Unusual electric polarization behavior in elemental quasi-2D allotropes of selenium
Dan Liu, Lin Han, Ran Wei +4
We investigate tunable electric polarization and electronic structure of quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) allotropes of selenium, which are formed from their constituent one-dimens…
Ferroelectricity induced by the absorption of water molecules on double helix SnIP
Dan Liu, Ran Wei, Lin Han +2
We study the ferroelectricity in a one-dimensional system composed of a double helix SnIP with absorbing water molecules. Our ab initio calculations reveal two factors that are cri…
Efficient Growth and Characterization of One Dimensional Transition Metal Tellurides Inside Carbon Nanotubes
Naoyuki Kanda, Yusuke Nakanishi, Dan Liu +5
Atomically thin one dimensional (1D) van der Waals wires of transition metal monochalocogenides (TMMs) have been anticipated as promising building blocks for integrated nanoelectro…
Strain-Controlled Magnetic Ordering in 2D Carbon Metamaterials
Dan Liu, Eunja Kim, Philippe F. Weck +1
We use ab initio spin-polarized density functional theory to study the magnetic order in a Kagomé-like 2D metamaterial consisting of pristine or substitutionally doped phenalenyl r…
Catalytic Formation of Narrow Nb Nanowires inside Carbon Nanotubes
Dan Liu, David Tomanek
We propose a previously unexplored way to form Nb nanowires from NbCl molecules inside carbon nanotubes (CNTs). We have studied this reaction by ab initio density functional ca…
In-Plane Breathing and Shear Modes in Low-Dimensional Nanostructures
Dan Liu, Colin Daniels, Vincent Meunier +2
We use continuum elasticity theory to revise scaling laws for radial breathing-like and shear-like vibration modes in quasi-2D nanostructures including finite-width nanoribbons and…
