Atomic Scale Ordering of Sulfur Vacancies Enhances Charge Transport in Monolayer MoS
Alessandro Pecchia, Andrea Lorenzoni, Alexander Croy +2
Defect engineering in two-dimensional semiconductors has primarily focused on controlling the nature and concentration of atomic defects. Here, we show that the spatial arrangement…
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…
Thermal bridging of graphene nanosheets via covalent molecular junctions. a Non-Equilibrium Green Functions Density Functional Tight-Binding study
Diego Martinez, Alessandro di Pierro, Alessandro Pecchia +7
Despite the uniquely high thermal conductivity of graphene is well known, the exploitation of graphene into thermally conductive nanomaterials and devices is limited by the ineffic…
Large deviation theory to model systems under an external feedback
Alessio Gagliardi, Alessandro Pecchia, Aldo Di Carlo
In this paper we address the problem of systems under an external feedback. This is performed using a large deviation approach and rate distortion from information theory. In parti…
Single-molecule Electronics: Cooling Individual Vibrational Modes by the Tunneling Current
Jacob Lykkebo, Giuseppe Romano, Alessio Gagliardi +2
Electronic devices composed of single molecules constitute the ultimate limit in the continued downscaling of electronic components. A key challenge for single-molecule electronics…
Unraveling the "Green Gap" problem: The role of random alloy fluctuations in InGaN/GaN light emitting diodes
Matthias Auf der Maur, Alessandro Pecchia, Gabriele Penazzi +2
White light emitting diodes based on III-nitride InGaN/GaN quantum wells currently offer the highest overall efficiency for solid state lighting applications. Although current phos…
