Anisotropic magnetoresistance in ferromagnetic atomic-sized metal contacts
M. Häfner, J. K. Viljas, J. C. Cuevas
Recent experiments in ferromagnetic atomic-sized contacts have shown that the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) is greatly enhanced and has an asymmetric angular dependence as co…
Cluster-based density-functional approach to quantum transport through molecular and atomic contacts
F. Pauly, J. K. Viljas, U. Huniar +5
We present a cluster-based density-functional approach to model charge transport through molecular and atomic contacts. The electronic structure of the contacts is determined in th…
Theoretical analysis of the conductance histograms and structural properties of Ag, Pt and Ni nanocontacts
F. Pauly, M. Dreher, J. K. Viljas +3
Conductance histograms are a valuable tool to study the intrinsic conduction properties of metallic atomic-sized contacts. These histograms show a peak structure, which is characte…
Electron-vibration interaction in transport through atomic gold wires
J. K. Viljas, J. C. Cuevas, F. Pauly +1
We calculate the effect of electron-vibration coupling on conduction through atomic gold wires, which was measured in the experiments of Agraït et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 216803…
Conduction Channels of One-Atom Zinc Contacts
M. Häfner, P. Konrad, F. Pauly +2
We have determined the transmission coefficients of atomic-sized Zn contacts using a new type of breakjunction which contains a whisker as a central bridge. We find that in the las…
