Formation of Subgap States in Carbon Nanotubes Due to a Local Transverse Electric Field
Jesse M. Kinder, E. J. Mele
We introduce two simple models to study the effect of a spatially localized transverse electric field on the low-energy electronic structure of semiconducting carbon nanotubes. Sta…
Continuum theory for the piezoelectric response of chiral nanotubes under uniaxial and torsional stresses
P. J. Michalski, E. J. Mele
We develop and solve a continuum theory for the piezoelectric response of nanotubes under applied uniaxial and torsional stresses. We find that the piezoelectric response is contro…
Continuum Theory for Piezoelectricity in Nanotubes and Nanowires
P. J. Michalski, Na Sai, E. J. Mele
We develop and solve a continuum theory for the piezoelectric response of one dimensional nanotubes and nanowires, and apply the theory to study electromechanical effects in BN nan…
The Ratio Problem in Single Carbon Nanotube Fluorescence Spectroscopy
C. L. Kane, E. J. Mele
The electronic bandgaps measured in fluorescence spectroscopy on individual single wall carbon nanotubes isolated within micelles show signficant deviations from the predictions of…
Coherent Control of Photocurrents in Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes
E. J. Mele, P. Kral, D. Tomanek
Coherent one photon () and two photon () electronic excitations are studied for graphene sheets and for carbon nanotubes using a long wavelength theory for the low energy…
Structure and Vibrations of the Vicinal Copper (211) Surface
C. Y. Wei, Steven P. Lewis, E. J. Mele +1
We report a first principles theoretical study of the surface relaxation and lattice dynamics of the Cu(211) surface using the plane wave pseudopotential method. We find large atom…
