DFT studies of structural, electronic and optical properties of (5,5) armchair magnesium oxide nanotubes (MgONTs)

Yahaya Saadu Itas et al.

Summary: Many experimental studies have been conducted on nano systems of magnesium oxide (MgO) due to high demand for smart materials in optoelectronic systems, however, the electronic and optical response of the nanotube form of MgO across chirality geometry and anisotropic directions has not been adequately investigated. Furthermore, previous studies did not take into account the chiral effects of MgO. This research fills this gap by investigating the structural electronic and optical properties of armchair single walled magnesium oxide nanotubes (SWMgONT) with varying inner diameters. The results show that (5, 5) SWMgONT is a promising candidate for solar cells, biomedical imaging, gas sensing, and optical communication.

Yahaya Saadu Itas et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of exchange-correlation on the electronic properties of SWCBNNT materials. By using different parametrizations, the study identifies the reasons for the disappearance of interface states and the asymmetric distribution of the band gap, and successfully creates a band gap in SWCBNNT. Additionally, the study finds that the P-y orbital has the largest impact on the electrical properties of SWCBNNT.

Computational Studies of the Excitonic and Optical Properties of Armchair SWCNT and SWBNNT for Optoelectronics Applications

Yahaya Saadu Itas et al.

Summary: This study calculated the optical refractive constants of (5, 5) SWBNNT and (5, 5) SWCNT systems in both parallel and perpendicular directions. It also extended the optical behaviors of the nanotubes to perpendicular directions and investigated the effects of diameter on optical properties. The results showed that (5, 5) SWBNNT had the best optical reflection, while (5, 5) SWCNT had the best optical refraction. The study observed new features in both nanotubes in perpendicular directions due to new optical band gaps.

Gaussian process analysis of electron energy loss spectroscopy data: multivariate reconstruction and kernel control

Sergei Kalinin et al.

Summary: Advances in hyperspectral imaging, including electron energy loss spectroscopy, present challenges in exploratory and physics-based analysis of multidimensional data sets. While multivariate linear unmixing methods explore similarities in the energy dimension, Gaussian process methods explicitly incorporate spatial correlations but are computationally intensive. Researchers implemented a Gaussian process method that operates on the full spatial domain and reduced representations in the energy domain, sharing information between components via a common spatial kernel structure and suggesting an approach for estimating kernel constraints from experimental data to improve reconstruction quality.

Comparison of hexagonal boron nitride and MgO tunnel barriers in Fe,Co magnetic tunnel junctions

H. Lu et al.

Summary: Magnetic tunnel junctions with MgO/Fe interfaces and out-of-plane spin direction are the basis of present-day STT-MRAM devices, offering long endurance and reliability. As MTJ dimensions scale in the future, changes in materials choice, such as replacing MgO with 2D materials like h-BN, may impact device performance. The comparison of band structures and bonding sites of different tunnel barriers can affect their spin polarization and transmission magneto-resistance (TMR), with potential implications on overall TMR and scaling progress.
