Raman spectroscopy is an efficient method to characterize the graphene structure. The technique gives distinctive features for pristine, damaged and even doped graphene. Nonetheless, especially when graphene is grown on a polycrystalline substrate, strong discrepancies may appear on the macroscopic scale. Moreover, in the case of plasma irradiation of graphene, it is essential to understand...
Graphene is an interesting system for condensed matter physicists because of many potential technological applications. It is interesting to theorists as an abelian strongly coupled system that has some of the interesting properties of QCD.
We are particularly interested in studying the effects of anisotropic strain of the graphene
lattice on the critical coupling, which determines the...
Organic molecules capable of forming strongly bound self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) offer a promising route to surface modification and functionalization. Technological advances including the protection and stabilization of nanoparticles and the development of lab-on-chip sensors have been largely realized by the adsorption of alkanethiols. N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) were recently...
The delivery of a polymer chain from the chamber of origin to the destination through a nano-scale pore (nanopore) is called polymer translocation. Transport of RNA and DNA inside and into cells, virus Injection, and drug delivery are only a few examples of biological processes that polymer translocation plays a key role in. Prior to translocation, however, the chain must first find the...
A central problem in quantum error correction is to develop good codes. This problem is often reduced to maximizing the number of logical qubits $k$, and the distance $d$ relative to the number of physical qubits used $n$. Bravyi-Terhal, and Bravyi-Poulin-Terhal developed techniques showing that good codes cannot be locally embedded in a low dimensional Euclidean space.
In this work, we use...
Entropy stabilized oxides, containing a large number of different elements, exhibiting simple crystal structure have shown interesting properties such as colossal dielectric permittivity, superionic conductivity and enhanced exchange coupling.
To study how the ionic character can be tuned by using different mixtures of oxides, the effective charge for the rocksalt structure high entropy oxide...
With the proliferating global concern for environmental issues, there is a growing demand for a renewable, cost-effective, and sustainable electronics [1]. Carbon-based composite nanomaterials (i.e. graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, carbon quantum dots etc.) are a promising candidate for such applications due to their tunable electrical, optical, and mechanical properties [2]. Most...
SnIP is an exciting new quasi-1D van der Waals semiconductor with a unique double-helix structure at the atomic scale that shows promise as a new material for flexible electronics. However, due to the high resistivity of as-grown SnIP its true potential is not clear. In this work, we study SnIP-nanowire thin films using time-resolved THz spectroscopy (TRTS), a powerful ultrafast optical tool...
