Modification of optical phonon spectra in contacting nonpolar nanoparticles compared to single particles is studied. Optical phonons in dielectric and semiconducting particles obey the Euclidean metric Klein-Fock-Gordon equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. This equation is supposed to be solved numerically for manifolds of cojoined spheres. It is proposed to replace this problem with the simpler-to-solve ...

Disorder-induced broadening of optical vibrational eigenmodes in nanoparticles of nonpolar crystals is studied
numerically. The methods previously used to treat the phonons in defectless particles are adjusted for numerical
evaluation of the disordered problem. Imperfections in the forms of Gaussian and binary disorders as well
as surface irregularities are investigated thoroughly in a wide range of impurity concentrations ...

The development of active and passive plasmonic devices is challenging due to the high level of dissipation in normal metals. One possible solution to this problem is using alternative materials. Graphene is a good candidate for plasmonics in the near-infrared region. In this paper, we develop a quantum theory of a graphene plasmon generator. We account for quantum correlations ...

The rectification of electromagnetic waves to direct currents is a crucial process for energy harvesting, beyond-5G wireless communications, ultra-fast science, and observational astronomy. As the radiation frequency is raised to the sub-terahertz (THz) domain, ac-to-dc conversion by conventional electronics becomes challenging and requires alternative rectification protocols. Here, we address this challenge by tunnel field-effect transistors ...

We propose an intracavity plasmon absorption spectroscopy method based on graphene active plasmonics. It is shown that the plasmonic cavity contribution to the sensitivity is proportional to the quality factor Q of the graphene plasmonic cavity and reaches two orders of magnitude. The addition of gain medium into the cavity increases the sensitivity of method. ...

Following the game-changing high-pressure CO (HiPco) process that
established the first facile route toward large-scale production of single-walled
carbon nanotubes, CO synthesis of cm-sized graphene crystals of ultra-high
purity grown during tens of minutes is proposed. The Boudouard reaction
serves for the first time to produce individual monolayer structures on the
surface of a metal catalyst, thereby providing a chemical ...

The influence of helium pressure on the mechanisms of diffusion of the He-filled nanobubbles in fcc Al is investigated by the classical molecular dynamics. It is shown that at pressures <20 kbar gas suppresses self-diffusion, while the concentration of adatoms, rather than their mobility, plays a key role. However, as the pressure increases to values at which ...

Plasma functionalization of graphene is one of the facile ways to tune its doping level without the
need for wet chemicals making graphene photoluminescent. Microscopic corrugations in the twodimensional
structure of bilayer CVD graphene having a quasi-free-suspended top layer, such as
graphene ripples, nanodomes, and bubbles, may significantly enhance local reactivity leading to
etching effects on exposure to plasma. ...

Supercapacitors based on carbon nanomaterials are attracting much attention because of their high capacitance enabled by large specific surface area. The introduction of heteroatoms such as N or O enhances the specific capacitance of these materials. However, the mechanisms that lead to the increase in the specific capacitance are not yet well-studied. In this Letter, we ...

Magnetoplasmons on graphene edges in quantizing magnetic fields are investigated at different Landau-level filling factors. To find the mode frequency, the optical conductivity tensor of disordered graphene in a magnetic field is calculated in the self-consistent Born approximation, and the nonlocal electromagnetic problem is solved using the Wiener-Hopf method. Magnetoplasmon dispersion relations, velocities, and attenuation ...

We report on detection of sub-THz radiation (129-430 GHz) using graphene based asymmetric field-effect transistor (FET) structures with different channel geometry: monolayer graphene, graphene nanoribbons. In all devices types we observed the similar trends of response on sub-THz radiation. The response fell with increasing frequency at room temperature, but increased with increasing frequency at 77 ...

We study, both theoretically and experimentally, the features on the current-voltage characteristic of a highly transparent Josephson junction caused by transition of the superconducting leads to the normal state. These features appear due to the suppression of the Andreev excess current.We show that by tracing the dependence of the voltage, at which the transition occurs, ...

Plasmon spectroscopy methods are highly sensitive to the small volumes of material due to subwavelength localization of light increasing light-matter interaction. Recent research has shown a high potential of plasmon quantum generator (spaser) or amplifier (sped) for sensing in the infrared optical region. Trinitrotoluene (TNT) molecules fingerprints are considered as an example. Basing on Lindblad ...

Condensation of pairs formed by spatially separated electrons and holes in a system of two isolated graphene layers is studied beyond the mean-field approximation. Suppression of the screening of the pairing interaction at large distances, caused by the appearance of the gap, is considered self-consistently. A mutual positive feedback between the appearance of the gap ...

The phase of quantum magneto-oscillations is often associated with the Berry phase and is widely used to
argue in favor of topological nontriviality of the system (Berry phase 2πn + π). Nevertheless, the experimentally
determined value may deviate from 2πn + π arbitrarily, therefore more care should be made analyzing the
phase of magneto-oscillations to distinguish trivial systems ...

In crystalline nanoparticles, the Raman peak is downshifted with respect to the bulk material and has asymmetric
broadening. These effects are straightly related to the finite size of nanoparticles, giving the perspective to use Raman spectroscopy as the size probe. By combining the dynamical matrix method (DMM) and the bond polarization model (BPM), we develop a ...

We demonstrate that a key elastic parameter of a suspended crystalline membrane—the Poisson ratio (PR) ν—is a nontrivial function of the applied stress σ and of the system size L, i.e., ν=νL(σ). We consider a generic two-dimensional membrane embedded into space of dimensionality 2+dc. (The physical situation corresponds to dc=1.) A particularly important application of our results is to freestanding graphene. We ...
