Theory of tunneling transport in periodic chains

Emil Prodan, Roberto Car

We present an extended discussion of a recently proposed theoretical approach for off-resonance tunneling transport. The proofs and the arguments are explained at length and simple…

Robustness of the Spin-Chern number

Emil Prodan

The Spin-Chern () was originally introduced on finite samples by imposing spin boundary conditions at the edges. This definition lead to confusing and contradictory statements…

An edge index for the Quantum Spin-Hall effect

Emil Prodan

Quantum Spin-Hall systems are topological insulators displaying dissipationless spin currents flowing at the edges of the samples. In contradistinction to the Quantum Hall systems…

The edge spectrum of Chern insulators with rough boundaries

Emil Prodan

Chern insulators are periodic band insulators with the property that their projector onto the occupied bands have non-zero Chern number. Chern insulator with a homogeneous boundary…

Band Alignment in Molecular Devices: Influence of Anchoring Group and Metal Work Function

Jian-guo Wang, Emil Prodan, Roberto Car +1

We present periodic Density Functional Theory calculations of the electronic properties of molecular junctions formed by amine-, and thiol-terminated alkane chains attached to two…

Tunneling conductance of amine linked alkyl chains

Emil Prodan, Roberto Car

The tunneling transport theory developed in Phys. Rev. B {\bf 76}, 115102 (2007) is applied to molecular devices made of alkyl chains linked to gold electrodes via amine groups. Us…
