Article Synopsis
  • The electrical conductivity of nanomaterial assemblies is influenced by how electrons move within and between the nano-objects, and phonons play a complex role in this dynamic.
  • Phonons can both reduce conductivity by scattering electrons and enhance it by aiding their movement through the potential-energy landscape.
  • Research shows that in single-wall carbon nanotubes, phonon-assisted electron transport is the main factor contributing to high conductivity at elevated temperatures, highlighting the potential for developing advanced electronic devices.

Lithium batteries that could be charged on exposure to sunlight will bring exciting new energy storage technologies. Here, we report a photorechargeable lithium battery employing nature-derived organic molecules as a photoactive and lithium storage electrode material. By absorbing sunlight of a desired frequency, lithiated tetrakislawsone electrodes generate electron-hole pairs.

A systematic optimization study of quantum cascade lasers with integrated nonlinearity for third-harmonic generation is performed. To model current transport the Pauli master equation is solved using a Monte Carlo approach. A multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is applied to obtain the Pareto front.
