Specific contact resistivity measurements have conventionally been heavy in both fabrication and simulation/calculation in order to account for complicated geometries and other effects such as parasitic resistance. We propose a simpler…
A detailed understanding of the material properties that affect the splitting between the two low-lying valley states in Si/SiGe heterostructures will be increasingly important as the number of spin qubits is increased. Scanning gate…
By placing the biased tip of an atomic force microscope at a specific position above a semiconductor surface we can locally shape the potential landscape. Inducing a local repulsive potential in a two dimensional electron gas near a quantum…
We propose a quantum gate architecture that allows for the systematic control of the effective exchange interactions between magnetic impurities embedded in nano-scale graphene flakes connected by a gated bridge. The entanglement between…
Strongly interacting electrons in clean two-dimensional devices are theorized to exhibit many distinct transport regimes, such as ballistic, hydrodynamic, or diffusive. Realistic samples often lie in crossover regimes between these…
Scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) is a promising technique for overcoming Abbe diffraction limit and substantially enhancing the spatial resolution in spectroscopic imaging. The s-SNOM works by exposing an atomic…
We investigate the interactions between two identical magnetic impurities substituted into a graphene superlattice. Using a first-principles approach, we calculate the electronic and magnetic properties for transition-metal substituted…
Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a powerful tool for studying the structural and electronic properties of materials at the atomic scale. The combination of low temperature and high magnetic field for STM and related spectroscopy…
Terahertz (THz) field pulses can now be applied in Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (THz-STM) junction experiments to study time resolved dynamics. The relatively slow pulse compared to the typical electronic time-scale calls for…
In this paper we present a method to numerically study transverse Hall conductances using a two-terminal setup. Using nonlinear transport concepts we find that the Hall voltage dependence on the model parameters can be investigated from the…
The Kondo effect in the system consisting of a magnetic adatom on the graphene is studied. By using the non-equilibrium Green function method with the slave-boson mean field approximation, the local density of state (LDOS) and the…
Miniaturization of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) is of major importance for the development of sensitive scanning nanoscale magnetometry tools. The high sensitivity of nanoSQUIDs is restricted, however, to only…
Realization of graphene moir\'e superstructures on the surface of 4d and 5d transition metals offers templates with periodically modulated electron density, which is responsible for a number of fascinating effects, including the formation…
Quantum Hall edge states are the paradigmatic example of the bulk-boundary correspondence. They are prone to intricate reconstructions calling for their detailed investigation at high spatial resolution. Here, we map quantum Hall edge…
Like a quantum computer designed for a particular class of problems, a quantum simulator enables quantitative modeling of quantum systems that is computationally intractable with a classical computer. Quantum simulations of quantum…
Radiative transfer calculations in strong (few $\times 10^{12}$ G) magnetic fields, observed in X-ray pulsars, require accurate resonant differential scattering cross sections. Such cross sections exist, but they are quite cumbersome. Here…
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) can be used to detect inelastic spin transitions in magnetic nano-structures comprising only a handful of atoms. Here we demonstrate that STM can uniquely identify the electrostatic spin crossover effect,…
This review article provides a bird's-eye view of what first-principles based methods can contribute to next-generation device design and simulation. After a brief overview of methods and capabilities in the area, we focus on published work…
We present a theoretical study of momentum-resolved tunneling between parallel two-dimensional conductors whose charge carriers have a (pseudo-)spin-1/2 degree of freedom that is strongly coupled to their linear orbital momentum. Specific…
Based on a tight-binding model and a recursive Green's function technique, spin-depentent ballistic transport through tinny graphene sheets (flakes) is studied. The main interest is focussed on: electrical conductivity, giant…
