Doping of 3d Transition Metals o n Monolayer o f Graphene a nd Borophene

We Study the doping of various metallic 3d transition metal (TM) atoms like iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu) and Nickel (Ni) on monolayer of the borophene and graphene. These 2D layers show energy dispersion and metalloid properties because its band gap is very less or near to zero. We explored borophene is semi-metallic with the titled Dirac cone and graphene is semi metallic whose conduction and valence bands meets at Dirac cone. We analyzed the adsorption of 3d transition metal (TM) on the 2D layers through density functional theory (DFT) based calculations. In this paper, we observed the most suitable and acceptable adsorption site for each adatom, and calculated the binding energy per atom, density of states and magnetic moment of resulting borophene and graphene-adatom system. Here, we find that Nickel (Ni) is perfect as electron doping and iron (Fe) is the most effective for magnetically doped borophene. In the case of graphene we find that Co is most suitable for magnetically doping and Cu is best for electron doping.

Nanophotonics shines light on hyperbolic metamaterials

Hyperbolic metamaterials with a unique hyperbolic dispersion relation allow propagating waves with infinitely large wavevectors and a high density of states. Researchers from Korea and Singapore provide a comprehensive review of hyperbolic metamaterials, including artificially structured hyperbolic media and natural hyperbolic materials. They explain key nanophotonic concepts and describe a range of applications for these versatile materials.

A thermodynamic origin for the Cohen-Kaplan-Nelson bound

The Cohen-Kaplan-Nelson bound is imposed on the grounds of logical consistency (with classical General Relativity) upon local quantum field theories. This paper puts the bound into the context of a thermodynamic principle applicable to a field with a particular equation of state in an expanding universe. This is achieved without overtly appealing to either a decreasing density of states or a minimum coupling requirement, though they might still be consistent with the results described. The paper establishes that the holographic principle applied to cosmology is consistent with minimizing the free energy of the universe in the canonical ensemble, upon the assumption that the ultraviolet cutoff is a function of the causal horizon scale.

CALCULATION OF ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF 2D NaAu INTERMETALLIC LAYERS

Проведен расчет плотности состояний различной толщины 2D -слоев интерметаллида NaAu. 2D -слоев интерметаллида NaAu моделировались суперячейки NaAu (111) 2 х 2 х 2. Для монослойного 2D -слоя интерметаллида NaAu установлено наличие запрещенной зоны с шириной 1,87 эВ. Увеличение толщины толщины 2D -слоев интерметаллида NaAu до двух монослоев показал уменьшение ширины запрещенной зоны до 0,81эВ. Дальнейшее увеличение толщины 2D -слоев интерметаллида NaAu приводит к исчезновению запрещенной зоны, что указывает на переход полупроводник - металл для 2D -слоя интерметаллида NaAu толщиной три монослоя. Валентная зона 2D -слоя интерметаллида NaAu сформирована в основном Au 5d электронами, с незначительным вкладом Au 6s и Au 6p электронов. Зона проводимости NaAu образована в основном Au 6р электронами с незначительным вкладом электронов Na 3 s . The calculation of the density of states of various thicknesses of the 2D -layers of the intermetallic compound has been carried out. 2D -layers of intermetallic compound NaAu are simulated by supercells NaAu (111) 2 x 2 x 2. For a monolayer 2D -layer of an intermetallic compound NaAu the presence of a bandgap with a width of 1,87 eV has been established. An increase in the thickness of the 2D -layers of the intermetallic compound NaAu to two monolayers showed a decrease in the bandgap to 0,81 eV. A further increase in the thickness of the 2D -layers of the intermetallic compound NaAu leads to the disappearance of the band gap, which indicates a semiconductor-metal transition for the 2D -layer of the intermetallic compound NaAu with a thickness of three monolayers. The valence band of the 2D -layer of the intermetallic compound NaAu is formed mainly by Au 5d electrons, with an insignificant contribution from Au 6s and Au 6p electrons. The conduction band of NaAu is formed mainly by Au 6p electrons with an insignificant contribution of electrons Na 3s .
