Predictions of observable properties by density-functional theory calculations (DFT) are
used increasingly often by experimental condensed-matter physicists and materials …

This article is a review of the dissipation processes in nanoelectromechanical systems
(NEMS). As NEMS technology becomes more and more prevalent in research and …

Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) material with over 100-fold anisotropy of heat flow
between the in-plane and out-of-plane directions. High in-plane thermal conductivity is due …

MXenes, carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides of early transition metals are the new members
of two dimensional materials family given with a formula of ${{\rm {M}}} _ {n+ 1} $ X n. Recent …

A plethora of single-photon emitters have been identified in the atomic layers of two-
dimensional van der Waals materials,,,,,,–. Here, we report on a set of isolated optical …

Graphene-based sp 2-carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes and nanofibers can
fail near their ideal strengths due to their exceedingly small dimensions. We have calculated …

We investigate the distribution and temperature-dependent optical properties of sharp, zero-
phonon emission from defect-based single photon sources in multilayer hexagonal boron …

It has been argued that stanene has lowest lattice thermal conductivity among two-
dimensional (2D) group-IV materials because of its largest atomic mass, weakest interatomic …

We investigate the polarization selection rules of sharp zero-phonon lines (ZPLs) from
isolated defects in hexagonal boron nitride (HBN) and compare our findings with the …

MXenes are attracting attention due to their rich chemistry and intriguing properties. Here a
new type of metal–carbon-based sheet composed of transition metal centers and C2 dimers …
