We present a Green's function approach based on a LCAO scheme to compute the elastic propagation of electrons injected from a STM tip into a metallic film. The obtained 2D current distribution in real and reciprocal space furnish a good…

A systematic transport study of the ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM) of Au/Si(100) and Au/Si(111) Schottky barriers for different thicknesses of the metal layer and different temperatures is presented. It is shown that the…

We address the question of the spatial resolution of ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM) of Shottky barriers in Au(111)/Si(100) and Au(111)/Si(111) interfaces. A novel combination of Green-function and k-space Ensemble-Monte-Carlo…

Using a Green's function approach, we investigate band structure effects in the BEEM current distribution in reciprocal space. In the elastic limit, this formalism provides a 'parameter free' solution to the BEEM problem. At low…

Ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM) was performed to obtain nanoscale current versus bias characteristics of non-epitaxial Au on p-type GaAs in order to accurately measure the local Schottky barrier height. Hole injection BEEM…

We consider a quantum theory of elastic light scattering from macroscopic atomic sample existing in the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) phase. Following to the second quantized formalism we introduce a set of coupled and closed diagram…

Unusual features in the bias dependence of spin transport are observed in a Co/Au/NiFe spin valve fabricated on a highly textured Cu(100)/Si(100) Schottky interface, exploiting the local probing capabilities of a Ballistic electron magnetic…

We develop a phase-space ab-initio formalism to compute Ballistic Electron Emission Spectroscopy current-voltage I(V)'s in a metal-semiconductor interface. We consider injection of electrons into the conduction band for direct bias ($V>0$)…

Applying a Keldysh Green`s function method it is shown that hot electrons injected from a STM-tip into a CoSi${}_2$/Si(111) system form a highly focused beam due to the silicide band structure. This explains the atomic resolution obtained…

Approximated numerical techniques, for the solution of the elastic wave scattering problem over semi-infinite domains are reviewed. The approximations involve the representation of the half-space by a boundary condition described in terms…

Using scanning gate microscopy (SGM), we probe the scattering between a beam of electrons and a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) as a function of the beam's injection energy, and distance from the injection point. At low injection…

High quality electron beams, with high spatial and tempo- ral resolution, have an important use in electron diffraction experiments to probe and study the constituents of matter. A cold electron source is being developed based on elec- tron…

We investigate electron transport across a complex oxide heterointerface of La$_{0.67}$Sr$_{0.33}$MnO$_3$ (LSMO) on Nb:SrTiO$_3$ (Nb:STO) at different temperatures. For this, we employ the conventional current-voltage method as well as the…

We demonstrate theoretically that spin dynamics of electrons injected into a GaAs semiconductor structure through a Schottky barrier possesses strong non-equilibrium features. Electrons injected are redistributed quickly among several…

After the discovery of GMR by Fert and Gr\"unberg, electronics had a breakthrough with the birth of a new branch called spintronics. This discipline, while still young, exploits the spin of electrons. Most quantum devices exploiting this…

We consider a quantum theory of elastic light scattering from a macroscopic atomic sample existing in the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) phase. The dynamics of the optical excitation induced by an incident photon is influenced by the…

We consider the common problem setting of an elastic sphere impacting on a flexible beam. In contrast to previous studies, we analyze the modal energy distribution induced by the impact, having in mind the particular application of impact…

We derive a general expression for the low-temperature current distribution in a two-dimensional electron gas, subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field and in a confining potential that varies slowly on the scale of the magnetic length…

We suggest a consistent microscopic theory of spin injection from a ferromagnet (FM) into a semiconductor (S). It describes tunneling and emission of electrons through modified FM-S Schottky barrier with an ultrathin heavily doped…

We have studied experimentally and theoretically the influence of electron-electron collisions on the propagation of electron beams in a two-dimensional electron gas for excess injection energies ranging from zero up to the Fermi energy. We…
