Single Electron Tunneling Junctions
This paper and its associated Python programs explore the dynamics of single electron tunneling junction (SETJ) circuits. SETJs can potentially be used as nonlinear circuit elements to implement new paradigms for information processing. I show that an isolated SETJ circuit with a constant bias voltage and sinusoidal pump offset can produce a variety of interesting nonlinear behavior. By adjusti...
متن کاملMercury-Mercury Tunneling Junctions. 1. Electron Tunneling Across Symmetric and Asymmetric Alkanethiolate Bilayers
Electron tunneling experiments involving Hg-Hg junctions incorporating two alkanethiolate monolayers are described. Formation of a symmetric junction (Hg-SCn-CnS-Hg) is accomplished by bringing in contact two small (3 × 10-3 cm2) mercury drop electrodes in a 5-20% (v/v) hexadecane solution of an alkanethiol. Formation of asymmetric junctions (Hg-SCn-CmS-Hg) and junctions containing n-alkane-3th...
متن کاملTunneling rates in electron transport through double-barrier molecular junctions in a scanning tunneling microscope.
The scanning tunneling microscope enables atomic-scale measurements of electron transport through individual molecules. Copper phthalocyanine and magnesium porphine molecules adsorbed on a thin oxide film grown on the NiAl(110) surface were probed. The single-molecule junctions contained two tunneling barriers, vacuum gap, and oxide film. Differential conductance spectroscopy shows that electro...
متن کاملLow voltage I – V characteristics in magnetic tunneling junctions
In 1975, Julliere proposed a simple model for tunneling between two ferromagnetic metals, assuming that the spin is conserved in the tunneling process and that the tunneling current is proportional to the density of states of each spin at the ferromagnetic electrodes. A magnetoresistance ~MR! effect then appears when one compares the resistance for cases in which the magnetization of the electr...
متن کاملScanning tunneling spectroscopy of Cl vacancies in NaCl films: strong electron-phonon coupling in double-barrier tunneling junctions.
Broad Gaussian line shapes are observed in scanning tunneling spectroscopy of single, localized electronic states induced by Cl vacancies in ultrathin NaCl films on Cu surfaces. Using a simple inelastic resonance tunneling model, we show that the observed broad line shapes are caused by a strong coupling between the localized state and the optical phonons in the film. The parameters for the mod...
