This thesis presents a variety of new two dimensional honeycomb-like structures and heterostructures; the main objective being to determine their fundamental electronic, magnetic, mechanical and optical properties for ...

In this thesis we employ state-of-the-art first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the effects of static charging on two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb nanostructures. Free standing, ...

In the recent years, characterization of nanomaterials and using them in sensing applications gain considerable attention. Increased research on nanotechnology brings new materials and techniques that come with many ...
