Cluster-based density-functional approach to quantum transport through molecular and atomic contacts
F. Pauly, J. K. Viljas, U. Huniar +5
We present a cluster-based density-functional approach to model charge transport through molecular and atomic contacts. The electronic structure of the contacts is determined in th…
Dissipation in circuit quantum electrodynamics: lasing and cooling of a low-frequency oscillator
Julian Hauss, Arkady Fedorov, Stephan André +6
Superconducting qubits coupled to electric or nanomechanical resonators display effects previously studied in quantum electrodynamics (QED) and extensions thereof. Here we study a…
Kondo effect in quantum dots coupled to ferromagnetic leads with noncollinear magnetizations: effects due to electron-phonon coupling
R. Swirkowicz, M. Wilczynski, J. Barnas
Spin-polarized transport through a quantum dot strongly coupled to ferromagnetic electrodes with non-collinear magnetic moments is analyzed theoretically in terms of the non-equili…
Generation and detection of a spin entanglement in nonequilibrium quantum dots
Stefan Legel, Jürgen König, Gerd Schön
Spin entanglement between two spatially separated electrons can be generated in nonequilibrium interacting quantum dots, coherently coupled to a common lead. In this system entangl…
Tilt-angle landscapes and temperature dependence of the conductance in biphenyl-dithiol single-molecule junctions
F. Pauly, J. K. Viljas, J. C. Cuevas +1
Using a density-functional-based transport method we study the conduction properties of several biphenyl-derived dithiol (BPDDT) molecules wired to gold electrodes. The BPDDT molec…
Ab initio study of charge transport through single oxygen molecules in atomic aluminum contacts
S. Wohlthat, F. Pauly, J. K. Viljas +2
We present ab initio calculations of transport properties of atomic-sized aluminum contacts in the presence of oxygen. The experimental situation is modeled by considering a single…
