Universal Density Control of Surface Reconstruction in Two-Dimensional Metals
Jinyuan Yang, Xiaoliang Zhong
We identify a unified thickness criterion for surface reconstruction in ultrathin metal sheets. The critical thickness is governed by the change in surface atomic density upon reco…
Metastability limit of pristine 2D noble metals with high-energy facet: dominance of the Bell-Evans-Polanyi principle
Xiaoliang Zhong
Using density functional theory, we predict that ultrathin (110) sheets of Rh, Pd, Ag, and Ir tend to transform into their (100) counterparts via lattice contraction. An approximat…
Formation mechanism of the (2 x 1) reconstruction of calcite (104)
Haojun Zhou, Yingquan Chen, Mingyue Ding +1
Calcite has recently attracted extensive research interest in fields ranging from geoscience to carbon dioxide removal. Although much effort has been made to study the (2x1) recons…
Oxygen modulated quantum conductance for ultra-thin HfO-based memristive switching devices
Xiaoliang Zhong, Ivan Rungger, Peter Zapol +1
Memristive switching devices, candidates for resistive random access memory technology, have been shown to switch off through a progression of states with quantized conductance and…
Franck-Condon Blockade in a Single-Molecule Transistor
E. Burzurí, Y. Yamamoto, M. Warnock +4
We investigate vibron-assisted electron transport in single-molecule transistors containing an individual Fe4 Single-Molecule Magnet. We observe a strong suppression of the tunneli…
Quantum Monte Carlo analysis of a charge ordered insulating antiferromagnet: the TiO Magnéli phase
Anouar Benali, Luke Shulenburger, Jaron T. Krogel +3
The Magnéli phase TiO is an important transition metal oxide with a wide range of applications because of its interplay between charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom…
The effect of Ta oxygen scavenger layer on HfO-based resistive switching behavior: thermodynamic stability, electronic structure, and low-bias transport
X. Zhong, I. Rungger, P. Zapol +3
Reversible resistive switching between high-resistance and low-resistance states in metal-oxide-metal heterostructures makes them very interesting for applications in random access…
Electronic and magnetic properties of Ti4O7 predicted by self-interaction corrected density functional theory
Xiaoliang Zhong, Ivan Rungger, Peter Zapol +1
Understanding electronic properties of sub-stoichiometric phases of titanium oxide such as Magnéli phase Ti4O7 is crucial in designing and modeling resistive switching devices. Her…
Effect of Electric Field on the Band Structure of Graphene/BN and BN/BN Bilayers
Radhakrishnan Balu, Xiaoliang Zhong, Ravindra Pandey +1
Effect of electric field on the band structures of graphene/BN and BN/BN bilayers is investigated within the framework of density functional theory. A relatively large degree of mo…
