The phase offset between surface charge modulation and geometric undulations in a corrugated nanochannel provides a tunable mechanism for rectified, diode-like ion transport under purely pressure-driven conditions: reversing the applied…
Recent fluorescence spectroscopy experiments on single wall carbon nanotubes reveal substantial deviations of observed absorption and emission energies from predictions of noninteracting models of the electronic structure. Nonetheless, the…
We consider the spin-current driven dynamics of a magnetic nanostructure in a conductive magnetic wire under a heat gradient in an open circuit, spin Seebeck effect geometry. It is shown that the spin-current scattering results in a…
Linear and nonlinear optical properties of low dimensional nanostructures have attracted a large interest in the scientific community as tools to probe the strong confinement of the electrons and for possible applications in optoelectronic…
The unusual band structure of carbon nanotubes (CNs) results in their remarkable magnetic properties. The application of magnetic field parallel to the tube axis can change the conducting properties of the CN from metallic to semiconducting…
Electrically-driven light emission from carbon nanotubes could be exploited in nano-scale lasers and single-photon sources, and has therefore been the focus of much research. However, to date, high electric fields and currents have been…
We study the effect of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction in the quantum transport of carbon nanotubes with arbitrary chiralities. For certain spin directions, we find a strong spin-polarized electrical current that depends on the diameter…
Controlling the flow of electricity in metallic circuits with light is a key goal for future optoelectronics. In this work, we demonstrate all-optical generation and directional control of non-thermal drift photocurrents in a plasmonic gold…
The measured electric resistance of carbon nanotubes wrapped with DNA molecules depends strongly on the spin of the injected electrons. Motivated by these experiments, we study the effect of helix-shaped potentials on the electronic…
Resonant manipulation of carbon nanotube valley-spin qubits by an electric field is investigated theoretically. We develop a new analysis of electrically driven spin resonance exploiting fixed physical characteristics of the nanotube: a…
Two-dimensional ferroelectrics have recently emerged as a promising avenue for next-generation optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices. Due to the intrinsic absence of inversion symmetry, 2D ferroelectrics exhibit bulk photovoltaic effect…
Chiral quantum optics has become a burgeoning field due to its potential applications in quantum networks or quantum simulation of many-body physics. Current implementations are based on the interplay between local polarization and…
We have theoretically investigated electromechanical properties of freely suspended carbon nanotubes when a current is injected into the tubes using a scanning tunneling microscope. We show that a shuttle-like electromechanical instability…
We report a combined electronic transport and structural characterization study of small carbon nanotube bundles in field-effect transistors (FET). The atomic structures of the bundles are determined by electron diffraction using an…
Heat generated by spin currents in spintronics-based devices is typically much less than that generated by charge current flows in conventional electronic devices. However, the conventional approaches for excitation of spin currents based…
Results are presented for the electron current in gold chiral nanotubes (AuNTs). Starting from the band structure of (4,3) and (5,3) AuNTs, we find that the magnitude of the chiral currents are greater than those found in carbon nanotubes.…
We investigate transport properties through nano-ribbons of thin topological insulators irradiated by high frequency light with circular polarization. By using high frequency regime, a coherent and quantized transport through the…
We report correlated-electron calculations of optically excited states in ten semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes with a wide range of diameters. Optical excitation occurs to excitons whose binding energies decrease with the…
Spin currents offer a way to control static and dynamic magnetic properties, and therefore they are crucial for next-generation MRAM devices or spin-torque oscillators. Manipulating the dynamics is especially interesting within the context…
The circular photon drag effect is observed in a bulk semiconductor. The photocurrent caused by a transfer of both translational and angular momenta of light to charge carriers is detected in tellurium in the mid-infrared frequency range.…
