Molecular Dynamics Study of Defect Evolution Mechanisms in 3C-SiC for Quantum Technologies
Irslan Ullah Ashraf, Gaetano Calogero, Ioannis Deretzis +4
The migration of point defects and formation of spin defects in 3C-SiC were investigated using molecular dynamics simulations, with migration barriers obtained from Nudged Elastic…
First-Principles Investigation of Surface-Induced Effects on the Properties of Divacancy Qubits in 3C-SiC
Rosario G. Viglione, Giovanni Castorina, Gaetano Calogero +4
Neutral silicon-carbon divacancy (VV) in cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) is a promising class of point defects for quantum technologies based on active crystalline cent…
Quantum transport in nitrogen-doped nanoporous graphenes
Gaetano Calogero, Isaac Alcón, Alan E. Anaya Morales +6
Bottom-up on-surface synthesized nanoporous graphenes (NPGs), realized as 2D arrays of laterally covalently bonded -conjugated graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), are a family of carb…
Tailoring nuclear spins order with defects: a Quantum Technology CAD study
Gaetano Calogero, Ioannis Deretzis, Giuseppe Fisicaro +3
The full design of relevant systems for quantum applications, ranging from quantum simulation to sensing, is presented using a combination of atomistic methods. A prototypical syst…
Robust quantum engineering of current flow in carbon nanostructures at room temperature
Gaetano Calogero, Isaac Alcón, Onurcan Kaya +4
Bottom-up on-surface synthesis enables the fabrication of carbon nanostructures with atomic precision. Good examples are graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), 1D conjugated polymers, and na…
Laser Annealed SiO2/Si1-xGex Scaffolds for Nanoscaled Devices, Synergy of Experiment and Computation
Damiano Ricciarelli, Jonas Müller, Guilhem Larrieu +11
Ultraviolet nanosecond laser annealing (UV-NLA) proves to be an important technique, particularly when tightly controlled heating and melting are necessary. In the realm of semicon…
