The magnetic and optical properties of diamond shaped graphene quantum dots (DSGQDs) have been investigated by varying their sizes with the help of density functional theory (DFT). The study of density of states (DOS) has revealed that the Fermi energy decreases with increase in sizes (number of carbon atoms). The intermediate structure with 30 carbon atoms shows the highest magnetic moment (8 mu(B), mu(B) being the Bohr magneton). The shifting of optical transitions to higher energy in smallest DSGQD (16 carbon atoms) bears the signature of stronger quantum confinement. However, for the largest structure (48 carbon atoms) multiple broad peaks appear in case of parallel polarization and in this case electron energy loss spectra (EELS) peak (in the energy range 0-5 eV) is sharp in nature (compared to high energy peak). This may be attributed to pi plasmon and the broad peak (in the range 10-16 eV) corresponds to pi + sigma plasmon. A detail calculation of the Raman spectra has indicated some prominent mode of vibrations which can be used to characterize these structures (with hydrogen terminated dangling bonds). We think that these theoretical observations can be utilized for novel device designs involving DSGQDs. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

First principles investigation of structural, electronic and optical properties of synthesized radiaannulene oligomers for 6,6,12-graphyne

Subhadip Nath, Arka Bandyopadhyay, Sabyasachi Sen, Debnarayan Jana

Summary: This study explores the Raman spectra, electronic, and optical properties of 6,6,12-graphyne oligomers from a theoretical perspective. The experimental yield of the oligomers aligns well with evaluated cohesive energy/atom, and the Raman spectra exhibit signatures of both sp(2) and sp hybridized carbon atoms. The degree of polymerization of the oligomers can be efficiently determined from the Raman active modes, indicating strong optical responses in the visible range and relevance in optoelectronic devices.

Electrically switchable giant Berry curvature dipole in silicene, germanene and stanene

Arka Bandyopadhyay, Nesta Benno Joseph, Awadhesh Narayan

Summary: This study reveals that a giant Berry curvature dipole (BCD) can be achieved in non-magnetic elemental honeycomb lattice materials, such as silicene, germanene, and stanene, through the combined effect of a transverse electric field and strain. The topology of the electronic wavefunction switches from a band inverted quantum spin Hall state to a normal insulating state without a band gap closure at the critical electric field strength. This phenomenon can be experimentally verified and leads to the emergence of a switchable nonlinear electrical and thermal Hall effect.

Extended Conjugation Acceptors Increase Specific Energy Densities in sr-Conjugated Redox Polymers

Anuraag Aithal, Jibin J. Samuel, Arka Bandyopadhyay, Varun Kumar Karrothu, Chandrasekhar Gangadharappa, Satish Patil, Awadhesh Narayan, Naga Phani B. Aetukuri

Summary: Organic materials are a sustainable alternative to replace inorganic transition metal-based cathodes in rechargeable intercalation batteries. Among them, conjugated polymers with multiple redox sites per repeat unit show high energy and power densities with resistance to dissolution. In this study, using diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based donor-acceptor (D-A) polymers, it is found that minimizing charge localization on the electron accepting repeat units leads to near theoretical discharge capacities. Furthermore, this capacity enhancement improves the rate performance and electrochemical stability of the polymer during prolonged cycling.

Spin-state switching: chemical modulation and the impact of intermolecular interactions in manganese(iii) complexes

Sukanya Bagchi, Sujit Kamilya, Sakshi Mehta, Subhankar Mandal, Arka Bandyopadhyay, Awadhesh Narayan, Subrata Ghosh, Abhishake Mondal

Summary: A series of mononuclear manganese(iii) complexes with various ligand substituents were synthesized and their spin-state switching behavior was investigated. The structural effect was found to play a more significant role in the spin-state switch than the electronic effect from different substituents. The transition temperature for the spin-state switch varied depending on the ligand substituent, with different complexes showing gradual or abrupt transitions.

Non-Hermiticity induced exceptional points and skin effect in the Haldane model on a dice lattice

Ronika Sarkar, Arka Bandyopadhyay, Awadhesh Narayan

Summary: The role of non-Hermiticity in the Chern insulating Haldane model on a dice lattice is systematically investigated in this work. Two types of non-Hermiticity, balanced non-Hermitian gain and loss, and nonreciprocal hopping, induce higher-order exceptional points of order three. The finite-sized lattice under nonreciprocal hopping exhibits a non-Hermitian skin effect, while the balanced gain and loss case does not. The occurrence of the skin effect and its robustness to disorder are demonstrated using various techniques.

Electronic and thermal transport in novel carbon-based bilayer with tetragonal rings: a combined study using first-principles and machine learning approach

Supriya Ghosal, Suman Chowdhury, Debnarayan Jana

Summary: This article systematically explores the structural, electronic, and thermal transport characteristics of bilayer tetragonal graphene using first-principles calculations and machine-learning interatomic potential approaches. The study confirms metallic band structure similar to monolayer T-graphene, and analyzes the thermal conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and electrical conductivity of the bilayer TG structure. The results show linearly increasing electronic thermal conductivity with temperature while the lattice part exhibits the opposite behavior, and the Seebeck coefficient transitions from negative to positive values with increasing temperature. The study also verifies the Wiedemann-Franz law and confirms the Debye model behavior of specific heat at low temperature for the bilayer TG structure.

Summary: This study investigated the structures of two Se chains confined inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), revealing that the chains were linear and parallel. The covalent bond between Se and SWCNT was found to be stronger than that between Se and trigonal Se (t-Se). The interaction between chains was attributed to the overlap of electronic orbitals, and the disappearance of this overlap in the encapsulated Se chains enhanced the covalent bonds.

Observation of resonant tunneling of proton from octahedral to tetrahedral sites in Pd

Takahiro Ozawa, Hiroshi Nakanishi, Koichi Kato, Ryota Shimizu, Taro Hitosugi, Katsuyuki Fukutani

Summary: In this study, we elucidate the hopping mechanism of hydrogen at intermediate temperature using a combination of experimental data and theoretical calculations. We find that the transition from thermal hopping to quantum tunneling is attributed to resonant tunneling, which is achieved through the resonant tunneling of discrete vibrational states between the edge octahedral site and the tetrahedral site. We also demonstrate that the tunneling rate can be tuned by energy level matching.

Summary: Fe-based nanowires containing nonmagnetic elements, fabricated using a pulse electrodeposition method in porous anodic alumina membranes, exhibit magnetic tunability. The magnetic properties of Fe100-xSnx NW arrays, with a diameter of about 35 nm, such as coercivity and squareness values, decrease with increasing Sn content. The structure of the FeSn NWs, dominated by Fe or FeSn alloy crystal phase, can be either single domain or pseudo-single domain states depending on the Sn content.
