چکیده

We solve the Lippmann-Schwinger equation describing one-dimensional elastic scattering of preformed pairs ~e.g., bipolarons! off a short-range scattering center, and find the two-particle transmission through a thin potential barrier. While the pair transmission is smaller than the single-electron transmission in the strongcoupling limit, it is remarkably larger in the weak-coupling limit. We also calculate current-voltage characteristics of a molecule-barrier-molecule junction. They show unusual temperature and voltage behaviors which are experimentally verifiable at low temperatures in bulk and nanoscale molecular conductors.

Room Temperature Hydrogen Sensor Based on Single-Electron Tunneling Between Palladium Nanoparticles

In this paper, we present the results of single-electron tunneling in two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal closed packed arrays of palladium nanoparticles. After inspecting the emergence of Coulomb blockade phenomena, we demonstrate the possibilities of using these arrays as a single-electron tunneling based hydrogen sensor. We assumed arrays of palladium nanoparticles with diameters of 3.5 and 6...

Applicability of Elastic Analysis for Predicting the Settlement Distribution Around Tunneling in Soft Ground (TECHNICAL NOTE)

In this article a brief review of the literature on the subject is cited. The method of analysis by a finite element program is discussed in which the effect of different influential parameters are examined. The results of these computations are then compared to the corresponding empirical data and two other existing formulae for two dimensional cases. The comparisons show quite reliable and ac...

Interlayer Aharonov-Bohm interference in tilted magnetic fields in quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors.

Different types of angular magnetoresistance oscillations in quasi-one-dimensional layered materials, such as organic conductors (TMTSF)2X, are explained in terms of Aharonov-Bohm interference in interlayer electron tunneling. A two-parameter pattern of oscillations for generic orientations of a magnetic field is visualized and compared to the experimental data. Connections with angular magneto...

Electronic phases of low dimensional conductors

We briefly review the physics of electronic phases in low dimensional conductors. We begin by introducing the properties of the one-dimensional electron gas model using bosonization and renormalization group methods.We then tackle the influence of interchain coupling and go through the different instabilities of the electron system to the formation of higher dimensional states. The connection w...

Electron backscattering on single-wall carbon nanotubes observed by scanning tunneling microscopy

– Single-wall carbon nanotubes, seamless cylindrical molecules formed from a graphene sheet, are either conducting or semiconducting, depending on the particular “wrapping vector” that defines the waist of the tube. Scanning tunneling microscopy experiments have tested this idea by simultaneously measuring a tube’s lattice structure and electronic properties. Here we present a series of STM ima...
