Electronic excitations of a single molecule contacted in a three-terminal configuration
Edgar A. Osorio, Kevin O'Neill, Maarten Wegewijs +4
Low-temperature three-terminal transport measurements through a thiol end-capped Pi -conjugated molecule have been carried out. Electronic excitations, including zero and finite-bi…
Self-breaking in planar few-atom Au constrictions for nm-spaced electrodes
K. O'Neill, E. A. Osorio, H. S. J. van der Zant
We present results on electromigrated Au nanojunctions broken near the conductance quantum S. At room temperature we find that wires, initially narrowed by an actively-cont…
In-Chain Tunneling Through Charge-Density Wave Nanoconstrictions and Break-Junctions
K. O'Neill, E. Slot, R. E. Thorne +1
We have fabricated longitudinal nanoconstrictions in the charge-density wave conductor (CDW) NbSe using a focused ion beam and using a mechanically controlled break-junction…
Measurement of the shear strength of a charge-density wave
K. O'Neill, K. Cicak, R. E. Thorne
We have explored the shear plasticity of charge density waves (CDWs) in niobium triselenide samples with cross-sections having a single micro-fabricated thickness step. Shear stres…
Crossover from 2-dimensional to 1-dimensional collective pinning in NbSe3
E. Slot, H. S. J. van der Zant, K. O'Neill +1
We have fabricated NbSe structures with widths comparable to the Fukuyama-Lee-Rice phase-coherence length. For samples already in the 2-dimensional pinning limit, we observe a…
