Tunneling of single electrons has been thoroughly studied both theoretically and experimentally during last ten years. By the present time the basic physics is well understood, and creation of useful single-electron devices becomes the…

We present self-consistent, non-equilibrium Green's function calculations of the characteristics of short channel carbon nanotube transistors, focusing on the regime of ballistic transport with ohmic contacts. We first establish that the…

We introduce a new class of spintronics devices in which a spin-valve like effect results from strong spin-orbit coupling in a single ferromagnetic layer rather than from injection and detection of a spin-polarized current by two coupled…

Electron tunneling through mesoscopic metallic grains can be treated perturbatively only provided the tunnel junction conductances are sufficiently small. If it is not the case, fluctuations of the grain charge become strong. As a result…

We analyze the response of a nanomechanical resonator to an external drive when it is also coupled to a single-electron transistor (SET). The interaction between the SET electrons and the mechanical resonator depends on the amplitude of the…

We show how the noise in a spin polarized STM tunneling current gives valuable spectroscopic information on the temporal susceptibility of a single magnetic atom residing on a non-magnetic surface.

Feedback control of quantum mechanical systems is rapidly attracting attention not only due to fundamental questions about quantum measurements but also because of its novel applications in many fields in physics. Quantum control has been…

Electron tunneling in ferromagnetic single-electron transistors is considered theoretically in the sequential tunneling regime. A new formalism is developed, which operates in a two-dimensional space of states, instead of one-dimensiona…

One core challenge of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) is their efficient actuation. A promising concept superseding resonant driving is self-oscillation. Here we demonstrate voltage-sustained self-oscillation of a nanomechanical charge…

New experiments that measure the low-frequency shot-noise spectrum at local tunneling contacts on mesoscopic structures are proposed. The current fluctuation spectrum at a single tunneling tip is determined by local partial densities of…

We study the quantum coherent-tunneling between two Bose-Einstein condensates separated through an oscillating trap potential. The cases of slowly and rapidly varying in time trap potential are considered. In the case of a slowly varying…

Current-voltage characteristics of suspended single-wall carbon nanotube quantum dots show a series of steps equally spaced in voltage. The energy scale of this harmonic, low-energy excitation spectrum is consistent with that of the…

Superfluid $^4$He is a promising material for optomechanical and electromechanical applications due to its low acoustic loss. Some of the more intriguing aspects of superfluidity -- the macroscopic coherence, topological nature of…

We present a microscopic study of single-electron tunneling in nanomechanical double-barrier tunneling junctions formed using a vibrating scanning nanoprobe and a metallic nanoparticle connected to a metallic substrate through a molecular…

We report a numerical study of the tunnel conductance through the Schottky barrier at the contact between a semiconducting carbon nanotube and a metal electrode. In a planar gate model the asymmetry between the p--doped and the n--doped…

The recent experiment of Stettenheim, et al. showed that, contrary to conventional belief, the coupling of a quantum electronic device to its substrate can have important effects on the noise power spectrum, since the substrate functions as…

Stochastic oscillators based on emerging nanodevices are attractive because of their ultra-low power requirement and ability to exhibit stochastic resonance, a phenomenon where synchronization to weak input signals is enabled due to ambient…

Earlier theory and measurements show that nanomechanical electron shuttles can work as ratchets for radio-frequency rectification, but its performance was hard to predict so far. This paper focuses on the coupled shuttles which can…

Analysis of room-temperature current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of a silicon box in a nanopillar transistor suggests that a weak electromechanical coupling of 0.17 is responsible for the stable tunnel of single-electron. The dynamics…

The current noise spectrum of a single-electron transistor (SET) coupled to a nano-mechanical resonator is calculated in the classical regime. Correlations between the charge on the SET island and the position of the resonator give rise to…
