DFT computations with dispersion corrections were performed to investigate dihalogen interactions and their effect on the electronic band structures of halogenated BN bilayers and aligned halogen-passivated zigzag BN nanoribbons (BNNRs).

We theoretically evaluate the electronic band structures in carbon nanotubes with nanoscale periodic pores with a tight-binding approximation of π electrons, and demonstrate that band gaps of the carbon nanotubes with nanoscale periodic pores differ significantly from those of conventional carbon nanotubes. The band gaps of the carbon nanotubes with nanoscale periodic pores depend strongly on the size of pores and inter-pore distances. In some carbon nanotubes with nanoscale periodic pores, band gaps are constant as a function of their circumferences. In other ones, band gaps have the exact periodicity of three as a function of their circumferences. Those behaviors can be explained by taking properties of nanoscale periodic porous graphite into consideration. In some carbon nanotubes with relatively large nanoscale periodic pores, flat bands appear, which may cause singular properties about magnetism in one-dimensional porous carbon nanotubes.

Abstract We calculate the electronic band structures and topological properties of twisted homobilayer transition metal dichalcogenides(t-TMDs), in particular, bilayer MoTe2 and WSe2 based on a low-energy effective continuum model. We systematically show how the twist angle, vertical electric field and pressure modify the band structures of t-TMDs, often accompanied by topological transitions.We find the variation of topological transitions mainly take place in a limited range of parameters. The electric field can efficiently tune the energy of the topmost second valence band to motify the Chern numbers of the topmost three valance bands. The topological property of the topmost first valance band can be modified by electric field and pressure, but doesn’t depend on twist angle. We show the band gap between the topmost second and third valance bands that both change from non-trivial to trivial closes at κ − -point of the moiré Brillouin zone.

This work highlights the importance of a rational design for more energetically suitable nitrogen reduction reaction routes and mechanisms by regulating the electronic band structures with phase-selective defect sites.

The theory of Part I of this series (McRae 1961) is developed in detail for dimeric systems. The simplest possible theory of the exciton states for a system of two non-rigid molecules is obtained through the use of perturbation theory. The theory makes possible the prediction of electronic band structures in absorption and fluorescence spectra as functions of the theoretical Davydov splitting for two rigid molecules. Numerical calculations are made for a dimer of a typical dye, and the results are compared with the observed absorption spectrum of the 1,1'-diethyl-2,2'-pyridocyanine iodide dimer.
