Electrical conductance through various nanocontacts between gold electrodes is studied by using the density functional theory, scalar-relativistic pseudopotentials, generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation energy and…
Significant field emission is found theoretically possible from nanorods of semiconductors of wide energy band gaps. If the nanorod has a thin surface layer containing a large number of localized states, a part of nanorod can exhibit an…
Measurements of current-voltage characteristics from ideal carbon nanotube (CNT) field electron emitters of small apex radius have shown that these emitters can exhibit a linear Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plot [e.g., Dean and Chalamala, Appl.…
We investigate a stationary pair production cascade in the outer magnetosphere of a spinning neutron star. The charge depletion due to global flows of charged particles, causes a large electric field along the magnetic field lines.…
In a previous paper we suggested that a macroscopic force field applied across a two-dimensional electron gas channel could induce a microscopic charge density wave as soon as the proper compressibility becomes negative, which happens at…
A molecular wire containing an emitting molecular center is controllably suspended between the plasmonic electrodes of a cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope. Passing current through this circuit generates an ultra narrow-line emission…
Here we study a simple way of controlling the emitted fields of sub-wavelength nanometric sources. The system consists of arrays of nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in optical active media. The key concept is the careful tuning of NP's damping…
The extended quasiparticle picture is adapted to non-Fermi systems by suggesting a Pad\'e approximation which interpolates between the known small scattering-rate expansion and the deviation from the Fermi energy. The first two…
We derive a general expression for the low-temperature current distribution in a two-dimensional electron gas, subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field and in a confining potential that varies slowly on the scale of the magnetic length…
Transport properties of degenerate relativistic electrons along quantizing magnetic fields in neutron star crusts are considered. A kinetic equation is derived for the spin polarization density matrix of electrons. Its solution does not…
Two dimensional electron gases based on SrTiO$_3$ are an intriguing platform for exploring mesoscopic superconductivity combined with spin-orbit coupling, offering electrostatic tunability from insulator to metal to superconductor within a…
By using scattering in near field techniques, a microscope can be easily turned into a device measuring static and dynamic light scattering, very useful for the characterization of nanoparticle dispersions. Up to now, microscopy based…
In this report, we discuss whether the optimal electric field to promote the growth of armchair- type nanotubes (metallic character) evaluated using the previous Huckel-Poisson method can be applied at the tip of a nanotube in a realistic…
The factors that contribute to the accuracy of the cold field emission current within the contemporary frameworks are investigated. It is found that so long as the net current is evaluated using an expression for the local current density…
Tuning the near-field using all-dielectric nano-antennae offers a promising approach for trapping atoms, which could enable strong single-atom/photon coupling. Here we report the simulation results of an optical trapping concept, in which a…
By extrapolating the energies of non-relativistic atoms and their ions with up to 3000 electrons within Kohn-Sham density functional theory, we find that the ionization potential remains finite and increases across a row, even as…
We derive the exact expansion, to $O(r_s)$, of the energy of the high-density spin-polarized two-dimensional uniform electron gas, where $r_s$ is the Seitz radius.
Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) nanosheets, obtained via chemical vapor deposition onto SiO$_2$/Si substrates, are exploited to fabricate field-effect transistors with n-type conduction, high on/off ratio, steep subthreshold slope…
Quantized nano-objects offer a myriad of exciting possibilities for manipulating electrons and light that impact photonics, nanoelectronics, and quantum information. In this context, ultrashort laser pulses combined with nanotips and field…
We theoretically investigate the dependence of the enhancement of optical near-fields at nanometric tips on the shape, size, and material of the tip. We confirm a strong dependence of the field enhancement factor on the radius of curvature.…
