The electronic ground state of a periodic system is usually described in terms of extended
Bloch orbitals, but an alternative representation in terms of localized “Wannier functions” …

In this Colloquium the theory of silicon nanowires is reviewed. Nanowires with diameters
below 10 nm are the focus, where quantum effects become important and the properties …

We present a series of molecular dynamics, lattice dynamics, and Boltzmann transport
equation calculations aimed at understanding heat transport in Silicon nanowires. In …

The trend predicted by Moore's law sets forth strict requirements on the electronic properties
of materials that cannot always be satisfied by conventional semiconductors. Thus, the last …

In recent years, predictive computational modeling has become a cornerstone for the study
of fundamental electronic, optical, and thermal properties in complex forms of condensed …

We compute both electron and phonon transmissions in thin disordered silicon nanowires
(SiNWs). Our atomistic approach is based on tight-binding and empirical potential …

Various sizes and shapes of Mn 3 O 4 nanocrystals have been prepared in a one-pot
synthesis in extremely dilute solution by soft template self-assembly. To better control size …

We present calculations of the electronic and thermal transport properties of graphene
antidot lattices with a finite length along the transport direction. The calculations are based …

We consider some of the significant aspects of Silicon nanowires (NWs), referring to their
various modes of fabrication and their measured properties. Lithographic patterning as well …

We combine the ideas of scaling theory and universal conductance fluctuations with density-
functional theory to analyze the conductance properties of doped silicon nanowires …
