We have studied low-temperature properties of interacting electrons in a one-dimensional quantum wire (Luttinger liquid) side-hybridized with a single-level impurity. The hybridization induces a back-scattering of electrons in the wire…
Electronic transport properties of the disordered quantum wires are considered. The disorder is introduced via impurities (point scatterers), distributed uniformly over the two-dimensional strip, which represents a model quantum wire.…
We investigate the electronic origin of the bending stiffness of conducting molecules. It is found that the bending stiffness associated with electronic motion, which we refer to as electro-stiffness, $\kappa_{e}$, is governed by the…
We study the model of a molecular switch comprised of a molecule with a soft vibrational degree of freedom coupled to metallic leads. In the presence of strong electron-ion interaction, different charge states of the molecule correspond to…
Quantum transport for different models of isomer molecules attached to two semi-infinite leads is studied on the basis of Green's function technique. Electronic transport properties are significantly affected by (a) the relative position of…
We have studied the band and optical properties of self-assembled quantum wires. In particular, the band structures and optical matrix elements of strained multiple quantum-wires (QWR's) are investigated theoretically via the effective…
We study the ballistic edge-channel transport in quantum wires with a magnetic quantum dot, which is formed by two different magnetic fields B^* and B_0 inside and outside the dot, respectively. We find that the electron states located near…
A minimal model for coherent transport through a donor/acceptor molecular junction is presented. The two donor and acceptor sites are described by single levels energetically separated by an intramolecular tunnel barrier. In the limit of…
We investigate theorerically the non-equilibrium transport through a molecular quantum dot as a function of gate and bias voltage, taking into account the typical situation in molecular electronics. In this respect, our study includes…
We present analytic and numerical studies based on Landauer theory of conductance antiresonances of molecular wires. Our analytic treatment is a solution of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation for the wire that includes the effects of the…
We investigate the effect on molecular transport due to the different structural aspects of metal-molecule interfaces. The example system chosen is the prototypical molecular device formed by sandwiching the phenyl dithiolate molecule (PDT)…
Electronic transport in narrow gap semiconductors is characterized by spontaneous vertical transitions between carriers in the valence and conduction bands, a phenomenon also known as Zener tunneling. However, this effect is not captured by…
Electron transport properties through single conjugated molecules sandwiched between two non-superconducting electrodes are studied by the use of Green's function technique. Based on the tight-binding model, we do parametric calculations to…
We study the interplay of intrinsic-electronic and environmental factors on long-range charge transport across molecular chains with up to $N\sim 80$ monomers. We describe the molecular electronic structure of the chain with a tight-binding…
We report low-temperature transport measurements through a double quantum dot device in a configuration where one of the quantum dots is coupled directly to the source and drain electrodes, and a second (side-coupled) quantum dot interacts…
The bound state energies of L-shaped or T-shaped quantum wires in inhomogeous magnetic fields are found to depend strongly on the asymmetric parameter $\alpha =W_{2}/W_{1}$, i.e. the ratio of the arm widths. Two effects of magnetic field on…
We have investigated electron transport in a quasi-one dimensional (quasi-1D) electron gas as a function of the confinement potential. At a particular potential configuration, and electron concentration, the ground state of a 1D quantum…
The bosonization technique to describe correlated electrons in a one-dimensional quantum wire containing impurities is extended to include an applied voltage source. The external reservoirs are shown to lead to a boundary condition for the…
We investigate the semiclassical electronic transport properties of the bilayer silicene-like system in the presence of charged impurity. The trigonal warping due to the interlayer hopping, and its effect to the band structure of bilayer…
The low-lying eigenstates of a system of two electrons confined within a two-dimensional quantum dot with a hard polygonal boundary are obtained by means of exact diagonalization. The transition from a weakly correlated charge distribution…
