Current-induced dynamics in carbon atomic contacts
BACKGROUND The effect of electric current on the motion of atoms still poses many questions, and several mechanisms are at play. Recently there has been focus on the importance of the current-induced nonconservative forces (NC) and Berry-phase derived forces (BP) with respect to the stability of molecular-scale contacts. Systems based on molecules bridging electrically gated graphene electrodes...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics of carbon nanotubule proximal probe tip-surface contacts
The mechanisms by which carbon nanotubule ~CNT! proximal probe tips deform during the indentation of surfaces are explored using classical molecular-dynamics simulations. The forces acting on the atoms in the simulations are calculated using the Brenner empirical bond-order potential for hydrocarbons. The results show that open and capped single-walled CNT tips indented against hydrogen-termina...

متن کاملQuantized magnetoresistance in atomic-size contacts.
When the dimensions of a metallic conductor are reduced so that they become comparable to the de Broglie wavelengths of the conduction electrons, the absence of scattering results in ballistic electron transport and the conductance becomes quantized. In ferromagnetic metals, the spin angular momentum of the electrons results in spin-dependent conductance quantization and various unusual magneto...
متن کاملMagnetotransport in atomic-size bismuth contacts.
We report low-temperature transport experiments on atomic-size contacts of bismuth that are fabricated using the mechanically controlled break-junction technique at low temperatures. We observe stable contacts with conductance values at fractions of one conductance quantum G0 = 2e(2)/h, as is expected for systems with long Fermi wavelength. We defer two preferred conductance scales: the lower o...
