Evidence of an Off-resonant Electronic Transport Mechanism in Helicenes

T. de Ara, C. Hsu, A. Martinez-Garcia +9

Helical molecules have been identified as potential candidates for investigating electronic transport, spin filtering, or even piezoelectricity. However, the description of the tra…

Unraveling the Interplay between Quantum Transport and Geometrical Conformations in Monocyclic Hydrocarbons Molecular Junctions

A. Martinez-Garcia, T. de Ara, L. Pastor-Amat +4

In the field of molecular electronics, particularly in quantum transport studies, the orientation of molecules plays a crucial role. This orientation, with respect to the electrode…

Simulation of the Einstein-de Haas effect combining molecular and spin dynamics

W. Dednam, C. Sabater, A. E. Botha +3

The spin and lattice dynamics of a ferromagnetic nanoparticle are studied via molecular dynamics and with semi-classical spin dynamics simulations where spin and lattice degrees of…

A group-theoretic approach to the origin of chirality-induced spin selectivity in non-magnetic molecular junctions

W. Dednam, M. A. García-Blázquez, Linda A. Zotti +4

Spin-orbit coupling gives rise to a range of spin-charge interconversion phenomena in non-magnetic systems where certain spatial symmetries are reduced or absent. Chirality-induced…

Dynamic bonding influenced by the proximity of adatoms to one-atom high step edges

W. Dednam, S. Tewari, E. B. Lombardi +3

Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy is used here to study dynamic bonding of gold atoms on surfaces under low coordination conditions. In the experiments, using an atomic…

Influence of relativistic effects on the contact formation of transition metals

M. R. Calvo, C. Sabater, W. Dednam +3

Our analysis of the contact formation processes undergone by Au, Ag and Cu nanojunctions, reveals that the distance at which the two closest atoms on a pair of opposing electrodes…
