Effect of strain, thickness, and local surface environment on electron transport properties of oxygen-terminated copper thin films
Alfonso Sanchez-Soares, Sarah L. T. Jones, John J. Plombon +4
Electron transport is studied in surface oxidized single-crystal copper thin films with a thickness of up to 5.6 nm by applying density functional theory and density functional tig…
Electron transport properties of sub-3-nm diameter copper nanowires
Sarah L. T. Jones, Alfonso Sanchez-Soares, John J. Plombon +4
Density functional theory and density functional tight-binding are applied to model electron transport in copper nanowires of approximately 1 nm and 3 nm diameters with varying cry…
A semimetal nanowire rectifier: balancing quantum confinement and surface electronegativity
Alfonso Sanchez-Soares, James C. Greer
For semimetal nanowires with diameters smaller than a few tens of nanometers, a semimetal-to-semiconductor transition is observed as the emergence of an energy band gap resulting f…
