Recent experimental results show that, by introducing cyclic hydrocarbon molecules inside carbon nanotubes, they can be transformed into nanoribbons or inner tubes, depending on the experimental conditions. In this paper, we present our results obtained as a continuation of our previous molecular dynamics simulation work. In our previous work, the initial geometry consisted of independent carbon atoms. Now, as an initial condition, we have placed different molecules inside a carbon nanotube (18,0): C5H5 (fragment of ferrocene), C5, C5+H2; C6H6 (benzene), C6, C6+H2; C20H12 (perylene); and C24H12 (coronene). The simulations were performed using the REBO-II potential of the LAMMPS software package, supplemented with a Lennard-Jones potential between the nanotube wall atoms and the inner atoms. The simulation proved difficult due to the slow dynamics of the H abstraction. However, with a slight modification of the parameterization, it was possible to model the formation of carbon nanoribbons inside the carbon nanotube.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2079-4991}, orcid-numbers = {Koltai, János/0000-0003-2576-9740; Kürti, Jenő/0000-0001-9752-2769} } @article{MTMT:34715042, title = {Surface magnon spectra of nodal loop semimetals}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34715042}, author = {Al-Assaf, Assem Mustafa Abd-Alrhman and Koltai, János and Oroszlány, László}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.109.035161}, journal-iso = {PHYS REV B}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW B}, volume = {109}, unique-id = {34715042}, issn = {2469-9950}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2469-9969}, orcid-numbers = {Koltai, János/0000-0003-2576-9740; Oroszlány, László/0000-0001-5682-6424} } @misc{MTMT:34719870, title = {Signature of pressure-induced topological phase transition in ZrTe5}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34719870}, author = {Kovács-Krausz, Zoltán and Nagy, Dániel and Márffy, Albin Máté and Karpiak, Bogdan and Tajkov, Zoltán and Oroszlány, László and Koltai, János and Nemes Incze, Péter and Dash, Saroj P and Makk, Péter and Csonka, Szabolcs and Tóvári, Endre}, unique-id = {34719870}, abstract = {The layered van der Waals material ZrTe5 is known as a candidate topological insulator (TI), however its topological phase and the relation with other properties such as an apparent Dirac semimetallic state is still a subject of debate.

The temperature dependence of the MCT results between 10 and 300 K is assessed in the context of thermal activation, and we obtain the positions of conduction and valence band edges in the vicinity of the chemical potential. We find evidence of the closing and subsequent re-opening of the band gap with increasing pressure, which is consistent with a phase transition from weak to strong TI.

Experimental observations have shown that chains, inner tubes, or nanoribbons can grow by the thermal decomposition of organic/organometallic molecules encapsulated in carbon nanotubes. The result of the process depends on the temperature, the diameter of the nanotube, and the type and amount of material introduced inside the tube. Nanoribbons are particularly promising materials for nanoelectronics. Motivated by recent experimental results observing the formation of carbon nanoribbons inside carbon nanotubes, molecular dynamics calculations were performed with the open source LAMMPS code to investigate the reactions between carbon atoms confined within a single-walled carbon nanotube. Our results show that the interatomic potentials behave differently in quasi-one-dimensional simulations of nanotube-confined space than in three-dimensional simulations. In particular, the Tersoff potential performs better than the widely used Reactive Force Field potential in describing the formation of carbon nanoribbons inside nanotubes. We also found a temperature window where the nanoribbons were formed with the fewest defects, i.e., with the largest flatness and the most hexagons, which is in agreement with the experimental temperature range.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1089-7690}, orcid-numbers = {Koltai, János/0000-0003-2576-9740; Kürti, Jenő/0000-0001-9752-2769} } @article{MTMT:33673970, title = {Revealing the band structure of ZrTe5 using multicarrier transport}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33673970}, author = {Kovács-Krausz, Zoltán and Tóvári, Endre and Nagy, Dániel and Márffy, Albin Máté and Karpiak, Bogdan and Tajkov, Zoltán and Oroszlány, László and Koltai, János and Nemes Incze, Péter and Dash, Saroj P. and Makk, Péter and Csonka, Szabolcs}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.107.075152}, journal-iso = {PHYS REV B}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW B}, volume = {107}, unique-id = {33673970}, issn = {2469-9950}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2469-9969}, orcid-numbers = {Kovács-Krausz, Zoltán/0000-0001-5821-6195; Tóvári, Endre/0000-0002-0000-3805; Karpiak, Bogdan/0000-0001-7462-8405; Oroszlány, László/0000-0001-5682-6424; Koltai, János/0000-0003-2576-9740; Nemes Incze, Péter/0000-0002-1222-3020; Dash, Saroj P./0000-0001-7931-4843} } @article{MTMT:33090541, title = {Observation of competing, correlated ground states in the flat band of rhombohedral graphite}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33090541}, author = {Hagymási, Imre and Mohd, Isa M.S. and Tajkov, Zoltán and Márity, K. and Oroszlány, László and Koltai, János and Al-Assaf, Assem Mustafa Abd-Alrhman and Kun, Péter and Kandrai, Konrád and Pálinkás, András and Vancsó, Péter and Tapasztó, Levente and Nemes Incze, Péter}, doi = {10.1126/sciadv.abo6879}, journal-iso = {SCI ADV}, journal = {SCIENCE ADVANCES}, volume = {8}, unique-id = {33090541}, issn = {2375-2548}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2375-2548}, orcid-numbers = {Oroszlány, László/0000-0001-5682-6424; Koltai, János/0000-0003-2576-9740; Vancsó, Péter/0000-0003-4333-9787; Tapasztó, Levente/0000-0002-9377-8465; Nemes Incze, Péter/0000-0002-1222-3020} } @article{MTMT:33068873, title = {Revealing the topological phase diagram of ZrTe5 using the complex strain fields of microbubbles}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33068873}, author = {Tajkov, Zoltán and Nagy, Dániel and Kandrai, Konrád and Koltai, János and Oroszlány, László and Süle, Péter and Horváth, Zsolt Endre and Vancsó, Péter and Tapasztó, Levente and Nemes Incze, Péter}, doi = {10.1038/s41524-022-00854-z}, journal-iso = {NPJ COMPUT MATER}, journal = {NPJ COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS}, volume = {8}, unique-id = {33068873}, issn = {2057-3960}, abstract = {Topological materials host robust properties, unaffected by microscopic perturbations, owing to the global topological properties of the bulk electron system.
