Theory of rigid-plane phonon modes in layered crystals
K. H. Michel, B. Verberck
The lattice dynamics of low-frequency rigid-plane modes in metallic (graphene multilayers, GML) and in insulating (hexagonal boron-nitride multilayers, BNML) layered crystals is in…
Strain-induced band gaps in bilayer graphene
B. Verberck, B. Partoens, F. M. Peeters +1
We present a tight-binding investigation of strained bilayer graphene within linear elasticity theory, focusing on the different environments experienced by the A and B carbon atom…
Superposition of Quantum and Classical Rotational Motions in Sc2C2@C84 Fullerite
K. H. Michel, B. Verberck, M. Hulman +2
The superposition of the quantum rotational motion (tunneling) of the encapsulated Sc2C2 complex with the classical rotational motion of the surrounding C84 molecule in a powder cr…
Nanotube field of C60 molecules in carbon nanotubes: atomistic versus continuous tube approach
B. Verberck, K. H. Michel
We calculate the van der Waals energy of a C60 molecule when it is encapsulated in a single-walled carbon nanotube with discrete atomistic structure. orientational degrees of freed…
Theoretical model for the structural phase transition at the metal- insulator transition in polymerized KC60
B. Verberck, A. V. Nikolaev, K. H. Michel
The recently discovered structural transition in polymerized KC60 at about 50 K results in a doubling of the unit cell volume and accompanies the metal-insulator transition. Here w…
Crystal Structures of Polymerized Fullerides AC60, A=K, Rb, Cs and Alkali-mediated Interactions
B. Verberck, K. H. Michel, A. V. Nikolaev
Starting from a model of rigid interacting C60 polymer chains on an orthorhombic lattice, we study the mutual orientation of the chains and the stability of the crystalline structu…
