Ultrafast optically induced tunneling in narrow metallic gaps from the time dependent density functional perspective
Boyang Ma, Antton Babaze, Michael Krüger +2
In this work, using the time-dependent density functional theory, we address the electron tunneling triggered by short (single-cycle and several-cycle) optical pulses in narrow met…

Clocking and controlling attosecond currents in a scanning tunnelling microscope
Daniel Davidovich, Boyang Ma, Adi Goldner +4
Quantum tunnelling of electrons can be confined to the sub-cycle time scale of strong light fields, contributing decisively to the extreme time resolution of attosecond science. Be…

Robust strong-field theory model for ultrafast electron transport through metal-insulator-metal tunneling nanojunctions
Boyang Ma, Michael Krüger
Ultrafast science studies the dynamics of electrons in matter with extreme temporal precision, typically in the attosecond and femtosecond time domain. Recent experimental and theo…
