Redox molecular junctions are molecular conduction junctions that involve more than one oxidation state of the molecular bridge. This property is derived from the ability of the molecule to transiently localize transmitting electrons,…
This mini review focuses on conductance measurements through molecular junctions containing few tens of molecules, which are fabricated along two approaches: (i) conducting atomic force microscope contacting a self-assembled monolayers on…
The proposed switching mechanism is based on an electronically-induced metal-insulator transition occurring in conditions of the excess non-equilibrium carrier density under the applied electric field. First, this mechanism is developed on…
We determine the zero-bias anomaly of the conductance of tunnel junctions by an approach unifying the conventional Coulomb blockade theory for ultrasmall junctions with the diffusive anomalies in disordered conductors. Both,…
When an electron tunnels between two metal contacts it temporarily induces an image charge (IC) in the electrodes which acts back on the tunneling electron. It is usually assumed that the IC forms instantaneously such that a static model…
We have studied the problem of coherent and sequential tunneling through a double barrier structure, assisted by light considered to be present All over the structure, i,e emitter, well and collector as in the experimental evidence. By…
We report the fabrication and photoluminescence properties of laterally-coupled GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots. The coupling in the quantum dot molecules is tuned by an external electric field. An intricate behavior, consisting of spectral line…
We have used the method of generating functional in imaginary time to derive the current-voltage characteristics of a tunnel junction with arbitrary tunneling conductance, connected in series with an external impedance and a voltage source.…
It is shown that a strong magnetic field applied to a bulk metal induces a Luttinger-liquid phase. This phase is characterized by the zero-bias anomaly in tunneling: the tunneling conductance scales as a power-law of voltage or temperature.…
Above-threshold light emission from plasmonic tunnel junctions, when emitted photons have energies significantly higher than the energy scale of the incident electrons, has attracted much recent interest in nano-optics, while the underlying…
Electromigrated nanoscale junctions have proven very useful for studying electronic transport at the single-molecule scale. However, confirming that conduction is through precisely the molecule of interest and not some contaminant or metal…
We introduce a direct (Seebeck) and inverse (Peltier) thermoelectric effect induced by electron tunneling between closely separated conducting films. When a transverse temperature gradient is applied along one of two films, a bias voltage…
Two infinite, two-dimensional, lattice, free fermion systems, initially in different invariant states, are allowed to communicate via two point contacts, through which direct tunneling of fermions takes place. Calculations of the local…
An efficient silicon based light source presents an unreached goal in the field of photonics, due to Silicons indirect electronic band structure preventing direct carrier recombination and subsequent photon emission. Here we utilize…
We model the disassembly of an excited nuclear system formed as a result of a heavy ion collision. We find that, as the beam energy in central collisions in varied, the dissociating system crosses a liquid-gas coexistence curve, resulting…
We have measured conductance histograms of atomic point contacts made from the noble-transition metal alloys CuNi, AgPd, and AuPt for a concentration ratio of 1:1. For all alloys these histograms at low bias voltage (below 300 mV) resemble…
The lecture introduces a reader to the relatively young field of physics of strongly interacting and disordered 2D electron system, in particular, to the phenomena of the metallic conduction and the apparent metal-insulator transition in…
Quasi-static models of barrier suppression have played a major role in our understanding of the ionization of atoms and molecules in strong laser fields. Despite their success, in the case of diatomic molecules these studies have so far…
Current-induced magnetic switching of a single magnetic molecule attached to two ferromagnetic contacts is considered theoretically, with the main emphasis put on the role of intrinsic spin relaxation processes. It is shown that…
We consider effects of strong light-matter interaction on electronic friction in molecular junctions within generic model of single molecule nano cavity junction. Results of the Hubbard NEGF simulations are compared with mean-field NEGF and…
