Measurement of the energy dependence of phase relaxation by single electron tunneling
نویسنده
چکیده
Single electron tunneling through a single impurity level is used to probe the fluctuations of the local density of states in the emitter. The energy dependence of quasiparticle relaxation in the emitter can be extracted from the damping of the fluctuations of the local density of states (LDOS). At larger magnetic fields Zeeman splitting is observed.

متن کاملRoom 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...

A novel method is introduced to measure the phase-relaxation rate in disordered Fermi liquids. We deduce the dephasing rate from the magnitude of fluctuations in the local density of states, which are probed via resonant tunneling through a localized impurity state. While previous work focused on the temperature dependence of phase relaxation, we are able to determine the dephasing rate γφ of h...

A spectroscopic method is applied to measure the inelastic quasi-particle relaxation rate in a disordered Fermi liquid. The quasi-particle relaxation rate, γ is deduced from the magnitude of fluctuations in the local density of states, which are probed using resonant tunneling through a localized impurity state. We study its dependence on the excitation energy E measured from the Fermi level. I...

We examine theoretically electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) lineshapes as functions of resonance frequency, energy level, and temperature for single crystals of three different kinds of single-molecule nanomagnets (SMMs): Mn12 acetate, Fe8Br, and the S = 9/2 Mn4 compound. We use a density-matrix equation and consider distributions in the uniaxial (second-order) anisotropy parameter D and the...
