Dynamical evolution of the Schottky barrier as a determinant contribution to electron-hole pair stabilization and photocatalysis of plasmon-induced hot carriers
Matias Berdakin, German Soldano, Franco P. Bonafé +4
The harnessing of plasmon-induced hot carriers promises to open new avenues for the development of clean energies and chemical catalysis. The extraction of carriers before thermali…
Fano resonance and incoherent interlayer excitons in molecular van der Waals heterostructures
Carlos R. Lien-Medrano, Franco P. Bonafé, Chi Yung Yam +3
Complex van der Waals heterostructures from layered molecular stacks are promising optoelectronic materials offering means to efficient, modular charge separation and collection la…
Phononic thermal transport along graphene grain boundaries
Zhen Tong, Alessandro Pecchia, ChiYung Yam +2
We reveal that phononic thermal transport in graphene is not immune to grain boundaries (GBs) aligned along the direction of the temperature gradient. Non-equilibrium molecular dyn…
Optically driven ultrafast magnetic order transitions in two-dimensional ferrimagnets
Junjie He, Thomas Frauenheim
Laser-induced switching and manipulation of the spins in magnetic materials are of great interest to revolutionize future magnetic storage technology and spintronics with fastest s…
Vibronic Dephasing Model for Coherent-to-Incoherent Crossover in DNA
Patrick Karasch, Dmitry A. Ryndyk, Thomas Frauenheim
In this work we investigate the interplay between coherent and incoherent charge transport in cytosine-guanine (GC) rich DNA molecules. Our objective is to introduce physically gro…
Optically and electrically controllable adatom spin-orbital dynamics in transition metal dichalcogenides
Bin Shao, Malte Schüler, Gunnar Schönhoff +3
We analyze the interplay of spin-valley coupling, orbital physics and magnetic anisotropy taking place at single magnetic atoms adsorbed on semiconducting transition-metal dichalco…
