Physical approaches to DNA sequencing and detection
Michael Zwolak, Massimiliano Di Ventra
With the continued improvement of sequencing technologies, the prospect of genome-based medicine is now at the forefront of scientific research. To realize this potential, however,…
Current-voltage characteristics of semiconductor/ferromagnet junctions in the spin blockade regime
Yu. V. Pershin, M. Di Ventra
It was recently predicted [Phys. Rev. B 75, 193301 (2007)] that spin blockade may develop at nonmagnetic semiconductor/perfect ferromagnet junctions when the electron flow is direc…
Hall Voltage with the Spin Hall Effect
Yu. V. Pershin, M. Di Ventra
The spin Hall effect does not generally result in a charge Hall voltage. We predict that in systems with inhomogeneous electron density in the direction perpendicular to main curre…
Electronic viscosity in a quantum well: A test for the local density approximation
Roberto D'Agosta, Massimiliano Di Ventra, Giovanni Vignale
In the local density approximation (LDA) for electronic time-dependent current-density functional theory (TDCDFT) many-body effects are described in terms of the visco-elastic cons…
Microscopic Current Dynamics in Nanoscale Junctions
Na Sai, Neil Bushong, Ryan Hatcher +1
So far transport properties of nanoscale contacts have been mostly studied within the static scattering approach. The electron dynamics and the transient behavior of current flow,…
Spin blockade at semiconductor/ferromagnet junctions
Yu. V. Pershin, M. Di Ventra
We study theoretically extraction of spin-polarized electrons at nonmagnetic semiconductor/ferromagnet junctions. The outflow of majority spin electrons from the semiconductor into…
