We show that the interplay between charging effects and the non-equilibrium spin accumulation has a dramatic effect in the current through an array of nanostructures attached to ferromagnetic electrodes. Large oscillations in the current as…
The spin-momentum locked nature of the robust surface states of three dimensional topological insulators (3D TI) make them promising candidates for spintronics applications. Surface potentials which respect time reversal symmetry can exist…
The effect of the perturbed ion polarization current on the stability of neoclassical tearing modes is calculated using an improved, neoclassical, four-field, drift-MHD model. The calculation involves the self-consistent determination of…
Computational modeling is usually applied to aid experimental exploration of advanced materials to better understand the fundamental plasticity mechanisms during mechanical testing. In this work, we perform Molecular dynamics (MD)…
The interplay between electronic interactions and disorder is neglected in the conventional Boltzmann theory of transport, yet can play an essential role in determining the resistivity of unconventional metals. When quasiparticles are…
We show that shaped topological insulator (TI) nanowires, i.e. such that their cross-section radius varies along the wire length, can be tuned into a number of different transport regimes when immersed in a homogeneous coaxial magnetic…
Tunneling of electrons through rotor-stator anthracene aldehyde molecular interfaces is studied with a combined ab initio and model approach. Molecular electronic structure calculated from first principles is utilized to model different…
The electrical resistance of the two-dimensional electron system (2DES) which forms at the interface of SrTiO3 (STO)-based heterostructures displays anisotropic transport with respect to the direction of current flow at low temperature. We…
This paper presents the calculation of the bounce-averaged drift of trapped particles in a near-axis framework for axisymmetric and quasisymmetric magnetic fields that possess up-down and stellarator symmetry respectively. This analytic…
Using the non-equilibrium Keldysh formalism, we investigate the spatial relation between the electro-chemical potential measured in scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and local current patterns over the entire range from the quantum to the…
With an eye towards next-generation, smart, micro/nanofluidic devices, capable of responding to external stimuli or changes in environment, we demonstrate a means to achieve dynamic control of the spatio-temporal properties of the electric…
Omnigenity is a desirable property of toroidal magnetic fields that ensures confinement of trapped particles. Confining charged particles is a basic requirement for any fusion power plant design, but it can be difficult to satisfy with the…
Electromagnetic metasurfaces offer the capability to realize almost arbitrary power conserving field transformations. These field transformations are governed by the generalized sheet transition conditions, which relate the tangential…
Stronger impurity density in-out poloidal asymmetries than predicted by the most comprehensive neoclassical models have been measured in several tokamaks around the world during the last decade, calling into question the reduction of…
Breaking the up-down symmetry of tokamaks removes a constraint limiting intrinsic momentum transport, and hence toroidal rotation, to be small. Using gyrokinetic theory, we study the effect of different up-down asymmetric flux surface…
We theoretically study the coupling of electric charge and spin polarization in an equilibrium and nonequilibrium electric transport across a two dimensional Josephson configuration comprised of disordered surface channels of a three…
Topological insulators (TIs) constitute a new class of materials with unique properties resulting from the relativistic-like character and topological protection of their surface states. Theory predicts these to exhibit a rich variety of…
In nanoparticulate phase-separating electrodes, phase separation inside the particles can be hindered during their charge/discharge cycles even when a thermodynamic driving force for phase separation exists. In such cases, particles may…
The classical Thomson problem of $n$ charged particles confined to the surface of a sphere of radius $a$ is analyzed within the Darwin approximation of electrodynamics. For $n<n_c(a)$ the ground state corresponds to a hexagonal Wigner…
