We report a first-principles study of edge-reconstructed, few-layered graphene nanoribbons. We find that the nanoribbon stability increases linearly with increasing width and decreases linearly with increasing number of layers (from three to six layers). Specifically, we find that a three-layer 1.3 nm wide ribbon is e…

The plasmon dispersion in $2H$ transition metal dichalcogenides has been reported to be negative, which is a strong renormalization with respect to the expectations for a homogeneous electron gas. This has been interpreted to be either due to the interaction of the plasmon oscillations with charge density fluctuations…

Films of polypyrrole/graphene on titanium mesh were prepared by electrochemical reduction of the fresh dried foam films of graphene oxide followed by an electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole. The as-obtained composite had highly surface area, conductivity, and could be used as the electrode for supercapacitors, es…

Cu 2 SnS 3 is an attractive earth abundant material for not only solar cells but also thermoelectrics because high thermoelectric performance is predicted by the first principle calculation. In our previous work, Cu 2 SnS 3 is successfully synthesized by solid phase reaction with binary compounds and obtained a high S…

Thermocells convert heat energy directly into electrical energy through charge-transfer reactions at the electrode–electrolyte interface. To perform an analytical study on the behavior of thermocells, the Onsager flux relationship was applied to thermocells, which used aqueous copper II sulfate and aqueous potassium f…

We demonstrate the sputter-deposition of WS2 onto a single-layer graphene film leaving the latter disorder-free. The sputtering process normally causes defects to the graphene lattice and adversely affects its properties. Sputtering of WS2 yields significant amounts of energetic particles, specifically negative S ions…

A magnetostrictive composite material exhibiting the capacity for large magnetostrictive strains was created by suspending magnetic wires in a soft polymer matrix. Magnetostrictive strains as large as 20% were found in an applied field of 600 Oe for this proof of concept composite. Our analysis indicates that reversib…

The oxygen vacancy (VO) is known as the main compensation center in p-type ZnO, which leads to the difficulty of fabricating high-quality p-type ZnO. To reduce the oxygen vacancies, we oxidized Zn3N2 films in oxygen plasma and successfully prepared p-type ZnO:N films at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 30…
