One-dimensional potential for image-potential states on graphene
(IOP Publishing, 2014-02-05)
In the framework of dielectric theory, the static non-local self-energy of an electron near an ultra-thin polarizable layer has been calculated and applied to study binding energies of image-potential states near free-standing ...
Higher order vortex gyrotropic modes in circular ferromagnetic nanodots
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-04-25)
Magnetic vortex that consists of an in-plane curling magnetization configuration and a needle-like core region with out-of-plane magnetization is known to be the ground state of geometrically confined submicron soft magnetic ...
Microwave absorption properties of permalloy nanodots in the vortex and quasi-uniform magnetization states
(IOP Publishing, 2014-06-19)
When the in-plane bias magnetic field acting on a flat circular magnetic dot is smaller than the saturation field, there are two stable competing magnetization configurations of the dot: the vortex and the quasi-uniform ...
Hole-Phonon Relaxation and Photocatalytic Properties of Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide: First-Principles Approach
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
First-principles calculations for the temporal characteristics of hole-phonon relaxation in the valence band of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide have been performed. A first-principles method for the calculations of the ...
Quantum ricochets: surface capture, release and energy loss of fast ions hitting a polar surface at grazing incidence
(IOP Publishing, 2014-06-09)
A diffraction mechanism is proposed for the capture, multiple bouncing and final escape of a fast ion (keV) impinging on the surface of a polarizable material at grazing incidence. Capture and escape are effected by elastic ...
Electronic properties of graphene grain boundaries
(IOP Publishing, 2014-08-08)
Grain boundaries and defect lines in graphene are intensively studied for their novel electronic and magnetic properties. However, there is not a complete comprehension of the appearance of localized states along these ...
Giant diamagnetism of gold nanorods
(IOP Publishing, 2014-07-30)
The presence of giant diamagnetism in Au nanorods, NRs, is shown to be a possible consequence of field induced currents in the surface electrons. The distance, Delta , between quantum surface energy levels has been calculated ...
Spin-helical Dirac states in graphene induced by polar-substrate surfaces with giant spin-orbit interaction: a new platform for spintronics
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-11-04)
Spintronics, or spin electronics, is aimed at efficient control and manipulation of spin degrees of freedom in electron systems. To comply with demands of nowaday spintronics, the studies of electron systems hosting giant ...
Defect and structural imperfection effects on the electronic properties of BiTeI surfaces
(IOP Publishing, 2014-07-24)
The surface electronic structure of the narrow-gap seminconductor BiTeI exhibits a large Rashba-splitting which strongly depends on the surface termination. Here we report on a detailed investigation of the surface morphology ...
Nonlinear magnetic vortex dynamics in a circular nanodot excited by spin-polarized current
(Springer International Publishing, 2014-08-08)
We investigate analytically and numerically nonlinear vortex spin torque oscillator dynamics in a circular magnetic nanodot induced by a spin-polarized current perpendicular to the dot plane. We use a generalized nonlinear ...
