Inelastic electron tunneling provides a low-energy pathway for the excitation of surface plasmons and light emission. We theoretically investigate tunnel junctions based on metals and graphene. We show that graphene is potentially a highly…
The integration of two-dimensional materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides with bulk semiconductors offer interesting opportunities for 2D/3D heterojunction-based novel device structures without any constraints of lattice…
Non-Ohmic tunnel junctions are believed to occur in systems where the exciton and orthogonality catastrophe effects significantly modify tunneling rates. Here we present a simple non-perturbative treatment of the thermodynamic and transport…
Carbon nanotube junctions are predicted to exhibit negative differential resistance, with very high peak-to-valley current ratios even at room temperature. We treat both nanotube p-n junctions and undoped metal-nanotube-metal junctions,…
We report on an experimental study of low temperature tunnelling in hybrid NbTiN/GaMnAs structures. The conductance measurements display a root mean square V dependence, consistent with the opening of a correlation gap in the density of…
Tunneling spectroscopy of InAs nanocrystals deposited on graphite was measured using scanning tunneling microscopy, in a double-barrier tunnel-junction configuration. The effect of the junction symmetry on the tunneling spectra is studied…
We report on the fabrication of highly transparent superconductor/normal metal/two-dimensional electron gas junctions formed by a superconducting NbN electrode, a thin (10nm) Au interlayer, and a two-dimensional electron gas in a InGaAs/InP…
Bottom-up synthesized GNRs and GNR heterostructures have promising electronic properties for high performance field effect transistors (FETs) and ultra-low power devices such as tunnelling FETs. However, the short length and wide band gap…
To test the quality of a tunnel junction, one sometimes fits the bias-dependent differential conductance to a theoretical model, such as Simmons's formula. Recent experimental work by {\AA}kerman and collaborators, however, has demonstrated…

Scientists are always yearning for new and exciting ways to unlock graphene's true potential. However, recent reports suggest this two-dimensional material may harbor some unique properties, making it a viable candidate for use in…
The recent progress in formation of two-dimensional (2D) GaN by a migration-enhanced encapsulated technique opens up new possibilities for group III-V 2D semiconductors with a band gap within the visible energy spectrum. Using…
We have developed a fabrication process for nanoscale tunnel junctions which includes focused-ion-beam etching from different directions. By applying the process to a Nb/(Al-)Al_2O_3/Nb trilayer, we have fabricated a Nb single-electron…
The photocurrent and the small-signal photoconductance of InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well structures were studied at the temperature range from 10 to 300 K. The optical excitation was carried out at the quantum wells intrinsic absorption…
We investigate the conductance of normal-conductor/graphene/normal-conductor (NGN) junctions for arbitrary on-site potentials in the normal and graphitic parts of the system. We find that a ballistic NGN junction can display insulating…
We report on experimental realization of p-n heterojunctions based on p-type GaN, and an n-type correlated oxide, VO2. The band offsets are evaluated by current-voltage and capacitance voltage measurements at various temperatures. A band…
