Abstract

We present a hybrid surface wave device, which combines Bloch surface wave (BSW) and plasmonic nanoantennas. BSWs offer in-plane dark-field illumination. Nanoantennas squeeze the incidence into nano-size and enable far-field readout without near-field techniques.

Electronic band structure

In solid-state physics, the electronic band structure (or simply band structure) of a solid describes the range of energy levels that electrons may have within it, as well as the ranges of energy that they may not have (called band gaps or forbidden bands). Band theory derives these bands and band gaps by examining the allowed quantum mechanical wave functions for an electron in a large, periodic lattice of atoms or molecules.

In solid-state physics, the tight-binding model (or TB model) is an approach to the calculation of electronic band structure using an approximate set of wave functions based upon superposition of wave functions for isolated atoms located at each atomic site. The method is closely related to the LCAO method (linear combination of atomic orbitals method) used in chemistry. Tight-binding models are applied to a wide variety of solids.

Electrical resistivity and conductivity

Electrical resistivity (also called volume resistivity or specific electrical resistance) is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows electric current. Resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ (rho). The SI unit of electrical resistivity is the ohm-metre (Ω⋅m).

Single-Layered Hittorf's Phosphorus: A Wide-Bandgap High Mobility 2D Material

Martin Uhrin, Georg Schusteritsch

We propose here a two-dimensional material based on a single layer of violet or Hittorf's phosphorus. Using first principles density functional theory, we find it to be energetically very stable, comparable to other previously proposed single layered phosp ...

Phonon-limited resistivity of graphene by first-principles calculations: Electron-phonon interactions, strain-induced gauge field, and Boltzmann equation

Nicola Marzari, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier

We use first-principles calculations, at the density-functional-theory (DFT) and GW levels, to study both the electron-phonon interaction for acoustic phonons and the "synthetic" vector potential induced by a strain deformation (responsible for an effectiv ...
