Role of electronic excitations in ion collisions with carbon nanostructures.
By combining ab initio time-dependent density functional calculations for electrons with molecular dynamics simulations for ions in real time, we investigate the microscopic mechanism of collisions between energetic protons and graphitic carbon nanostructures. We identify not only the amount of energy lost by the projectile, but also the electronic and ionic degrees of freedom of the target tha...
متن کاملMagnetic Triplet Excitations in Graphene
When doping graphene an unique window appears in the electron–hole excitation spectrum. Including the Coulomb interaction through the Hubbard Hamiltonian results in bound state formation in graphene. The bound states we analyze represent triplet excitations, i.e. magnons, with spin 1. When increasing the strength of the Coulomb interaction, electron–hole pairs are dragged down into the window. ...
متن کاملPlasmonic excitations in tight-binding nanostructures
We explore the collective electromagnetic response in atomic clusters of various sizes and geometries. Our aim is to understand, and hence to control, their dielectric response based on a fully quantum-mechanical description which captures accurately their relevant collective modes. The electronic energy levels and wave functions, calculated within the tight-binding model, are used to determine...
متن کاملOptical excitations in stoichiometric uncapped ZnS nanostructures.
We calculate the optical absorption spectra of low-energy uncapped zinc sulfide nanostructures found by global optimisation (basin-hopping/simulated annealing) using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and compare the results with experimental spectra. We predict that for all nanostructures studied the lowest excited state found by TD-DFT corresponds to an exciton with an exciton ...
متن کاملPlasmon excitations in carbon nanotubes
Electron-energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a high-resolution transmission electron microscope can be used to study the excitation of plasmons in nanometre-size particles with high spatial resolution. For isotropic particles of various shapes, models which allow the attribution of the experimental peaks to a certain excitation mechanism and to understand sizeor geometry-dependent variations are...
