The phenomenon of magnetism is one of the key components of today's technological progress. Magnetic interactions and magnetic materials are essential for the scientific disciplines of physics, chemistry and biology, making this subject truly multidiscipli ...
This thesis presents an investigation of the models describing electrical conductivity in polymer nanocomposites, which consist in more or less random dispersions of nanometric conductive fillers like carbon nanotubes, nanofibers or graphene sheets in a po ...
Carbon nanotubes the long, cylindrical carbon molecules are the most exciting material discovered lately. They offer the possibility for a large number of applications. My task was to explore the way how we can use multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) in s ...
We have performed a detailed study of the intrinsic electrical conduction process in individual monolayers of chemically reduced graphene oxide down to a temperature of 2 K. The observed conductance can be consistently interpreted in the framework of two-d ...
In this thesis, the electronic structures of low-dimensional carbon allotropes have been studied. In particular, the spatially-resolved photocurrent responses of devices comprising carbon nanostructures were investigated through scanning photocurrent micro ...
We report here on the interaction of the fluorescent dye rhodamine B (RB) with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). We observe that SWCNTs statically quench the fluorescence of RB by forming a stable ground state complex. Careful spectroscopic analysis ...
In the last forty years the semiconductor industry focused on the downscaling process of the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technology, trying to follow as much as possible the empirical Moore's Law. In the last five years this trend has be ...
The magnetic properties of disordered graphene and irradiated graphite are systematically studied using a combination of mean-field Hubbard model and first-principles calculations. By considering large-scale disordered models of graphene, I conclude that o ...
A self-limiting dielectrophoresis technique, aimed at deterministically assembling individual or bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), is experimentally investigated. A limiting resistor is used to co ...
We characterize the response of isolated single-wall (SWNT) and multiwall (MWNT) carbon nanotubes and nanotube bundles to static electric fields using first-principles calculations and density-functional theory. The longitudinal polarizability of SWNTs sca ...
