The electron transport through the parabolic quantum wire placed in longitudinal magnetic field in the presence of the system of short-range impurities inside the wire is investigated. Using approach based on the zero-range potential theory…
Nanoscale resonators that oscillate at high frequencies are useful in many measurement applications. We studied a high-quality mechanical resonator made from a suspended carbon nanotube driven into motion by applying a periodic radio…
We discuss magnetotransport measurements on individual single-wall carbon nanotubes with low contact resistance, performed as a function of temperature and gate voltage. We find that the application of a magnetic field perpendicular to the…
Transport measurements allow sensitive detection of nanomechanical motion of suspended carbon nanotubes. It has been predicted that when the electro-mechanical coupling is sufficiently large a bistability with a current blockade appears.…
Electronic states in nanographite ribbons with zigzag edges are studied using the extended Hubbard model with nearest neighbor Coulomb interactions. The nearest Coulomb interactions stabilize electronic states with the opposite electric…
The electron transport in a four-terminal nanodevice consisting of two crossed nanotubes is investigated in the framework of the Landauer-Buttiker formalism. The evident formula for the ballistic conductance of the device is found using a…
Transition metal impurities will yield zero bias anomalies in the conductance of well contacted metallic carbon nanotubes, but Kondo temperatures and geometry dependences have not been anticipated so far. Applying the density functional…
We have performed temperature dependent tunneling experiments through a single impurity in an asymmetric vertical double barrier tunneling structure. In particular in the charging direction we observe at zero magnetic field a clear shift in…
We investigated the adsorption of a single atom, hydrogen and aluminum, on single wall carbon nanotubes from first-principles. The adsorption is exothermic, and the associated binding energy varies inversely as the radius of the zigzag…
We report conductance measurements on multiwall carbon nanotubes in a perpendicular magnetic field. A gate electrode with large capacitance is used to considerably vary the nanotube Fermi level. This enables us to search for signatures of…
Suspended carbon nanotubes are known to support self-driven oscillations due to electromechanical feedback under certain conditions, including low temperatures and high mechanical quality factors. Prior reports identified signatures of such…
In most superconductors, optical excitations require impurity scattering or the presence of multiple bands. This is because in clean single-band superconductors, the combination of particle-hole and inversion symmetries prevents…
We present a simple model of electrical transport through a metal-molecule-metal nanojunction that includes charging effects as well as aspects of the electronic structure of the molecule. The interplay of a large charging energy and an…
We theoretically investigate the electron transport properties for a semiconductor quantum wire containing a single finite-size attractive impurity under an external terahertz electromagnetic field illumination in the ballistic limit.…
Hysteretic switching in the magnetoresistance of short-channel, ferromagnetically contacted individual single wall carbon nanotubes is observed, providing strong evidence for nanotube spin transport. By varying the voltage on a capacitively…
Rashba spin-orbit coupling appears in 2D systems lacking inversion symmetry, and causes the spin-splitting of otherwise degenerate energy bands into an upper and lower helicity band. In this paper, we explore how impurity scattering affects…
The exceptional charge transport properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) enable numerous ultrafast optoelectronic applications. Modifying SWCNTs by introducing defects significantly impacts the performance of nanotube-based…
The rates of electron scattering via phonons in the armchair single-wall carbon nanotubes were calculated by using the improved scattering theory within the tight-binding approximation. Therefore, the problem connected with the discrepancy…
We report experimental observation of impedance oscillations in single-walled carbon nanotubes measured from 100 MHz to 65 GHz on coplanar wave guides and a power law dependence of the differential conductance with bias voltage. From the…
Geometry incommensurability between weakly coupled shells in multi-walled carbon nanotubes is shown to be the origin of unconventional electronic conduction mechanism, power-law scaling of the conductance, and remarkable magnetotransport…
