A new mechanism is proposed to explain the origin of negative differential resistance (NDR) in a strongly coupled single molecule-metal junction. A first-principles quantum transport calculation in a Fe-terpyridine linker molecule…
Germanium nanowires with p- and n-dopants were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition and used to construct complementary field effect transistors . Electrical transport and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data are correlated to glean…
Nanodiamonds (NDs) gained increasing attention in multiple research areas due to the possibility of tuning their physical and chemical features by functionalizing their surface. This has a crucial impact on their electrical properties,…
The interaction mechanisms of water with nanoscale geometries remain poorly understood. This study focuses on behaviour of water clusters under varying external electric fields with a particular focus on molecular ferroelectric devices. We…
A decrease in current with increasing voltage, often referred to as negative differential resistance (NDR), has been observed in many electronic devices and can usually be understood within a one-electron picture. However, NDR has recently…
Multipeak negative differential resistance (NDR) molecular devices are designed from first principles. The effect of NDR is associated with the non-linear Stark shifts and the electron localization within the conductive region and contacts.…
The negative differential resistance (NDR) response of Nb/NbOx/Pt cross-point devices is shown to have a polarity dependence due to the effect of the metal/oxide Schottky barriers on the contact resistance. Three distinct responses are…
The novel isotope and magnetic effects on two level system echoes in glasses observed by Nagel et al.(Phys.Rev.Lett. 92, 245511 (2004)) provide unique experimental insight into the nature of tunneling systems in amorphous solids. We show…
Nanoconfined water plays a key role in nanofluidics, electrochemistry, and catalysis, yet its reactivity remains a matter of debate. Prior studies have reported both enhanced and suppressed water self-dissociation relative to the bulk, but…
The water/electrode interface under an applied bias potential is a challenging out-of-equilibrium phenomenon, which is difficult to accurately model at the atomic scale. In this study, we employ a combined approach of Density Functional…
We present the appearance of negative differential resistance (NDR) in spin-dependent electron transport through a few-atom spin-chain. A chain of three antiferromagnetically coupled Fe atoms(Fe trimer) was positioned on a Cu2N/Cu(100)…
Traces of water can profoundly alter the dielectric response of functional oxides, yet such effects have remained largely unrecognized in systems where colossal dielectric behaviour has been widely reported. Here, we investigate the impact…
Using self-consistent calculations based on Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) formalism, the origin of negative differential resistance (NDR) in molecular junctions and quantum wires is investigated. Coupling of the molecule to…
We present the multilevel fabrication and measurement of a Coulomb-blockade device displaying tunable negative differential resistance (NDR). Applications for devices displaying NDR include amplification, logic, and memory circuits. Our…
Startling magnetic effects on the spontaneous polarization echo in some silicate glasses at low and ultra-low temperatures have been reported in the last decade or so. Though some progress in search of an explanation has been made by…
Metal-based electronics is attractive for fast and radiation-hard electronic circuits and remains one of the longstanding goals for researchers. The emergence of 1T-TaS$_2$, a layered material exhibiting strong charge density wave (CDW)…
A negative differential resistance (NDR) in a one-dimensional band insulator attached to electrodes is investigated. We systematically examine the effects of an electrode bandwidth and a potential distribution inside the insulator on…
Cold metals, characterized by their distinctive band structures, hold promise for innovative electronic devices such as tunnel diodes with negative differential resistance (NDR) effect and field-effect transistors (FETs) with sub-60 mV/dec…
Recent probing of H2O-D2O mixtures by various means (neutron deep-inelastic scattering, Raman absorption, electrical H+/D+ conductivity) revealed an unexpected dependence of the relevant physical quantities on the isotopic composition of…
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have emerged as leading candidates for the development of low-power and multifunctional computing applications, thanks to their qualities such as layer-dependent band gap tunability, high carrier…
