Dynamics of stacked intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJ) in the high-Tc superconductors is theoretically investigated. We calculate the current-voltage characteristics (CVC) of IJJ and study the breakpoint region on the outermost branch of…
The strong coupling between intense laser fields and valence electrons in molecules causes a distortion of the potential energy hypersurfaces which determine the motion of nuclei in a molecule and influences possible reaction pathways. The…
Vacuum structure, one-particle excitations' spectra and bound states of these excitations are studied in frame of non-relativistic quantum field model with current $\times$ current type interaction. Hidden symmetry of the model is found. It…
In this paper we present a minimalistic model sufficient for current asymmetries in molecules. In particular, we search for an interaction on the molecule which causes current asymmetries independent of additional assumptions or the precise…
We investigate the electron transport properties of a model magnetic molecule formed by two magnetic centers whose exchange coupling can be altered with a longitudinal electric field. In general we find a negative differential conductance…
Low-temperature three-terminal transport measurements through a thiol end-capped Pi -conjugated molecule have been carried out. Electronic excitations, including zero and finite-bias Kondo-effects have been observed and studied as a…
Asymmetric current--voltage ($I(V)$) curves, known as the diode or rectification effect, in one--dimensional electronic conductors can have their origin from scattering off a single asymmetric impurity in the system. We investigate this…
Quantum dots are small conductive regions in a semiconductor, containing a variable number of electrons (N=1 to 1000) that occupy well defined discrete quantum states. They are often referred to as artificial atoms with the unique property…
We propose a model for a molecular junction with internal anharmonic torsional vibrations interacting with an electric current. The Wangsness-Bloch-Redfield master equation approach is used to determine the stationary reduced density matrix…
Weak values allow the measurement of observables associated with noncommuting operators. Up to now, position-momentum weak values have been mainly developed for (relativistic) photons. In this Letter, a proposal for the measurement of such…
We derive a complete expression for the interaction correction to the $I-V$ curve of two connected in series metallic quantum dots. For strongly asymmetric dots in a wide range of parameters this interaction correction depends…
Current experimental and theoretical studies on the effect of intermolecular interactions on molecular conduction appear to be in conflict with each other. In particular, some experimental results, e.g., the observation of 2-dimensional…
Finite-bias electron transport through single molecules generally induces nonequilibrium molecular vibrations (phonons). By a mapping to a Fokker-Planck equation, we obtain analytical scaling forms for the nonequilibrium phonon distribution…
Deep theoretical understanding of the electrical response of Josephson junctions is indispensable regarding both recent discoveries of new kinds of superconductivity and technological advances such as superconducting quantum computers.…
The paper proposes the method to analyze the internal dynamics of nanoscopic systems by periodic modulation of the electrochemical potentials of the attached leads and measuring the time-averaged current. The idea is presented using the…
A formulation for transport in an inhomogeneous, interacting electron gas is described. Electronic current is induced by a constraint condition imposed as a vector Lagrange multiplier. Constrained minimization of the total energy functional…
We demonstrate large rectification ratios (> 100) in single-molecule junctions based on a metal-oxide cluster (polyoxometalate), using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) both at ambient conditions and at low temperature. These…
We extend the ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) method based on density functional theory to the nonequilibrium situation where an electronic current is present in the electronic system. The dynamics is treated using the semi-classical…
A model for the current-voltage characteristic of the junction between an Ion-Sensitive-Membrane and an electrolyte solution is derived and compared with numerical simulations of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck model for ion transport. The…
Current-induced bond rupture is a fundamental process in nanoelectronic architectures such as molecular junctions and in scanning tunneling microscopy measurements of molecules at surfaces. The understanding of the underlying mechanisms is…
