Chirality-controlled spin scattering through quantum interference
Jan M. van Ruitenbeek, Richard Korytár, Ferdinand Evers
Chirality-induced spin selectivity has been reported in many experiments, but a generally accepted theoretical explanation has not yet been proposed. Here, we introduce a simple mo…
Current-induced mechanical torque in chiral molecular rotors
Richard Korytár, Ferdinand Evers
A great endeavor has been undertaken to engineer molecular rotors operated by an electrical current. A frequently met operation principle is the transfer of angular momentum taken…
Semiconductor-Bloch Formalism: Derivation and Application to High-Harmonic Generation from Dirac Fermions
Jan Wilhelm, Patrick Grössing, Adrian Seith +5
We rederive the semiconductor Bloch equations emphasizing the close link to the Berry connection. Our rigorous derivation reveals the existence of two further contributions to the…
Advances and challenges in single-molecule electron transport
Ferdinand Evers, Richard Korytár, Sumit Tewari +1
Electronic transport properties for single-molecule junctions have been widely measured by several techniques, including mechanically controllable break junctions, electromigration…
Incommensurate quantum-size oscillations in acene-based molecular wires - effects of quantum fluctuations
Peter Schmitteckert, Ronny Thomale, Richard Korytár +1
Molecular wires of the acene-family can be viewed as a physical realization of a two-rung ladder Hamiltonian. For acene-ladders, closed-shell ab-initio calculations and elementary…
Atomically wired molecular junctions: Connecting a single organic molecule by chains of metal atoms
Tamar Yelin, Ran Vardimon, Natalia Kuritz +5
Using a break junction technique, we find a clear signature for the formation of conducting hybrid junctions composed of a single organic molecule (benzene, naphthalene or anthrace…
