The basis of low-temperature superconductivity has been set to be the pair formation of electrons, due to their effective attraction. The appearance of an effective attraction potential has also been predicted for electron-electron…
Randomly distributed traps at the MoS$_2$/SiO$_2$ interface result in non-ideal transport behavior, including hysteresis in MoS$_2$/SiO$_2$ field effect transistors (FETs). Thus traps are mostly detrimental to the FET performance but they…
We exploit a plasmon mediated two-step momentum downconversion scheme to convert low-energy tunneling electrons into propagating photons. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating along an extended gold nanowire are excited on one end…
The junction of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) operating in the tunneling regime was irradiated with femtosecond laser pulses. A photo-excited hot electron in the STM tip resonantly tunnels into an excited state of a single molecule…
Supplementing our STM and electron emission studies investigations, concluding in electron pairing in strong laser fields [1], further time-of-flight electron emission studies were carried out, changing the angle of polarization of the…
The advent of milli-kelvin scanning tunneling microscopes (STM) with inbuilt magnetic fields has opened access to the study of magnetic phenomena with atomic resolution at surfaces. In the case of single atoms adsorbed on a surface, the…
The generation of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) on the surface of plasmonic structures in the nanoscale has paved the way for advanced biosensing, surpassing the conventional detection limits. The electric field enhancement…
Leveraging thermal losses as a useful consequence of surface plasmons in metal nanostructures has gained traction in recent years. This thermalization of hot electrons also induces a resistance change to an applied bias current, which we…
Recent Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) experiments offer a unique insight into the inner workings of the superconducting state of high-Tc superconductors. Deliberately placed inside the material impurities perturb the coherent state and…
Surface plasmons (SP) and their mediated effects have been widely used to manipulate micro- and nanoscale objects of dielectric and metallic nature. In this work, we show how SP excitation can be used to induce thermofluidic and…
A spin-dependent quantum transport is investigated in a paramagnetic resonant tunneling diode (RTD) based on a Zn$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Se/ZnBeSe heterostructure. Using the Wigner-Poisson method and assuming the two-current model we have calculated…
We investigate the origin of the hysteresis observed in the transfer characteristics of back-gated field-effect transistors with an exfoliated MoS2 channel. We find that the hysteresis is strongly enhanced by increasing either gate voltage,…
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) is a powerful technique that utilizes quantum tunneling to visualize atomic surfaces with high precision. This study presents detailed topographic maps and evaluates the local density of states (LDOS) for…
A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) can do more than atomic imaging and manipulation. Its tunneling current can also be used for the excitation of light, converting electron energy to photon energy. STM based single-molecule…
In a low-temperature study with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), the irreducible lateral motion of a CO molecule adsorbed on a Si(001) surface showed a hyperlinear dependence on the tunneling current. This dependence implies that the…
This study found that plasmonic hotspots (HSs) between silver nanoparticles (NPs) and silver nanowires (NWs) generated two-photon excited emissions, including hyper-Rayleigh, hyper-Raman, and two-photon fluorescence of dye molecules with…
We develop a theory of electron tunneling accompanied by carrier-carrier scattering in graphene - insulator - graphene heterostructures. Due to the dynamic screening of Coulomb interaction, the scattering-aided tunneling is resonantly…
Plasmonic catalysis holds significant promise for opening new reaction pathways inaccessible thermally, or for improving the efficiency of chemical processes. However, challenges persist in distinguishing photothermal effects from effects…
The thesis explores calculating tunneling current densities between planar conducting electrodes in an STM. It considers factors like bias voltages and the separation between electrodes, using Fermi energy and work functions. Pauli blocking…
