Multiterminal single-molecule--graphene-nanoribbon thermoelectric devices with gate-voltage tunable figure of merit ZT
Kamal K. Saha, Troels Markussen, Kristian S. Thygesen +1
We study thermoelectric devices where a single 18-annulene molecule is connected to metallic zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNR) via highly transparent contacts that allow for injec…
Spin Currents in Semiconductor Nanostructures: A Nonequilibrium Green-Function Approach
Branislav K. Nikolic, Liviu P. Zarbo, Satofumi Souma
This chapter of "The Oxford Handbook of Nanoscience and Technology: Frontiers and Advances" reviews nonequilibrium Green function (NEGF) approach to modeling spin current generatio…
Spin and charge pumping in magnetic tunnel junctions with precessing magnetization: A nonequilibrium Green function approach
Son-Hsien Chen, Ching-Ray Chang, John Q. Xiao +1
We study spin and charge currents pumped by precessing magnetization of a single ferromagnetic layer within F|I|N or F|I|F (F-ferromagnet; I-insulator; N-normal-metal) multilayers…
I-V curve signatures of nonequilibrium-driven band gap collapse in magnetically ordered zigzag graphene nanoribbon two-terminal devices
Denis A. Areshkin, Branislav K. Nikolic
Motivated by the very recent fabrication of sub-10-nm-wide semiconducting graphene nanoribbons [X. Li et al., Science 319, 1229 (2008)], whose band gaps extracted from transport me…
What can we learn about the dynamics of transported spins by measuring shot noise in spin-orbit-coupled nanostructures?
Branislav K. Nikolic, Ralitsa L. Dragomirova
We review recent studies of the shot noise of spin-polarized charge currents and pure spin currents in multiterminal semiconductor nanostructures, while focusing on the effects bro…
Shot Noise Probing of Magnetic Ordering in Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons
Ralitsa L. Dragomirova, Denis A. Areshkin, Branislav K. Nikolic
The nonequilibrium time-dependent fluctuations of charge current have recently emerged as a sensitive experimental tool to probe ballistic transport through evanescent wave functio…
