Adsorption-Induced Solvent-Based Electrostatic Gating of Charge Transport through Molecular Junctions
Michele Kotiuga, Pierre Darancet, Carlos R. Arroyo +2
Recent experiments have shown that transport properties of molecular-scale devices can be reversibly altered by the surrounding solvent. Here, we use a combination of first-princip…
Current-induced nanogap formation and graphitization in boron-doped diamond films
V. Seshan, C. R. Arroyo, A. Castellanos-Gomez +9
A high-current annealing technique is used to fabricate nanogaps and hybrid diamond/graphite structures in boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond films. Nanometer-sized gaps down to 1…
Carbon-fiber tips for scanning probe microscopes and molecular electronics experiments
Gabino Rubio-Bollinger, Andres Castellanos-Gomez, Stefan Bilan +4
We fabricate and characterize carbon-fiber tips for their use in combined scanning tunneling and force microscopy based on piezoelectric quartz tuning fork force sensors. An electr…
Calibration of piezoelectric positioning actuators using a reference voltage-to-displacement transducer based on quartz tuning forks
Andres Castellanos-Gomez, Carlos R. Arroyo, Nicolás Agraït +1
We use a piezoelectric quartz tuning fork to calibrate the displacement of ceramic piezoelectric scanners which are widely employed in scanning probe microscopy. We measure the sta…
Carbon tips as electrodes for single-molecule junctions
Andres Castellanos-Gomez, Stefan Bilan, Linda A. Zotti +4
We study electron transport through single-molecule junctions formed by an octanethiol molecule bonded with the thiol anchoring group to a gold electrode and the opposing methyl en…
Characterization of single-molecule pentanedithiol junctions by inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy and first-principles calculations
Carlos R. Arroyo, Thomas Frederiksen, Gabino Rubio-Bollinger +4
We study pentanedithiol molecular junctions formed by means of the break-junction technique with a scanning tunneling microscope at low temperatures. Using inelastic electron tunne…
Precision Measurement of the Weak Mixing Angle in Moller Scattering
SLAC E158 Collaboration, P. L. Anthony
We report on a precision measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in fixed target electron-electron (Moller) scattering: A_PV = -131 +/- 14 (stat.) +/- 10 (syst.) parts per bi…
