First-principles density-functional calculations for graphene and defective graphene are used to examine when the quasi-two-dimensional electrons near the Fermi energy in graphene could be represented by massless fermions obeying a Dirac-Weyl (DW) equation. The DW model is found to be inapplicable to defective graphen…

We present herein a rational approach to probe the torsional strain-induced electronic transition energy Eii variation of individual SWNTs by resonant Raman spectroscopy (RRS). When a SWNT was manipulated by AFM tip through a path perpendicular to SWNT axis, both torsional and uniaxial strain would be introduced in SW…

The Heusler alloys Co 2 MnSi and NiMnSb are predicted to be 100% spin-polarized and are leading candidate materials for spin-injection and detection in hybrid spintronic devices. Co 2 MnSi is lattice matched with GaAs, whereas NiMnSb is strongly mismatched to GaAs. Here, we study the temperature and thickness dependen…

The reduction of the Ag(111)-p(4x4)-O surface oxide with CO was used to study the restructuring of the surface during reaction. Scanning tunneling microscopy images taken during the reaction show the formation of Ag islands and pits within the reacted areas surrounded by unreacted p(4x4)-O. The number of Ag adatoms in…
