A key cause of chemo-mechanical degradation in battery electrodes is that they undergo abrupt phase transformation during the charging/discharging cycle. This phase transformation is accompanied by lattice misfit strains that nucleate…

A critical challenge for the integration of the optoelectronics is that photodetectors have relatively poor sensitivities at the nanometer scale. It is generally believed that a large electrodes spacing in photodetectors is required to…

In order to study the tunneling of electrons through an interacting, 1D, dimerized molecule connected to leads, we consider the persistent current in a ring embedding this molecule. We find numerically that, for spinless fermions, a…

We use an optical centrifuge to excite coherent rotational wave packets in N$_2$O, CS$_2$ and OCS molecules with rotational quantum numbers reaching up to J=465, 690 and 1186, respectively. Time-resolved rotational spectroscopy at such…

In an earlier pre-print we developed a variant of the point defect model that corrected a flaw in one of the defect reactions and to be specific reaction 3 of the original point defect model was replaced by reaction 3prime of the variant.…

The Planar Model of the Electrode-Vacuum-Electrode configuration for STM in which electrode surfaces are assumed to be infinite parallel planes, with atomic size separation and vacuum between them, is used to calculate tunneling current…

Electrical currents at the surface or edge of a topological insulator are intrinsically spin-polarized. We show that such surface/edge currents can be used to switch the orientation of a molecular magnet weakly coupled to the surface or…

Molecular transistors have the potential for switching with lower gate voltages than conventional field-effect transistors. We have calculated the performance of a single-molecule device in which there is interference between electron…

We demonstrate to image asymmetric molecular orbitals via high-order harmonic generation in a one-color inhomogeneous field. Due to the broken inversion symmetry of the inhomogeneous field in space, the returning electrons with energy in a…

Motivated by recent experiments, we calculate both the average current and the current fluctuations for a metallic island which oscillates between two symmetric electrodes. Electrons can only tunnel on or off the island when it is close to…

Electrical impedance tomography aims at reconstructing the conductivity inside a physical body from boundary measurements of current and voltage at a finite number of contact electrodes. In many practical applications, the shape of the…

Accelerators magnets must have minimal magnetic field imperfections for reducing particle-beam instabilities. In the case of coils made of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes, the field imperfections from persistent currents need…

When an electron or a hole is added into an orbital of an adsorbed molecule the substrate electrons will rearrange in order to screen the added charge. This results in a reduction of the electron addition/removal energies as compared to the…

We theoretically study the spin-polarized transport through a single-molecule magnet, which is weakly coupled to ferromagnetic leads, by means of the rate-equation approach. We consider both the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic…

Obtaining highly spin-polarized currents in molecular junctions is crucial and desirable for nanoscale spintronics devices. Motivated by our recent symmetry-based theoretical argument for complete blocking of one spin conductance channel in…

A novel variational method is proposed for calculating the percolation threshold, the real-space structure, and the thermodynamical compressibility of a disordered two-dimensional electron liquid. Its high accuracy is verified against prior…

In scanning tunneling microscopy induced luminescence (STML), the photon counting is measured to reflect the single-molecule properties, e.g., the first molecular excited state. The energy of the first excited state is typically determined…

We have investigated the thermal rectification phenomenon in a single-wall mass graded carbon nanotube by molecular dynamics simulation. Second generation Brenner potential has been used to model the inter atomic carbon interaction. Fixed…

We report on the modulation of tunneling resistance in MoS2 monolayers by nano-indentation using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The resistance between the conductive AFM tip and the bottom electrode separated by a monolayer MoS2 is…

We report transport properties and particle current rectification operation in a double-stranded tight-binding ladder network within non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism that can easily be generalized in multi-stranded systems.…
