The nonlinear mechanical response of carbon nanotubes, referred to as their “buckling"
behavior, is a major topic in the nanotube research community. Buckling means a …

Since carbon (C) atom has a variety of chemical bonds via hybridization between s and p
atomic orbitals, it is well known that there are robust carbon materials. In particular …

We report on the experimental realization of an optical analogue of a quantum geometric
potential for light wave packets constrained on thin dielectric guiding layers fabricated in …

Einstein first applied Riemannian geometry to develop the general theory of relativity almost
one hundred years ago and succeeded in understanding astronomical-scale phenomena …

We analyze the electronic properties of a two-dimensional electron gas rolled up into a
nanotube by both numerical and analytical techniques. The nature and the energy …

The experimental techniques have evolved to a stage where various examples of
nanostructures with non-trivial shapes have been synthesized, turning the dynamics of a …

Quantum mechanics is sensitive to the geometry of the underlying space. Here we present a
framework for quantum scattering of a nonrelativistic particle confined to a two-dimensional …

The dynamics of Dirac particles confined to a curved surface is examined employing the thin-
layer method. We perform a perturbative expansion to first-order and split the Dirac field into …

The low-temperature electrical resistivity of corrugated semiconductor films is theoretically
considered. Nanoscale corrugation enhances the electron-electron scattering contribution to …

We have examined the electric, optical, and thermal properties of C 60 films before and after
electron-beam (EB: an incident energy of 3 keV) irradiation by inducing a variety of cross …
