NanoNET: an extendable Python framework for semi-empirical tight-binding models
M. V. Klymenko, J. A. Vaitkus, J. S. Smith +1
We present a novel open-source Python framework called NanoNET (Nanoscale Non-equilibrium Electron Transport) for modelling electronic structure and transport. Our method is based…
Aharonov-Bohm interference as a probe of Majorana fermions
T. C. Bartolo, J. S. Smith, B. Muralidharan +3
Majorana fermions act as their own antiparticle, and they have long been thought to be confined to the realm of pure theory. However, interest in them has recently resurfaced, as i…
Simulating the fabrication of aluminium oxide tunnel junctions
M. J. Cyster, J. S. Smith, N. Vogt +3
Aluminium oxide (AlO) tunnel junctions are important components in a range of nanoelectric devices including superconducting qubits where they can be used as Josephson…
Valence instability across magnetostructural transition in USb
Z. E. Brubaker, Y. Xiao, P. Chow +7
We have performed pressure dependent X-ray diffraction and resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy experiments on USb to further characterize the AFM-FM transition occurring near…
Does the boson peak survive in an ultrathin oxide glass?
D. L. Cortie, M. J. Cyster, J. S. Smith +7
Bulk glasses exhibit extra vibrational modes at low energies, known as the boson peak. The microscopic dynamics in nanoscale alumina impact the performance of qubits and other supe…
The effect of atomic structure on the electrical response of aluminium oxide tunnel junctions
M. J. Cyster, J. S. Smith, J. A. Vaitkus +3
Many nanoelectronic devices rely on thin dielectric barriers through which electrons tunnel. For instance, aluminium oxide barriers are used as Josephson junctions in superconducti…
