Tailoring the thermal expansion of graphene via controlled defect creation
Guillermo López-Polín, Maria Ortega, J. G. Vilhena +5
Contrary to most materials, graphene exhibits a negative thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), i.e it contracts when heated. This contraction is due to the thermal excitation of low…
Identification and characterization of icosahedral metallic nanowires
Samuel Peláez, Carlo Guerrero, Ricardo Paredes +2
We present and discuss an algorithm to identify and characterize the long icosahedral structures (staggered pentagonal nanowires with 1-5-1-5 atomic structure) that appear in Molec…
Ballistic resistivity in aluminum nanocontacts
A. Hasmy, A. J. Perez-Jimenez, J. J. Palacios +5
One of the major industrial challenges is to profit from some fascinating physical features present at the nanoscale. The production of dissipationless nanoswitches (or nanocontact…
