Transport properties of single atoms
Alexei Bagrets, Nikos Papanikolaou, Ingrid Mertig
We present a systematic study of the ballistic electron conductance through sp and 3d transition metal atoms attached to copper and palladium crystalline electrodes. We employ the…

Magnetoresistance of atomic-sized contacts: an ab-initio study
Alexei Bagrets, Nikos Papanikolaou, Ingrid Mertig
The magnetoresistance (MR) effect in metallic atomic-sized contacts is studied theoretically by means of first-principle electronic structure calculations. We consider three-atom c…

Ab initio description of tunnel junctions
Peter Zahn, Ingrid Mertig
Based on spin-density functional theory we calculate the electronic structure of a tunnel junction consisting of two magnetic Fe layers separated by an insulating vacuum barrier se…
