Efficient Treatment of Relativistic Effects with Periodic Density Functional Methods: Energies, Gradients, and Stress Tensors
Yannick J. Franzke, Werner M. Schosser, Fabian Pauly
The implementation of an efficient self-consistent field (SCF) method including both scalar relativistic effects and spin-orbit interaction in density functional theory (DFT) is pr…
Simulating bistable current-induced switching of metallic atomic contacts by electron-vibration scattering
Markus Ring, Fabian Pauly, Peter Nielaba +1
We present a microscopic model, describing current-driven switching in metallic atomic-size contacts. Applying a high current through an atomic-size contact, creates a strong elect…
Phononic heat conductance of gold atomic contacts: Coherent versus incoherent transport
Fabian Müller, Peter Nielaba, Juan Carlos Cuevas +1
We present here a theoretical method to determine the phononic contribution to the thermal conductance of nanoscale systems in the phase-coherent regime. Our approach makes use of…
Quantum-correlated photons generated by nonlocal electron transport
Felicitas Hellbach, Fabian Pauly, Wolfgang Belzig +1
Since the realization of high-quality microwave cavities coupled to quantum dots, one can envisage the possibility to investigate the coherent interaction of light and matter in se…
Extracting the Transport Channel Transmissions in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy using the Superconducting Excess Current
Jacob Senkpiel, Robert Drost, Jan C. Klöckner +6
Transport through quantum coherent conductors, like atomic junctions, is described by the distribution of conduction channels. Information about the number of channels and their tr…
Phonon-assisted carrier cooling in h-BN/graphene van der Waals heterostructures
Sangkha Borah, Dinesh Yadav, Maxim Trushin +1
Being used in optoelectronic devices as ultra-thin conductor-insulator junctions, detailed investigations are needed about how exactly h-BN and graphene hybridize. Here, we present…
