Ballistic atomic transport in narrow carbon nanotubes
Alberto Ambrosetti, Pier Luigi Silvestrelli, John F. Dobson +1
Friction forces are conventionally modeled via semiclassical theories that associate energy dissipation with newtonian motion on corrugated interface potentials. This consolidated…

Sliding properties of Transition Metal Dichalcogenide bilayers
Pier Luigi Silvestrelli, S. Subashchandrabose, Alberto Ambrosetti +1
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are valuable as solid lubricants because of their layered structure, which allows for easy shearing along the basal planes. Using Density Fu…

Borophane as substrate for adsorption of He-4: A journey across dimensionality
Stefania De Palo, Saverio Moroni, Francesco Ancilotto +2
In search of substrates for adsorption of He atoms allowing for novel quantum phases in restricted geometry we study the case of borophane. We focus on two allotropes of borophane,…
