Mechanical, Electrical, and Magnetic Properties of Ni Nanocontacts
M. R. Calvo, M. J. Caturla, D. Jacob +2
The dynamic deformation upon stretching of Ni nanowires as those formed with mechanically controllable break junctions or with a scanning tunneling microscope is studied both exper…
Coherent transport in graphene nanoconstrictions
F. Muñoz-Rojas, D. Jacob, J. Fernández-Rossier +1
We study the effect of a structural nanoconstriction on the coherent transport properties of otherwise ideal zig-zag-edged infinitely long graphene ribbons. The electronic structur…
Transport in magnetically ordered Pt nanocontacts
J. Fernández-Rossier, D. Jacob, C. Untiedt +1
Pt nanocontacts, like those formed in mechanically controlled break junctions, are shown to develop spontaneous local magnetic order. Our density functional calculations predict th…
