  2. Ripples and Warping of Graphene: A Theoretical Study

    08 Jun 2010 | | Contributor(s):: Umesh V. Waghmare

    We use first-principles density functional theory based analysis to understand formation of ripples in graphene and related 2-D materials. For an infinite graphene, we show that ripples are linked with a low energy branch of phonons that exhibits quadratic dispersion at long wave-lengths. Many...

    19 May 2008 | | Contributor(s):: A. Douglas Stone

    While the laser is one of the most important inventions of the past century and one of the most interesting and controllable non-linear systems in physics, there is surprisingly little predictive theory of lasing properties. Predicting lasing thresholds and output power far above threshold in the...
