We aim to outline the current challenges and suggest how future work will be geared towards developing spin qubits in 2D materials.doi:10.1016/j.physrep.2016.12.002Chiu, Kuei-LinXu, YangPhysics ReportsK.-L. Chiu, Y. Xu, Single-electron transport in graphene-like nanostructures. Phys. Rep. ...
Due to the high in﹑lane Young's modulus and defects, graphene is prone to deformations such as wrinkles. The effects of wrinkles on the mass and electron transport properties need to be elucidated as graphene has great potential in applications such as catalysis, sensors, energy storage, and ...
In electronic transport, umklapp processes play a fundamental role as the only intrinsic mechanism that allows electrons to transfer momentum to the crystal lattice and, therefore, provide a finite electrical resistance in pure metals1,2. However, umklapp scattering is difficult to demonstrate in exper...
The relativistic massless charge carriers with a Fermi velocity of about c/300 in graphene enable us to realize two distinct types of resonances (here, c is the speed of light in vacuum). One is the electron whispering-gallery mode in graphene quantum do
First-principles quantum transportTight-binding methodIn this article we highlight recent work in which we computed the spin unpolarized coherent electron transport through two terminal nanoscale graphene/metal junctions using equilibrium Green's functions coupled to Density functional theory, capturing in ...
Solid state electron transport can be defined as a system in which electrons or other charge carriers are transported throughout a completely solid material such as crystalline, polycrystalline, or amorphous materials (Weik, 1997). From: Bioresource Technology, 2015 ...
This work reports on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with an electroplated graphene electron transport layer. The induced electroplating graphene layer in the DSSC structure substantially improves the performance of the DSSCs because the electroplated graphene exhibits superior conductivity and a favorab...
Our GB-HETs exhibit a current saturation with a high current on-off ratio (>10(5)), which results from both the vertical transport of hot electrons across the ultrathin graphene base and the filtering of hot electrons through a built-in energy barrier. The influences of the materials and ...
This AcMet coordination could thus block the electron flow through electron transport chains of ‘Ca. M. nitroreducens’ for the observed inhibition of silver reduction. These results collectively suggest that ‘Ca. M. nitroreducens’ uses direct EET pathways for Ag (I) reduction to Ag (0) ...
10). In principle, it should be possible to use such mesoscopic physics tools to probe e–e interactions in graphene but, because of its ballistic transport at micrometer-scale distances, the approach is not easy to implement in practice and its results could be difficult to interpret. On ...
