Interaction of nucleobases with silicon nanowires: A first-principles study
The interaction between the nucleic acid bases – adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), thymine (T) and uracil (U) – and a hydrogen-passivated silicon nanowire (SiNW) is investigated within the framework of density functional theory. The calculated binding energy of the nucleic acid bases with the SiNW shows the order: G > A C T U. This suggests that the interaction strength of a hydrogen pass...
متن کاملFirst principles computational study of wurtzite CdTe nanowires
An ab initio computational study was performed for wurtzite [0001] CdTe nanowires enclosed by ð10 10Þ surface facets over a range of diameters and crosssectional topologies. Calculations show that hexagonal nanowires are highly stable, possessing a large electronic band gap and a band structure without dispersionless states in the gap. Passivation of the dangling bonds for the largest hexagonal...
متن کاملAuger Recombination in GaAs from First Principles
Auger recombination is a significant loss mechanism in many optoelectronic devices. We use first-principles methods based on density functional theory to study the relative importance of direct and indirect phonon-assisted Auger recombination in GaAs and related alloys. Energy and momentum of the recombining electron−hole pair can be transferred to an Auger electron (eeh process) or an Auger ho...
متن کاملFIRST PRINCIPLES COMPUTATIONS Dielectric permittivity of ultrathin PbTiO3 nanowires from first principles
We propose an efficient method to compute the dielectric permittivity of nanostructures by combining first principles density functional perturbation theory with effective medium theory. Specifically, ultrathin axially symmetric ferroelectric PbTiO3 nanowires are considered. As established previously by Pilania and Ramprasad (Phys Rev B 82:155442, 2010), (4 9 4) PbO-terminated nanowire and (4 9...
متن کاملMechanics of Silicon Nanowires: Size-Dependent Elasticity From First Principles
We review our recent work on the mechanics of silicon nanowires based on first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We focus especially on the size dependence of the Young’s modulus, but also comment on the size dependence of the residual stress and the equilibrium length of the hydrogen-passivated Si nanowires. We compare these results to prior results from classical molecu...
