Surface phonon induced rotational dissipation for nanoscale solid-state gears
Huang-Hsiang Lin, Alexander Croy, Rafael Gutierrez +1
Compared to nanoscale friction of translational motion, the mechanisms of rotational friction have received less attention. Such motion becomes an important issue for the miniaturi…
A Chirality-Based Quantum Leap
Clarice D. Aiello, Muneer Abbas, John M. Abendroth +41
Chiral degrees of freedom occur in matter and in electromagnetic fields and constitute an area of research that is experiencing renewed interest driven by recent observations of th…
Understanding the UV luminescence of zinc germanate: The role of native defects
Jaime Dolado, Ruth Martínez-Casado, Pedro Hidalgo +6
Achieving efficient and stable ultraviolet emission is a challenging goal in optoelectronic devices. Herein, we investigate the UV luminescence of zinc germanate Zn2GeO4 microwires…
Mechanical transmission of rotation for molecule gears and solid-state gears
Huang-Hsiang Lin, Jonathan Heinze, Alexander Croy +2
The miniaturization of gears towards the nanoscale is a formidable task posing a variety of challenges to current fabrication technologies. In context, the understanding, via compu…
Effective Hamiltonian model for helically constrained quantum systems within adiabatic perturbation theory: application to the Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) Effect
Matthias Geyer, Rafael Gutierrez, Gianaurelio Cuniberti
The chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect has been confirmed experimentally for a large class of organic molecules. Adequately modeling the effect remains a challenging…
