Strain impacts on commensurate bilayer graphene superlattices: distorted trigonal warping, emergence of bandgap and direct-indirect bandgap transition
Zahra Khatibi, Afshin Namiranian, Fariborz Parhizgar
Due to low dimensionality, the controlled stacking of the graphene films and their electronic properties are susceptible to environmental changes including strain. The strain-induc…
Impacts of in-plane strain on commensurate graphene/hexagonal boron nitride superlattices
Zahra Khatibi, Afshin Namiranian, S. F. K. S. Panahi
Due to atomically thin structure, graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (G/hBN) heterostructures are intensively sensitive to the external mechanical forces and deformations being appli…
Effect of Electron-RBM Phonon Interaction on Conductance of carbon nanotubes
Reyhaneh Taj, Afshin Namiranian
We use the energy analysis as a perturbative method to study the effect of electron-radial breathing mode (RBM) phonon interaction on the electrical conductivity of long metallic z…
Electron-phonon interaction in an -atomic 1-D periodic chain
Mujtaba Zahidy, Fatemeh Ghadirian, Afshin Namiranian
The study of electron-phonon interaction as a prominent inelastic effect is of great importance. In the present work, we have studied the inelastic effects due to the first order e…
Stone-Wales defects can cause a metal-semiconductor transition in carbon nanotubes depending on their orientation
P. Partovi-Azar, A. Namiranian
It has been shown that the two different orientations of Stone-Wales (SW) defects, i.e. longitudinal and circumferential SW defects, on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) result in two differ…
Ground state study of simple atoms within a nano-scale box
M. Neek-Amal, G. Tayebirad, M. Molayem +3
Ground state energies for confined hydrogen (H) and helium (He) atoms, inside a penetrable/impenetrable compartment have been calculated using Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method. S…
