Electronic structure and transport properties of atomic NiO spinvalves
David Jacob, J. Fernández-Rossier, J. J. Palacios
Ab-initio quantum transport calculations show that short NiO chains suspended in Ni nanocontacts present a very strong spin-polarization of the conductance. The generalized gradien…
Emergence of half-metallicity in suspended NiO chains
David Jacob, J. Fernández-Rossier, J. J. Palacios
Contrary to the antiferromagnetic and insulating character of bulk NiO, one-dimensional chains of this material can become half-metallic due to the lower coordination of their atom…
First-principles phase-coherent transport in metallic nanotubes with realistic contacts
J. J. Palacios, A. J. Perez-Jimenez, E. Louis +2
We present first-principles calculations of phase coherent electron transport in a carbon nanotube (CNT) with realistic contacts. We focus on the zero-bias response of open metalli…
