We study the significance and characteristics of interfacial dynamical charge transfer at metal-organic interfaces for the organic semiconductor model system 1,4,5,8-naphthalene-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTCDA) on Ag(111) quantitatively.…
In bulk systems, molecules are routinely identified by their vibrational spectrum using Raman or infrared spectroscopy. In recent years, vibrational excitation lines have been observed in low-temperature conductance measurements on single…
Molecular spintronics is made possible by the coupling between electronic configuration and magnetic po- larization of the molecules. For control and application of the individual molecular states it is necessary to both read and write…
The vibronic mixing by an odd-parity vibrational mode of two opposite-parity nearly-degenerate electronic states at a molecular site may drive the small polaron off-center. An associated electric dipole may occur due to broken inversion…
We study the switching behavior of two spin-crossover molecules residing in a nanojunction device consisting of two closely spaced gold electrodes. The spin states are monitored through a real-time measurement of the resistance of the…
We employ the functional renormalization group to study the effects of phonon-assisted tunneling on the nonequilibrium steady-state transport through a single level molecular quantum dot coupled to electronic leads. Within the framework of…
We theoretically investigate inelastic transport through anisotropic magnetic molecules weakly coupled to one ferromagnetic and one nonmagnetic lead. We find that the current is suppressed over wide voltage ranges due to spin blockade. In…
Variability in memristive devices based on h-BN dielectrics is studied in depth. Different numerical techniques to extract the reset voltage are described and the corresponding cycle-to-cycle variability is characterized by means of the…
Many molecular junctions display stochastic telegraphic switching between two distinct current values, which is therefore an important source of fluctuations in nanoscale quantum transport. We investigate electronic fluctuations arising via…
We investigate the stochastic dynamics of nanoscale perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions (pMTJs) and the correlations that arise when they are electrically coupled. Individual junctions exhibit thermally activated spin-transfer torque…
Charge transport through single molecules can be influenced by the charge and spin states of redox-active metal centres placed in the transport pathway. These molecular intrinsic properties are usually addressed by varying the molecules…
Formation of a magnetic hysteresis loop with respect to a bias voltage is investigated theoretically in a spin-valve device based on a single magnetic molecule. We consider a device consisting of two ferromagnetic electrodes bridged by a…
Interaction of an electron system with a strong electromagnetic wave leads to rearrangement both the electron and vibrational energy spectra of a dissipative system. For instance, the optically coupled electron levels become split in the…
Many neurons display bistability - coexistence of two firing modes such as bursting and tonic spiking or tonic spiking and silence. Bistability has been proposed to endow neurons with richer forms of information processing in general and to…
Energy transfer during molecular collisions on metal surfaces plays a pivotal role in a host of critical interfacial processes. Despite significant efforts, our understanding of relevant energy transfer mechanisms, even in an…
An increasing interest in molecular structures whose long term dynamics resemble those of bistable mechanical systems promotes the search of possible candidates that may operate as two-state switching units. Of particular interest are the…
We investigate gold-4,4'-bipyridine-gold single-molecule junctions with the mechanically controllable break junction technique at cryogenic temperature ($T=4.2\,\text{K}$). We observe bistable probabilistic conductance switching between the…
We have completed a numerical investigation of the Anderson-Hubbard model for three-dimensional simple cubic lattices using a real-space self-consistent Hartree-Fock decoupling approximation for the Hubbard interaction. In this formulation…
The stochastic trajectories of molecules in living cells, as well as the dynamics in many other complex systems, often exhibit memory in their path over long periods of time. In addition, these systems can show dynamic heterogeneities due…
Impressive advances in the field of molecular spintronics allow one to study electron transport through individual magnetic molecules embedded between metallic leads in the purely quantum regime of single electron tunneling. Besides…
