Spin-polarized quantum confinement in nanostructures: Scanning tunneling microscopy
Experimental investigations of spin-polarized electron confinement in nanostructures by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) are reviewed. To appreciate the experimental results on the electronic level, the physical basis of STM is elucidated with special emphasis on the correlation between differential conductance, as measured by STS, and the electron d...
متن کاملBallistic phonon transport in ultra-thin silicon layers: Effects of confinement and orientation
We investigate the effect of confinement and orientation on the phonon transport properties of ultrathin silicon layers of thicknesses between 1 nm and 16 nm. We employ the modified valence force field method to model the lattice dynamics and the ballistic Landauer transport formalism to calculate the thermal conductance. We consider the major thin layer surface orientations {100}, {110}, {111}...
متن کاملConfinement effects in premelting dynamics.
We examine the effects of confinement on the dynamics of premelted films driven by thermomolecular pressure gradients. Our approach is to modify a well-studied setting in which the thermomolecular pressure gradient is driven by a temperature gradient parallel to an interfacially premelted elastic wall. The modification treats the increase in viscosity associated with the thinning of films, stud...
متن کاملEffects of confinement and orientation on the thermoelectric power factor of silicon nanowires
It is suggested that low dimensionality can improve the thermoelectric (TE) power factor of a device, offering an enhancement of the ZT figure of merit. In this paper, the atomistic sp3d5s∗-spin-orbit-coupled tight-binding model and the linearized Boltzmann transport theory is applied to calculate the room-temperature electrical conductivity, the Seebeck coefficient, and the power factor of nar...
متن کاملEffects of Solitary Confinement
Psychopathological reactions to solitary confinement were extensively described by nineteenth-century German clinicians. In the United States there have been several legal challenges to the use of solitary confinement, based on allegations that it may have serious psychiatric consequences. The recent medical literature on this subject has been scarce. The author describes psychiatric symptoms t...
