Förster mechanism of electron-driven proton pumps.
We examine a simple model of proton pumping through the inner membrane of mitochondria in the living cell. We demonstrate that the pumping process can be described using approaches of condensed matter physics. In the framework of this model, we show that the resonant Förster-type energy exchange due to electron-proton Coulomb interaction can provide a unidirectional flow of protons against an e...

متن کاملElectron tunnelling in self-assembled monolayers
A review on the mechanisms and characterization methods of electronic transport through self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is presented. Using SAMs of alkanethiols in a nanometre scale device structure, tunnelling is unambiguously demonstrated as the main intrinsic conduction mechanism for defect-free large bandgap SAMs, exhibiting well-known temperature and length dependences. Inelastic electron...
متن کاملELECTRON TUNNELLING IN HIGH-Tc”Nb3Ge” FILMS
Energy gap structure associated with superconducting Nb,Ge has been observed on the normal side of Al-Nb3Ge proximity sandwiches. The possible use of tunnelling junctions of this type to study the electron-phonon spectra of Ift̂ Ge is pointed out. Single particle tunnelling measurements are in principle a powerful technique for obtaining the electron-phonon spectral function aF(w). While procedu...
متن کاملDelayed electron emission in strong-field driven tunnelling from a metallic nanotip in the multi-electron regime
Illuminating a nano-sized metallic tip with ultrashort laser pulses leads to the emission of electrons due to multiphoton excitations. As optical fields become stronger, tunnelling emission directly from the Fermi level becomes prevalent. This can generate coherent electron waves in vacuum leading to a variety of attosecond phenomena. Working at high emission currents where multi-electron effec...
