Ballistic conductance of Ni nanowire with a magnetization reversal
A. Smogunov, A. Dal Corso, E. Tosatti
The approach proposed by Choi and Ihm for calculating the ballistic conductance of open quantum systems is generalized to deal with magnetic transition metals. The method has been…
Electron-phonon interaction at the Be(0001) surface
A. Eiguren, S. de Gironcoli, E. V. Chulkov +2
We present a first principle study of the electron-phonon (e-p) interaction at the Be(0001) surface. The real and imaginary part of the e-p self energy are calculated for the surfa…
Theoretical Fluctuations of Conductance in Stretched Monatomic Nanowire
F. Picaud, V. Pouthier, C. Girardet +1
Recent experiments showed that the last, single channel conductance step in monatomic gold contacts exhibits significant fluctuations as a function of stretching. From simulations…
Magnetism in Atomic-Sized Palladium Contacts and Nanowires
A. Delin, E. Tosatti, R. A. Weht
We have investigated Pd nanowires theoretically, and found that, unlike either metallic or free atomic Pd, they exhibit Hund's rule magnetism. In long, monoatomic wires, we find a…
Jahn-Teller Spectral Fingerprint in Molecular Photoemission: C60
Nicola Manini, Paolo Gattari, Erio Tosatti
The h_u hole spectral intensity for C60 -> C60+ molecular photoemission is calculated at finite temperature by a parameter-free Lanczos diagonalization of the electron-vibration Ha…
Magnetic phenomena in 5d transition metal nanowires
Anna Delin, Erio Tosatti
We have carried out fully relativistic full-potential, spin-polarized, all-electron density-functional calculations for straight, monatomic nanowires of the 5d transition and noble…
