Graphene nano-origami using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
Kim Akius, Jan van Ruitenbeek
Graphene nanopatterning on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) has previously been shown using both atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) base…
Influence of a single defect on the conductance of a tunnel point contact between a normal metal and a superconductor
Ye. S. Avotina, Yu. A. Kolesnichenko, J. M. van Ruitenbeek
We have investigated theoretically the conductance of a Normal-Superconductor point-contact in the tunnel limit and analyzed the quantum interference effects originating from the s…
Highly conductive molecular junctions based on direct binding of benzene to platinum electrodes
M. Kiguchi, O. Tal, S. Wohlthat +5
Highly conductive molecular junctions were formed by direct binding of benzene molecules between two Pt electrodes. Measurements of conductance, isotopic shift in inelastic spectro…
Lithographic mechanical break junctions for single-molecule measurements in vacuum: possibilities and limitations
C. A. Martin, D. Ding, H. S. J. van der Zant +1
We have investigated electrical transport through the molecular model systems benzenedithiol, benzenediamine, hexanedithiol and hexanediamine. Conductance histograms under differen…
The signature of subsurface Kondo impurities in the local tunnel current
Ye. S. Avotina, Yu. A. Kolesnichenko, J. M. van Ruitenbeek
The conductance of a tunnel point-contact in an STM-like geometry having a single defect placed below the surface is investigated theoretically. The effect of multiple electron sca…
Conductance of a tunnel point-contact of noble metals in the presence of a single defect
Ye. S. Avotina, Yu. A. Kolesnichenko, S. B. Roobol +1
In paper [1] (Avotina et al. Phys. Rev. B,74, 085411 (2006)) the effect of Fermi surface anisotropy to the conductance of a tunnel point contact, in the vicinity of which a single…
