We explore a model of armchair graphene nanoribbons tuned by functionalizing the edge states. Edge modifications are modeled by changing the electronic energy of the edge states in specific periodic patterns. The model can be considered to mimic a controlled doping process with different elements. The band structure, density of states, conductance, and local density of states are calculated, using the tight binding approach, Green’s function methodology, and the Landauer formula. The results show interesting behaviors, which are considerably different from the properties of the perfect nanoribbons. The hybridization of conducting bands with non-conducting bands, which appear perfectly flat in the perfect ribbon, opens up and modifies gaps in conductance near the Fermi level. One particular pattern of edge functionalization causes a strong, symmetric, and systematic band gap change about the Fermi level, modifying the electronic characteristics in the energy dispersion, density of states, local density of states, and conductance.

AbstractWe study discrete random Schrödinger operators via the supersymmetric formalism. We develop a cluster expansion that converges at both strong and weak disorder. We prove the exponential decay of the disorder-averaged Green’s function and the smoothness of the local density of states either at weak disorder and at energies in proximity of the unperturbed spectrum or at strong disorder and at any energy. As an application, we establish Lifshitz-tail-type estimates for the local density of states and thus localization at weak disorder.

The Continuum

Resonant optical modes arising in all-dielectric metasurfaces have attracted much attention in recent years, especially when so-called bound states in the continuum (BICs) with diverging lifetimes are supported. With the aim of studying theoretically the emergence of BICs, we extend a coupled electric and magnetic dipole analytical formulation to deal with the proper metasurface Green function for the infinite lattice. Thereby, we show how to excite metasurface BICs, being able to address their near-field pattern through point-source excitation and their local density of states. We apply this formulation to fully characterize symmetry-protected BICs arising in all-dielectric metasurfaces made of Si nanospheres, revealing their near-field pattern and local density of states, and, thus, the mechanisms precluding their radiation into the continuum. This formulation provides, in turn, an insightful and fast tool to characterize BICs (and any other leaky/guided mode) near fields in all-dielectric (and also plasmonic) metasurfaces, which might be especially useful for the design of planar nanophotonic devices based on such resonant modes.

The Difference

The Casimir force between inhomogeneous slabs that exhibit a band-like structure is calculated. The slabs are made of basic unit cells each made of two layers of different materials. As the number of unit cells increases the Casimir force between the slabs changes, since the reflectivity develops a band-like structure characterized by frequency regions of high reflectivity. This is also evident in the difference of the local density of states between free and boundary distorted vacuum, that becomes maximum at frequencies corresponding to the band gaps. The calculations are restricted to vacuum modes with wave vectors perpendicular to the slabs.
