Graduate student José Roberto da Silva, defended his Doctoral dissertation on Wednesday (29.06.2022) at 10:00 am, in a virtual auditorium via google meet. The thesis, entitled “Electronic transport in quasiperiodic nanostructures”, employed advances computational techniques such as efficient implementations of Green’s
New publication in Micro and Nanostructures
Our latest publication of 2022 “Localization effects in graphene nanoribbons with quasiperiodic hopping modulation” has just appeared in Micro and Nanostructures (formerly know as Superlattices and Microstructures). Graphene nanoribbons present remarkable electronic transport properties which can be tailored to specific applications. We
