Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports
Graphene, a one-atom-thick material, has been a wonder material since its discovery because of its superlative electronic, mechanical, and optical properties. When a layer of graphene is rotated over another layer, it exhibits many intriguing behaviors, ranging from superconductivity to the anomalous Hall effect to ferromagnetism at a magic angle of 1°, and hence the twisted bilayer graphene has been the subject of intense research in recent years. The surge in interest in this moiré structure can be attributed to the emergence of electronic flat minibands near the magic angle. Here, we studied the electronic and magnetic properties of twisted …

A Computational Study Of Properties Of Core-Shell Nanowire Heterostructures Using Density Functional Theory, Sandip Aryal
Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports
Nanoscale systems, especially the one-dimensional semiconducting nanowires, have been the subject of immense research interests due to their potential applications in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics that demand cheaper, smaller, faster, and energy-efficient components. In particular, the core/shell nanostructures, in which the core materials are shielded by materials with larger bandgap called shell, have been shown to enhance the performance of field effect transistors (FETs), solar cells, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and thermoelectric devices due to their outstanding features like valence band offset between the core and shell, higher stability against oxidation, reduction in the surface trap states, diminished nonradiative recombination processes, …
