Matter-wave interferometry with composite quantum objects
Markus Arndt, Nadine Dörre, Sandra Eibenberger +5
We discuss modern developments in quantum optics with organic molecules, clusters and nanoparticles -- in particular recent realizations of near-field matter-wave interferometry. A…
Diffracting molecular matter-waves at deep-ultraviolet standing-light waves
Ksenija SimonoviÄ, Richard Ferstl, Alfredo Di Silvestro +6
Matter-wave interferometry with molecules is intriguing both because it demonstrates a fundamental quantum phenomenon and because it opens avenues to quantum-enhanced measurements…
Probing the dynamics and configurations of single molecule junctions via Seebeck coefficient spectroscopy
Juan Hurtado-Gallego, Jeremie Pirard, Abdalghani H. S. Daaoub +5
Single molecule junctions exhibit dynamic structural configurations that strongly influence their electronic and thermoelectric properties. Here, we combine conductance (G) and See…
Large Conductance Variations in a Mechanosensitive Single-Molecule Junction
Davide Stefani, Kevin J. Weiland, Maxim Skripnik +5
The appealing feature of molecular electronics is the possibility of exploiting functionality built within a single molecule. This functionality can be employed, for example, for s…
Temperature and magnetic field dependence of a Kondo system in the weak coupling regime
Yong-hui Zhang, Steffen Kahle, Tobias Herden +6
The Kondo effect arises due to the interaction between a localized spin and the electrons of a surrounding host. Studies of individual magnetic impurities by scanning tunneling spe…
Experimental Evidence for Quantum Interference and Vibrationally Induced Decoherence in Single-Molecule Junctions
Stefan Ballmann, Rainer Härtle, Pedro B. Coto +5
We analyze quantum interference and decoherence effects in single-molecule junctions both experimentally and theoretically by means of the mechanically controlled break junction te…
