Tuning carbon nanotube bandgaps with strain

E. D. Minot, Yuval Yaish, Vera Sazonova +3

We show that the band structure of a carbon nanotube (NT) can be dramatically altered by mechanical strain. We employ an atomic force microscope tip to simultaneously vary the NT s…

Scattering matrix ensemble for time-dependent transport through a chaotic quantum dot

M L Polianski, P W Brouwer

Random matrix theory can be used to describe the transport properties of a chaotic quantum dot coupled to leads. In such a description, two approaches have been taken in the litera…

Using single quantum states as spin filters to study spin polarization in ferromagnets

Mandar M. Deshmukh, D. C. Ralph

By measuring electron tunneling between a ferromagnet and individual energy levels in an aluminum quantum dot, we show how spin-resolved quantum states can be used as filters to de…

Measurements of strongly-anisotropic g-factors for spins in single quantum states

J. R. Petta, D. C. Ralph

We have measured the full angular dependence, as a function of the direction of magnetic field, for the Zeeman splitting of individual energy states in copper nanoparticles. The g-…

Magnetic-field dependence of energy levels in ultrasmall metal grains

S. Adam, M. L. Polianski, X. Waintal +1

We present a theory of mesoscopic fluctuations of g tensors and avoided crossing energies in a small metal grain. The model, based on random matrix theory, contains both the orbita…

Reply to the comment by E. Menendez-Proupin on "Multi-phonon Raman scattering in semiconductor nanocrystals: Importance of non-adiabatic transitions"

E. P. Pokatilov, S. N. Klimin, V. M. Fomin +2

In our recent paper [Phys. Rev. B 65, 075316 (2002)], the selection rules for the Raman scattering in spherical nanocrystals are analyzed. Here we show, that a physically expedient…

Thermally-Activated Magnetic Reversal Induced by a Spin-Polarized Current

E. B. Myers, F. J. Albert, J. C. Saneky +3

We have measured the statistical properties of magnetic reversal in nanomagnets driven by a spin-polarized current. Like reversal induced by a magnetic field, spin-transfer-driven…

Enhanced mesoscopic fluctuations in the crossover between random matrix ensembles

Shaffique Adam, Piet W. Brouwer, James P. Sethna +1

In random-matrix ensembles that interpolate between the three basic ensembles (orthogonal, unitary, and symplectic), there exist correlations between elements of the same eigenvect…

Noise through Quantum Pumps

M. L. Polianski, M. G. Vavilov, P. W. Brouwer

We study the current noise through an unbiased quantum electron pump and its mesoscopic fluctuations for arbitrary temperatures and beyond the bilinear response. In the bilinear re…

Universality of delocalization in unconventional dirty superconducting wires with broken spin-rotation symmetry

P. W. Brouwer, A. Furusaki, C. Mudry

In dirty superconducting wires, quasiparticle states at the Fermi level need not be exponentially localized if spin-rotation symmetry is broken [Brouwer {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. Le…
