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...
متن کاملSpin effects in single electron tunneling
An important consequence of the discovery of giant magnetoresistance in metallic magnetic multilayers is a broad interest in spin dependent effects in electronic transport through magnetic nanostructures. An example of such systems are tunnel junctions – single-barrier planar junctions or more complex ones. In this review we present and discuss recent theoretical results on electron and spin tr...
متن کاملEffects of confinement and electron transport on magnetic switching in single Co nanoparticles
This work reports the first study of current-driven magnetization noise in a single, nanometerscale, ferromagnetic (Co) particle, attached to normal metal leads by high-resistance tunneling junctions. As the tunnel current increases at low temperature, the magnetic switching field decreases, its probability distribution widens, while the temperature of the environment remains nearly constant. T...
متن کاملSpin-dependent trap-assisted tunneling in magnetic tunnel junctions: A Monte Carlo study
Spin-dependent resonant tunneling is responsible for the large resistance modulation with magnetic fields observed in three-terminal spin accumulation experiments [1]; however, the expression for the magnetoresistance dependence was questioned [2]. To resolve the controversy, we developed a numerical Monte Carlo approach for the trap-assisted spin tunneling in tunnel junctions. In contrast to s...
متن کاملResonant Spin-dependent Tunneling in Spin-valve Junctions in the Presence of Paramagnetic
The tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) of F/O/F magnetic junctions, (F’s are ferromagnetic layers and O is an oxide spacer) in the presence of magnetic impurities within the barrier, is investigated. We assume that magnetic couplings exist both between the spin of impurity and the bulk magnetization of the neighboring magnetic electrode, and between the spin of impurity and the spin of tunneling el...
