Anomalous inter-layer atomic transport of deposited impurity atoms on Al(111) has been found by constant temperature molecular dynamics simulations. The low-energy deposition of Pt on Al(111) leads to oscillatory adsorbate-substrate…
Molecular dynamics and parallel-replica dynamics simulations are applied to investigate the atomic structures and diffusion processes at {\text{Al}\{111\}}\parallel{\text{Si}}\{111\} interphase boundaries constructed by simulated vapor…
The transport of atoms is experimentally studied in a transistor-like triple-well potential consisting of a narrow gate well surrounded by source and drain wells. Atoms are initially loaded into the source well with pre-determined…
We investigate the different transport mechanisms that can occur in pn junction devices made using atomic precision advanced manufacturing (APAM) at temperatures ranging from cryogenic to room temperature. We first elucidate the potential…
The quantum motions of hydrogen (H) atoms play an important role in the dynamical properties and functionalities of condensed phase materials as well as biological systems. In this work, based on the transfer matrix method and…
Recent experimental data on the diffusion coefficient of carbon in alpha-iron below liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT) question the classical approach to the observed temperature dependence. As the temperature is lowered below LNT, the…
Probing the anomalous nanoscale intermixing using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in Pt/Ti bilayer we reveal the superdiffusive nature of interfacial atomic transport. It is shown that the Pt atoms undergo anomalous atomic transport…
We show that one can construct a quantum absorption refrigerator that provides refrigeration only in the transient regime, by using three interacting qubits, each of which is also interacting with local heat-bath. The machine either does…
We demonstrate a technique for creating high quality, large area tunnel junction barriers for normal-insulating- superconducting or superconducting-insulating-superconducting tunnel junctions. We use atomic layer depo- sition and an…
A two stream model of boron diffusion in silicon has been developed. The model is intended for simulation of transient enhanced diffusion including redistribution of ion-implanted boron during low temperature annealing. The following…
Non-Hermitian dynamics in open systems can give rise to a variety of fascinating non-equilibrium phenomena, ranging from symmetry-breaking transitions to directional energy flow. Parity-time (PT) symmetry breaking determines the occurrence…
We investigated electroforming-free bipolar resistive switching behavior in Pt/Ti/Al2O3/Al tunnel junctions where the Al2O3 tunnel barrier was naturally formed on Al in air. Various compliance current values for the junction's set switching…
It has been shown that during thermal treatments of silicon layers preamorphized by germanium implantation and then implanted with boron ions the transport of impurity atoms occurs right up to a temperature of 850^{\circ}C due to migration…
The study of time-dependent, many-body transport phenomena is increasingly within reach of ultra-cold atom experiments. We show that the introduction of spatially inhomogeneous interactions, e.g., generated by optically-controlled…
Anomalous heat transfer (AHT), a process by which heat spontaneously flows from a cold system into a hot one, superficially contradicts the Clausius statement of the second law of thermodynamics. Here we provide a full classification of…
Conventional autonomous quantum refrigerators rely on uncorrelated heat exchange between the working system and baths via two-body interactions enabled by single-photon transitions and positive-temperature work baths, inherently limiting…
It has been shown by means of impurity diffusion simulation that ion-implanted boron redistribution at the annealing temperatures 800^{\circ}C and lower is governed by the long-range migration of nonequilibrium impurity interstitials…
The low degradability of common polymers composed of light elements, results in a serious impact on the environment, which has become an urgent problem to be solved. As the reverse process of monomer polymerization, what deviates…
Density-functional theory calculations are performed to investigate hydrogen transport in the proton conductor BaSnO$_3$. Structural optimizations in the stable and saddle point configurations for transfer and reorientation allow…
We propose experimental protocols to reveal thermoelectric and thermal effects in the transport properties of ultracold fermionic atoms, using the two-terminal setup recently realized at ETH. We show in particular that, for two reservoirs…
