Abstract/Description:
My research has been focused on two main areas. First, electronic transports in chiral carbonnanotubes in the presence of charged adatoms. To study such systems we employed recursiveGreens function technique to evaluate the conductance using the Landauer formula. Comparingwith the experimental data, we determined the effective amplitude and the range of scatteringpotentials. In addition, using a similar approach we explained qualitatively an unusual conductancefeature in a metallic carbon nanotube. The second part of my study was concerned to the dynamicalspin injection and spin currents in low-dimensional materials. We have developed an atomisticmodel to express the injected spin current in terms of the systems Greens function. The newformulation provides a framework to study the spin injection and relaxation of a system with anarbitrary structure.
