“…[21–26]). Consequently, a plethora of phenomena is expected in such structures ranging from exotic transport properties like topological quantized charge pumping [27, 28], superconductivity [29], and spin filtering [30–32], to molecular and nanomechanical stretchable electronics [33, 34] due to piezoelectric effects [35], sensing applications [36, 37], energy- [38] and hydrogen-storage [39], and field-effect transistors [40, 41].…”

We theoretically investigate the problem of an electron confined to a nanohelix between two parallel gates modelled as charged wires. The double-gated nanohelix system is a binary superlattice with properties highly sensitive to the gate voltages. In particular, the band structure exhibits energy band crossings for certain combinations of gate voltages, which could lead to quasi-relativistic Dirac-like phenomena. Our analysis for optical transitions induced by linearly and circularly polarized light suggests that a double-gated nanohelix can be used for versatile optoelectronic applications.

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10] Nowadays, they are making inroads into nanotechnology as well. 5,10,11 It is noteworthy, among them, that carbon nanocoils (CNCs) are a very intriguing metastructure due to their unique physical and outstanding mechanical properties. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] It was suggested via first-principle calculations, for example, that relying on the distribution of the pentagons and heptagons on the hexagon-dominated spiral surfaces, CNCs could demonstrate metallic, semiconducting and semimetallic characteristics.…”

Entwining-induced robust natural biosystems show superior mechanical performances over their counterparts. However, the role played by topological entwinement in the mechanical properties of artificial nanohelixes remains unknown. Here, the tensile characteristics of nano-entwined carbon nanocoil (ECNC) metamaterials are explored by atomistic simulations. The simulation results show that ECNCs exhibit heterogeneous pre-stress distribution along the spiral surfaces. The predicted stretching stress-strain responses correlate with the topological nano-entwining and dimensionality. Topological analysis reveals that the collective stretching of the bond and bond angle on the inner hexagon edge of the coils characterizes both early and final elastic extensions, whereas the intermediate elasticity is exclusively attributed to the inner-edged hexagon-angular deformation. The ECNCs impart pronounced tensile stiffnesses to the native structures, surprisingly with a maximum of over 13-fold higher stiffness for one triple-helix, beyond the scalability of mechanical springs in parallel, originating from the nano-entwining mechanism and increase in bulkiness. However, the reinforcement in strengths is restricted by the elastic strain limits that are degraded in ECNCs owing to the steric hindrance effect. All metastructures show superelongation-at-break due to a successive break-vs.-arrest process. Upon plastic deformation, the localized reduction in the radii of ECNCs leads to the formation of carbyne-based networks.
