Microscopic mechanism of electron transfer through the hydrogen bonds between carboxylated alkanethiol molecules connected to gold electrodes
(2014)The atomic structure and the electron transfer properties of hydrogen bonds formed between two carboxylated alkanethiol molecules connected to gold electrodes are investigated by employing the non-equilibrium Green's ... -
Microscopic origin of the 1.3 G0 conductance observed in oxygen-doped silver quantum point contacts
(2014)Besides the peak at one conductance quantum, G0, two additional features at ∼0.4 G0 and ∼1.3 G0 have been observed in the conductance histograms of silver quantum point contacts at room temperature in ambient conditions. ... -
A Microscopy Study of PVD Grown Cu: Sample preparation, optimisation and in-situ analysis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2019)A variety of sample preparation techniques have been developed and optimised for PVD grown Cu films and Cu NWs. These techniques include traditional cross-sectional preparation, plan-view preparation, site-specific ... -
New Methods of Studying Young Stellar Objects Using Radio Interferometry
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)While most studies of star formation are based on infrared or optical observations, radio astronomy has also proven very useful in the study of this process. This is seen for example in the detection of free-free emission ... -
Non-equilibrium transport properties of quasiperiodic models
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2023)The advances in the manipulation of ultracold atoms trapped by optical lattices has established this set-up as a promising analogue simulator of quantum Hamiltonians. The extended coherence times allow for the monitoring ... -
Optimisation of Electrolytically-gated Thin Film Transistors made from Printed Nanosheet Networks
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)Networks of two-dimensional nanosheets show great potential in a wide variety of different applications, with particular focus on the area of printed electronics. One of the main issues facing such nanosheet network ... -
Orbital Mott transition in two dimensional pyrochlore lattice
(2020)We study orbital Mott transition in two dimensional pyrochlore lattice, using a two orbital Hubbard model with only inter-orbital electronic hopping. We use a real space Monte Carlo based approach to study the model at ... -
Oxygen radical functionalization of boron nitride nanosheets
(2012)The covalent chemical functionalization of exfoliated hexagonal boron-nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) is achieved by the solution phase oxygen radical functionalization of boron atoms in the h-BN lattice. This involves a two-step ... -
Percolation scaling in composites of exfoliated MoS 2 filled with nanotubes and graphene
(2012)Applications of films of exfoliated layered compounds in many areas will be limited by their relatively low electrical conductivity. To address this, we have prepared and characterised composites of a nano-conductor ... -
Relating the optical absorption coefficient of nanosheet dispersions to the intrinsic monolayer absorption
(2016)The concentration of nanosheet suspensions is an important technological parameter which is commonly measured by optical spectroscopy, using the absorption coefficient to transform absorbance into concentration. However, ... -
Thermodynamics of interacting many-body quantum systems
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2021)Technological and scientific advances have given rise to an era in which coherent quantum-mechanical phenomena can be probed and experimentally-realised over unprecedented timescales in condensed matter physics. In turn, ... -
Transition voltages of vacuum-spaced and molecular junctions with Ag and Pt electrodes
(2014)The transition voltage of vacuum-spaced and molecular junctions constructed with Ag and Pt electrodes is investigated by non-equilibrium Green's function formalism combined with density functional theory. Our calculations ... -
Transport Properties of Disordered Nanowire Networks: from Conducting Thin Films to Neuromorphic Applications
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2018)Nanowire networks have had much attention from the scientific community in the past two decades due to their potential in numerous technological applications. Central to these are the superior electrical properties manifested ... -
The winds of low-mass stars and solar-wind evolution
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2020)Stellar winds affect the evolution of stars (as well as impacting the planets orbiting these stars) through the removal of angular momentum and mass over time. This process changes the rotation rate of the host star, which ...
