An All-Atom Force Field for Dry and Water-Lubricated Carbon Tribological Interfaces
Thomas Reichenbach, Severin Sylla, Leonhard Mayrhofer +4
We present a non-reactive force field for molecular dynamics simulations of interfaces between passivated amorphous surfaces and their interaction with water. The force field enabl…
Confined Electron and Hole States in Semiconducting Carbon Nanotube sub-10 nm Artificial Quantum Dots
Gilles Buchs, Dario Bercioux, Leonhard Mayrhofer +1
We show that quantum confinement in the valence and conduction bands of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes can be engineered by means of artificial defects. This ability…
Pseudo-spin-dependent scattering in carbon nanotubes
Leonhard Mayrhofer, Dario Bercioux
The breaking of symmetry is the ground on which many physical phenomena are explained. This is important in particular for bipartite lattice structure as graphene and carbon nanotu…
Spin-dependent transport through interacting graphene armchair nanoribbons
Sonja Koller, Leonhard Mayrhofer, Milena Grifoni
We investigate spin effects in transport across fully interacting, finite size graphene armchair nanoribbons (ACNs) contacted to collinearly spin-polarized leads. In such systems,…
Exchange effects in spin polarized transport through carbon nanotube quantum dots
Christoph Schenke, Sonja Koller, Leonhard Mayrhofer +1
We investigate linear and nonlinear transport across single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dots weakly coupled to spin-polarized leads. We consider tubes of finite length and small…
Linear conductance of an interacting carbon nanotube ring
M. Eroms, L. Mayrhofer, M. Grifoni
Linear transport through a single-walled carbon nanotube ring (CNR), pierced by a magnetic field and capacitively coupled to a gate voltage source, is investigated starting from a…
