Parity and valley degeneracy in multilayer graphene
We study spatial symmetry in general ABA-stacked multilayer graphene to illustrate how electronic spectra at the two valleys are related in a magnetic field. We show that the lattice of multilayers with an even number of layers as well as that of monolayer graphene satisfy spatial inversion symmetry, which rigorously guarantees valley degeneracy in the absence of time-reversal symmetry. A multi...
متن کاملBand-Gap Tuning Of Electron Beam Evaporated Cds Thin Films
The effect of evaporation rate on structural, morphological and optical properties of electron beam evaporated CdS thin films have been investigated. CdS thin film deposited by electron beam evaporation method in 12nm/min and 60nm/min evaporation rates on glass substrates. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy were used to character...
متن کاملTuning carbon nanotube band gaps with strain.
We show that the band structure of a carbon nanotube (NT) can be dramatically altered by mechanical strain. We employ an atomic force microscope tip to simultaneously vary the NT strain and to electrostatically gate the tube. We show that strain can open a band gap in a metallic NT and modify the band gap in a semiconducting NT. Theoretical work predicts that band gap changes can range between ...

متن کاملValley degeneracy and spin lifetime enhancement in stressed silicon films
Recent advances in development of multi-core processor architectures and three-dimensional (3D) integration supported by continuous semiconductor device scaling continued to boost the performance of modern computers. However, in order to proceed with the performance enhancement beyond 3D integration completely new innovative approaches are mandatory. The electron spin attracts a significant att...
