The solid-state structures of organic charge transfer (CT) salts are critical in determining their mode of charge transport, and hence their unusual electrical properties, which range from semiconducting through metallic to superconducting.…
Understanding heterogeneous charge transfer is crucial if we are to build the best electrolyzers, fuel cells and photoelectrochemical water splitting devices that chemistry allows. Because the elementary processes involved have timescales…
The electronic Seebeck response in a conductor involves the energy-dependent mean free path of the charge carriers and is affected by crystal structure, scattering from boundaries and defects, and strain. Previous photothermoelectric (PTE)…
The evolution of electron conductance in the presence of inelastic effects is studied as an atomic gold contact is formed evolving from a low-conductance regime (tunneling) to a high-conductance regime (contact). In order to characterize…
We theoretically investigate the flow of the atomic excitations in a driven chiral-coupled atomic chain with nonreciprocal decay channels. This one-dimensional system allows infinite-range dipole-dipole interaction, and enables directional…
We report experimental evidence for atomic chain formation during stretching of atomic-sized contacts for gold and silver, that is strongly enhanced due to oxygen incorporation. While gold has been known for its tendency to form atomic…
We measure the low bias conductance of a series of substituted benzene diamine molecules while breaking a gold point contact in a solution of the molecules. Transport through these substituted benzenes is by means of nonresonant tunneling…
We present an in-depth study of electronic transport in atomic-sized gold contacts using Break-Junction (BJ) techniques under cryogenic and ambient conditions. Our experimental results, supported by classical molecular dynamics (CMD)…
Molecule-electrode contact atomic structures are a critical factor that characterizes molecular devices, but their precise understanding and control still remain elusive. Based on combined first-principles calculations and single-molecule…
Interfaces play a crucial role in energy transport at the nanoscale. However, direct experimental observations of interfacial thermal conductance across molecular junctions have remained challenging due to the high spatiotemporal resolution…
We predict that graphene is a unique system where disorder-assisted scattering (supercollisions) dominates electron-lattice cooling over a wide range of temperatures, up to room temperature. This is so because for momentum-conserving…
The correlation between transport properties across sub-nanometric metallic gaps and the optical response of the system is a complex effect which is determined by the fine atomic-scale details of the junction structure. As experimental…
We investigate periodical oscillations in the conductance of suspended Au and Pt atomic chains during elongation under mechanical stress. Analysis of conductance and shot noise measurements reveals that the oscillations are mainly related…
Twisted double bilayer graphene is a compensated semi-metal near the charge neutrality point with the presence of small electron and hole pockets in its band structure. We show that strong Coulomb attraction between the electrons and holes…
We report here the charge transport behavior in graphene nanojunctions in which graphene nanodots, with relatively long relaxation time, are interfaced with ferromagnetic electrodes. Subsequently we explore the effect of substitutional…
Understanding and controlling heat transport in molecular junctions would provide new routes to design nanoscale coupled electronic and phononic devices. Using first principles full quantum calculations, we tune thermal conductance of a…
We study charge and heat transport in normal-metal/superconductor (NS) hybrid junction, based on a tilted anisotropic Dirac material. Using the extended Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk formalism, the conductance spectra of NS borophane, a…
We present theoretical predictions of spintronic transport phenomena that should be observable in ferromagnetic Fe nanocontacts bridged by chains of Fe atoms. We develop appropriate model Hamiltonians based on semi-empirical considerations…
The calculated electron mobility for a graphene nanoribbon as a function of applied electric field has been found to have a large threshold field for entering a nonlinear transport regime. This field depends on the lattice temperature,…
In this paper, we study the conductance and shot noise in transport through a multi-site system in a two terminal configuration. The dependence of the transport on the number of atoms in the atomic wire is investigated using a tight-binding…
