Theoretical Results

Abstract We theoretically express quantum transport at Dirac points via graphene quantum billiard as a non-magnetic material to connect metallic leads. Our results indicate that the quantum billiard of graphene is similar to a resonant tunnelling device. The centerpiece size and the Fermi energy of the graphene quantum billiard play an important role in the resonant tunnelling. In graphene, change of carrier density can affect plasmon polaritons. At the Dirac point, the conductivity of graphene depends on the geometry, so that the conduction of the evanescent modes is close to the theoretical value of 4e2/πh (where Planck's constant and the electron charge are denoted by h and e, respectively.). This transport property can be used to justify chaotic quantum systems and ballistic transistors. Our theoretical results demonstrate that the local density of state of the graphene sheet for EL = ER = 0 is larger than EL = ER = t (where EL (ER) is onsite energy of the left (right) metallic lead) unlike the current obtained from the calculations.

Anisotropic Mechanical Properties

The local-density approximation (LDA) coupled with the virtual crystal approximation (VCA) method electronic structure is applied to evaluate elastic constants, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio mechanic properties of metal zirconium, Zircaloy-2 and Zircaloy-4. The results show that there is no obvious difference in band structure and total density of state (DOS) between metal zirconium and zirconium alloy. However, p and d electron partial density of state (PDOS) presents the slight difference between metal zirconium and zirconium alloy. Zircaloy-2 and Zircaloy-4 present better elastic mechanical properties than metal zirconium. The metal zirconium and zirconium alloy show the anisotropic mechanical properties.

Forms Of Carbon

Understanding carbon in its various forms became recently the focus of many research activities due to the production of C 60 and other fullerenes. Besides the fullerenes, other novel forms of carbon might be realized in the laboratory. In this respect, the physics of low-dimensional carbon configurations is of special interest. We will discuss the effect of defects on a graphitic sheet, ‘rotated’ stacking of graphitic sheets, and the adsorption characteristics of submonolayer carbon on graphite. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, we find that the local density of states can strongly vary due to defects, or layer misorientations, leading to periodic modulations of the graphitic electron state density. A variety of observed anomalous structures are explained by lateral electron state density variations rather than by atomic reconstructions.

Z Contrast

AbstractWith the help of the high resolution Z-contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), the near edge fine structures of the electron loss spectroscopy (EELS) arises from different layers are investigated in SBT. The EELS spectra are interpreted by comparing with the calculation using linearnized augment plane wave (LAPW) method within the local density approximation (LDA). The oxygen bonding nature in different layers are discussed. In Bi2O2 layer, oxygen 2p state interacted with the Bi 6p state leads to a high t2g state in density of state while in SrTa2O7 layer, oxygen 2p state hybridized with Ta 5d and Sr 5d, which leads a higher eg state than t2g state.

We present a theoretic study on scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) of a magnetic adatom on graphene. Three typical configurations of adatoms on graphene are considered explicitly: the adatom is on the top of a carbon atom (TC), in a substitutional site (SC), or above the center of the honeycomb hexagon (HC). Based on the nonequilibrium Green's function method, we derive the local density of state (LDOS) for the adatom and the differential conductance through the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) device. Our results show that in comparison with the cases of the TC and SC, there exists an anomalous broadening of the local adatom energy level in the HC, which pushes the adatom energy to first cross the Fermi level, leading to the appearance of an antiresonance in the LDOS due to the interference between the Kondo resonance and the broadened adatom level. Correspondingly, the bias dependence of the differential conductance in the HC exhibits a more asymmetric sharp Kondo peak pinned to the gate voltage, and its height still remains significantly large compared to that for the other two cases. Additionally, with decreasing the gate voltage, the Kondo peak in the differential conductance gradually decays, and eventually vanishes in the absence of the gate voltage.

Density Of State

On basis of the Hubbard model density of states of the 2D square nanosystem by size of N × N aluminum atoms with N = 3÷30, and also density of states of the 2D aluminum square nanocluster, where one of the aluminum atom is changed by oxygen atom, is calculated. It is shown that the local density of state depends on the total number of atoms in the cluster, and also on the location of atom in a lattice and the atom sort in a lattice site.

Coupling Phenomena

Spin-polarised electrons provide unique experimental access to magnetic properties of surfaces and layered structures. The combined use of different techniques allows us to develop a microscopic picture of the physics underlying the macroscopic magnetic properties, e.g. magnetic phase transitions, magnetic coupling phenomena, exceptional surface magnetic properties. In this paper, two techniques are described together with the kind of questions addressed by them. Spin-resolved appearance potential spectroscopy gives local magnetic information about multi-component systems by probing the spin-dependent local density of unoccupied states. Spin-resolved inverse photo-emission measures specific electron states above the Fermi level. In particular, two-dimensional states serve as magnetic sensors at surfaces. Examples from surfaces as well as thin-film structures of band and local-moment ferromagnets are presented.

Linearized Augmented Plane Wave

Full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave (FP-LAPW) method within the local density approximation plus self-interaction correction (LDA+USIC) has been applied to study the structure stability and electronic structure of ReSi1.75 and its doped systems with Al and Mo. Structural relaxation results show that the vacancy prefers to occupy the Si3 and Si4 site in the lattice with little ordering. For doping systems, Al prefers to substitute for Si at the Si3 site and Mo prefers to substitute for Re at the Re1 site. ReSi1.75 shows narrow gap semiconductor behavior with an indirect gap of 0.12 eV and a direct gap of 0.36 eV. Al doping compound remains semiconductor while Mo doping compound has a tendency to change into semimetals or metals. The Fermi level of doped systems moves into the valence band resulting in an increase of density of state at the Fermi level. It will enhance the thermoelectric properties and agrees well with the experiment results.
