An Environment-dependent Semi-Empirical Tight Binding Model Suitable for Electron Transport in Bulk Metals, Metal Alloys, Metallic Interfaces and Metallic Nanostructures II - Effect of Confinement and Homogeneous Strain on Cu Conductance
Ganesh Hegde, Michael Povolotskyi, Tillmann Kubis +2
The Semi-Empirical TB model developed in part I is applied to metal transport problems of current relevance in part II. A systematic study of the effect of quantum confinement, tra…
Intrinsic Bistability In Quantum Point Contacts with in-plane Side Gates
J. Charles, M. Cahay, R. S. Newrock
We study the onset of intrinsic bistability and accompanying hysteresis in a single quantum point contact (QPC) with in-plane side gates in the presence of lateral spin-orbit coupl…
Tunable All Electric Spin Polarizer
J. Charles, N. Bhandari, J. Wan +2
We propose a new device to create a tunable all-electric spin polarizer: a quantum point contact (QPC) with four gates -- two in-plane side gates in series. The first pair of gates…
