Electrical transport and low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy of microsoldered graphene

V. Geringer, D. Subramaniam, A. K. Michel +7

Using the recently developed technique of microsoldering, we perform a systematic transport study of the influence of PMMA on graphene flakes revealing a doping effect of up to 3.8…

Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in transport through single molecule transistors

S. Herzog, M. R. Wegewijs

The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is shown to result in a canting of spins in a single molecule transistor. We predict non-linear transport signatures of this effect induced by…

Non-equilibrium current and relaxation dynamics of a charge-fluctuating quantum dot

C. Karrasch, S. Andergassen, M. Pletyukhov +4

We study the steady-state current in a minimal model for a quantum dot dominated by charge fluctuations and analytically describe the time evolution into this state. The current is…

Asymmetric Franck-Condon factors in suspended carbon nanotube quantum dots

Fabio Cavaliere, Eros Mariani, Renaud Leturcq +2

Electronic states and vibrons in carbon nanotube quantum dots have in general different location and size. As a consequence, the conventional Anderson-Holstein model, coupling vibr…

Transport through open quantum dots: making semiclassics quantitative

Iva Brezinova, Ludger Wirtz, Stefan Rotter +2

We investigate electron transport through clean open quantum dots (quantum billiards). We present a semiclassical theory that allows to accurately reproduce quantum transport calcu…

Bistability and oscillatory motion of natural nano-membranes appearing within monolayer graphene on silicon dioxide

T. Mashoff, M. Pratzer, V. Geringer +4

The recently found material graphene is a truly two-dimensional crystal and exhibits, in addition, an extreme mechanical strength. This in combination with the high electron mobili…

Power dissipation for systems with junctions of multiple quantum wires

Amit Agarwal, Sourin Das, Diptiman Sen

We study power dissipation for systems of multiple quantum wires meeting at a junction, in terms of a current splitting matrix (M) describing the junction. We present a unified fra…

Transient dynamics of a molecular quantum dot with a vibrational degree of freedom

R. -P. Riwar, T. L. Schmidt

We investigate the transient effects occurring in a molecular quantum dot described by an Anderson-Holstein Hamiltonian which is instantly coupled to two fermionic leads biased by…

Quantum non-demolition measurements of a qubit coupled to a harmonic oscillator

Luca Chirolli, Guido Burkard

We theoretically describe the weak measurement of a two-level system (qubit) and quantify the degree to which such a qubit measurement has a quantum non-demolition (QND) character.…

Graphene quantum dots in perpendicular magnetic fields

J. Guettinger, C. Stampfer, T. Frey +2

We report transport experiments on graphene quantum dots. We focus on excited state spectra in the near vicinity of the charge neutrality point and signatures of the electron-hole…

Aharonov-Bohm effect in a side-gated graphene ring

Magdalena Huefner, Françoise Molitor, Arnhild Jacobsen +4

We investigate the magnetoresistance of a side-gated ring structure etched out of single-layer graphene. We observe Aharonov-Bohm oscillations with about 5% visibility. We are able…

Pair-tunneling resonance in the single-electron transport regime

M. Leijnse, M. R. Wegewijs, M. H. Hettler

We predict a new electron pair-tunneling (PT) resonance in non-linear transport through quantum dots with positive charging energies exceeding the broadening due to thermal and qua…

A perturbative nonequilibrium renormalization group method for dissipative quantum mechanics: Real-time RG in frequency space (RTRG-FS)

Herbert Schoeller

We study a generic problem of dissipative quantum mechanics, a small local quantum system with discrete states coupled in an arbitrary way (i.e. not necessarily linear) to several…

Real-time renormalization group in frequency space: A 2-loop analysis of the nonequilibrium anisotropic Kondo model at finite magnetic field

Herbert Schoeller, Frank Reininghaus

We apply a recently developed nonequilibrium real-time renormalization group method in frequency space to describe nonlinear quantum transport through a small fermionic quantum sys…
