Dan Liu +5
Atomically thin one dimensional (1D) van der Waals wires of transition metal monochalocogenides (TMMs) have been anticipated as promising building blocks for integrated nanoelectro…
Periodically Gated Bilayer Graphene as an Electronic Metamaterial
Xianqing Lin, David Tomanek
We study ballistic transport in periodically gated bilayer graphene as a candidate for a 2D electronic metamaterial. Our calculations use the equilibrium Green function formalism a…
Changing the Phosphorus Allotrope from a Square Columnar Structure to a Planar Zigzag Nanoribbon by Increasing the Diameter of Carbon Nanotube Nanoreactors
Jinying Zhang, Chengcheng Fu, Shixin Song +10
Elemental phosphorus nanostructures are notorious for a large number of allotropes, which limits their usefulness as semiconductors. To limit this structural diversity, we synthesi…
Catalytic Formation of Narrow Nb Nanowires inside Carbon Nanotubes
Dan Liu, David Tomanek
We propose a previously unexplored way to form Nb nanowires from NbCl molecules inside carbon nanotubes (CNTs). We have studied this reaction by ab initio density functional ca…
