In this dissertation, we calculate the electronic charge and heat transport generated by a temperature gradient and a chemical potential bias in tubular semiconductor nanowires, in the presence of a magnetic field. We use the Landauer-Büttiker approach ...

In this work, fundamental electronic and optical properties of semiconductor prismatic nanowires, which are a direct consequence of their geometry, are numerically studied. The quantum states of electrons confined in polygonal shells, which describe ...

Nanostructures made from crystalline silicon, especially in the form of nanowires (SiNWs), have shown great potential as pressure sensors due to their unique properties such as high sensitivity, small size, and low power consumption. When a force ...

Recent experimental data demonstrate emerging magnetic order in platinum atomically thin nanowires. Furthermore, an unusual form of magnetic anisotropy – colossal magnetic anisotropy (CMA) – was earlier predicted to exist in atomically thin platinum ...
