Simulating bistable current-induced switching of metallic atomic contacts by electron-vibration scattering
Markus Ring, Fabian Pauly, Peter Nielaba +1
We present a microscopic model, describing current-driven switching in metallic atomic-size contacts. Applying a high current through an atomic-size contact, creates a strong elect…
Microscopic theory of supercurrent suppression by gate-controlled surface depairing
Subrata Chakraborty, Danilo Nikolić, Juan Carlos Cuevas +5
Recently gate-mediated supercurrent suppression in superconducting nano-bridges has been reported in many experiments. This could be either a direct or an indirect gate effect. The…
Influence of electron-vibration interactions on electronic current noise of atomic and molecular junctions
S. G. Bahoosh, M. A. Karimi, W. Belzig +2
We present an ab-initio method to simulate the current noise in the presence of electron-vibration interactions in atomic and molecular junctions at finite temperature. Using a com…
Spatial modulation of nonlinear flexural vibrations of membrane resonators
Fan Yang, Felix Rochau, Jana Huber +4
We study the vibrational motion of membrane resonators upon strong drive in the strongly nonlinear regime. By imaging the vibrational state of rectangular siliconnitride membrane r…
Quantitative signal extraction in the dynamic range of nanomechanical systems by free and constrained fitting
Fan Yang, Reimar Waitz, Mengqi Fu +1
We present a free and a constrained fitting procedure for quantitative signal extraction of nanomechanical systems in the dynamic range and for physical model testing. We demonstra…
Electronic Transport in Gadolinium Atomic-Size Contacts
B. Olivera, C. Salgado, J. L. Lado +6
We report on the fabrication, transport measurements, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations of atomic size contacts made out of gadolinium (Gd). Gd is known to have loca…
