Mechano-electronic superlattices in silicon nanoribbons.
Significant new mechanical and electronic phenomena can arise in single-crystal semiconductors when their thickness reaches nanometer dimensions, where the two surfaces of the crystal are physically close enough to each other that what happens at one surface influences what happens at the other. We show experimentally that, in silicon nanomembranes, through-membrane elastic interactions cause t...
متن کاملElectronic phase diagram of single-element silicon "strain" superlattices.
The evidence that the band gap of Si changes significantly with strain suggests that by alternating regions of strained and unstrained Si one creates a single-element electronic heterojunction superlattice (SL), with the carrier confinement defined by strain rather than by the chemical differences in conventional compositional SLs. Using first-principles calculations, we map out the electronic ...
متن کاملThermoelectric properties of graphene nanoribbons, junctions and superlattices.
Using model interaction Hamiltonians for both electrons and phonons and Green's function formalism for ballistic transport, we have studied the thermal conductance and the thermoelectric properties of graphene nanoribbons (GNR), GNR junctions and periodic superlattices. Among our findings we have established the role that interfaces play in determining the thermoelectric response of GNR systems...
متن کاملThermal conductivity of individual silicon nanoribbons.
The thermal conductivities of two groups of silicon nanoribbons of ∼20 and ∼30 nm thickness and various widths have been measured and analyzed through combining the Callaway model and the Fuchs-Sondheimer (FS) reduction function. The results show that while the data for the ∼30 nm thick ribbons can be well-explained by the classical size effect, the measured thermal conductivities for the ∼20 n...
متن کاملElectronic and magnetic reconstructions in manganite superlattices
We investigate the electronic reconstruction at the interface between ferromagnetic metallic (FM) and antiferromagnetic insulating (AFI) manganites in superlattices using a two-orbital double-exchange model including superexchange interactions, Jahn-Teller lattice distortions, and long-range Coulomb interactions. The magnetic and transport properties critically depend on the thickness of the AF...
