Current-induced spin polarization in chiral Tellurium: a first-principles quantum transport study
Reena Gupta, Andrea Droghetti
Te is a naturally p-doped semiconductor with a chiral structure, where an electrical current causes the conduction electrons to become spin polarized parallel to the transport dire…
Spin-orbit induced equilibrium spin currents in materials
Andrea Droghetti, Ivan Rungger, Angel Rubio +1
The existence of spin-currents in absence of any driving external fields is commonly considered an exotic phenomenon appearing only in quantum materials, such as topological insula…
Robust organic radical molecular junctions using acetylene terminated groups for C-Au bond formation
Francesc Bejarano, Ignacio Jose Olavarria-Contreras, Andrea Droghetti +9
Organic paramagnetic and electroactive molecules are attracting interest as core components of molecular electronic and spintronic devices. Currently, further progress is hindered…
Quantum transport simulation scheme including strong correlations and its application to organic radicals adsorbed on gold
Andrea Droghetti, Ivan Rungger
We present a computational method to quantitatively describe the linear-response conductance of nanoscale devices in the Kondo regime. This method relies on a projection scheme to…
Non-locally sensing the magnetic states of nanoscale antiferromagnets with an atomic spin sensor
Shichao Yan, Luigi Malavolti, Jacob A. J. Burgess +3
The ability to sense the magnetic state of individual magnetic nano-objects is a key capability for powerful applications ranging from readout of ultra-dense magnetic memory to the…
Ab-initio transport across Bismuth Selenide surface barriers
Awadhesh Narayan, Ivan Rungger, Andrea Droghetti +1
We investigate the effect of potential barriers in the form of step edges on the scattering properties of BiSe(111) topological surface states by means of large-scale ab-in…
