Unidirectional rotary nanomotors powered by an electrochemical potential gradient
A. Yu. Smirnov, S. Savel'ev, L. G. Mourokh +1
We examine the dynamics of biological nanomotors within a simple model of a rotor having three ion-binding sites. It is shown that in the presence of an external dc electric field…
Forster mechanism of electron-driven proton pump
Anatoly Yu. Smirnov, Lev G. Mourokh, Franco Nori
We examine a simple model of proton pumping through the inner membrane of mitochondria in the living cell. We demonstrate that the pumping process can be described using approaches…
Modelling chemical reactions using semiconductor quantum dots
A. Yu. Smirnov, S. Savel'ev, L. G. Mourokh +1
We propose using semiconductor quantum dots for a simulation of chemical reactions as electrons are redistributed among such artificial atoms. We show that it is possible to achiev…
Enhancing the conductance of a two-electron nanomechanical oscillator
J. R. Johansson, L. G. Mourokh, A. Yu. Smirnov +1
We consider electron transport through a mobile island (i.e., a nanomechanical oscillator) which can accommodate one or two excess electrons and show that, in contrast to immobile…
