Based on density-functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's function calculations, we demonstrate that endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are reactive to open-shell gases, and therefore have the potential application as selective open-shell gas sensors.

Electronic and transport properties of novel ferrocene based carbon nanotube (CNT) and boron-nitride nanotube (BNNT) nanopeapods, including Fe(Cp)2@CNT, Fe2(Cp)3@CNT, Fe(Cp)2@BNNT, and Fe2(Cp)3@BNNT (where Cp refers as cyclopentadiene), are investigated using the density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's function methods.

A series of n-acene–graphene (n = 3, 4, 5, 6) devices, in which n-acene molecules are sandwiched between two zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) electrodes, are modeled through the spin polarized density functional theory combined with the non-equilibrium Green's function technique.

Electronic structures and transport properties of prototype MoS2 nanotube (15, 0) nanocables, including undoped PSi@MoS2 and B- and P-doped PSi@MoS2 (where PSi refers to polysilane), are investigated using the density functional theory (DFT) and the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) methods.
