(2011) Phonon Scattering in Intrinsic Graphene using Tight-binding Bloch Waves

The overall interest in graphene as a material for devices has led to tremendous advances in the knowledge of transport in graphene. However, there are still questions about the intrinsic limit to electron mobility. Recent experiments have demonstrated mobility greater than 107 cm2/Vs at 50 K temperature, exceeding previous theoretical predictions of the intrinsic mobility …

(2011) Mechanisms of Organic/Inorganic Interface Formation

Mechanisms of Organic/Inorganic Interface Formation (2011) Advanced organic/inorganic materials for applications including solar energy conversion and optoelectronics require the creation of interfaces with carefully controlled structural and electronic properties. Functional monolayers at these interfaces can have associated electronic states or dipole moments and thus provide a new degree of control over device properties. IRG 2 …

(2011) Bridge-Dependent Interfacial Electron Transfer

Top: The kinetics of charge transfer from a rhenium-bypyridine complex to a TiO2 , measured for several molecular linkers (purple, black, red, and blue traces). Insets show the structure of the molecular systems, and infrared spectroscopy demonstrating the attachment of Re1C to TiO2. Bottom: Calculated transition densities associated with the 1MLCT excited state (left, shown …
