Tuning magnetism in graphene nanoribbons via strain and adatoms
Pablo Moles, Hernán Santos, Francisco Domínguez-Adame +1
We investigate the impact of strain and adsorbed H adatoms on the magnetic properties of zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) using a combination of tight-binding and density functi…
Direct visualization and effects of atomic-scale defects on the optoelectronic properties of hexagonal boron nitride
Pablo Ares, Hernan Santos, Snezana Lazic +7
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is attracting a lot of attention in the last years, thanks to its many remarkable properties. These include the presence of single-photon emitters wit…
Charge-spin interconversion in graphene-based systems from density functional theory
Maedeh Rassekh, Hernán Santos, Andrea Latge +3
We present a methodology to address, from first principles, charge-spin interconversion in two-dimensional materials with spin-orbit coupling. Our study relies on an implementation…
Spin-polarized currents in corrugated graphene nanoribbons
Hernán Santos, A. Latgé, L. Brey +1
We investigate the production of spin-polarized currents in corrugated graphene nanoribbons. Such corrugations are modeled as multiple regions with Rashba spin-orbit interactions,…
Strong Modulation of Optical Properties in Rippled 2D GaSe via Strain Engineering
David Maeso, Sahar Pakdel, Hernan Santos +4
Few-layer GaSe is one of the latest additions to the family of 2D semiconducting crystals whose properties under strain are still relatively unexplored. Here, we study rippled nano…
Entanglement detachment in fermionic systems
Hernán Santos, José Enrique Alvarellos, Javier Rodríguez-Laguna
This article introduces and discusses the concept of entanglement detachment. Under some circumstances, enlarging a few couplings of a Hamiltonian can effectively detach a (possibl…
