Effect of Electronic and Optical Properties of Quantum Dots on Hydrogenation of

Ahmed M., Newcastle University, UK

Functionalization of silicon surfaces at the nanoclusters size is a crucial step that can give a great opportunity to use them in an enormous range of applications, including optical sensing, biological fluorescence imaging and optoelectronic [...]

Carbon nanotube superlattices- An oscillatory metallic behaviour

Agrawal B.K., Pathak A., Allahabad University, IN

The physical properties of the (n,n)/(2n,0); n = 3 and 6 superlattices of the carbon nanotubes (CN’s) has been studied by employing the first–principle pseudopotential method. The curvature effects on the various properties are also [...]

The Influence of DNA Wrapping on SWNT Optical Absorption in Perpendicular Polarization

Snyder S.E., Rotkin S.V., Lehigh University, US

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) hold great promise for the next generation of electronic devices due to their small, biologically compatible size, exceptional electronic properties, and the range of bandgaps accessible with variations in diameter and [...]
