Localized basis sets for unbound electrons in nanoelectronics
D. Soriano, D. Jacob, J. J. Palacios
It is shown how unbound electron wave functions can be expanded in a suitably chosen localized basis sets for any desired range of energies. In particular, we focus on the use of g…
Anisotropic magnetoresistance in nanocontacts
D. Jacob, J. Fernandez-Rossier, J. J. Palacios
We present ab initio calculations of the evolution of anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in Ni nanocontacts from the ballistic to the tunnel regime. We find an extraordinary enhan…
Charge-localization and isospin-blockade in vertical double quantum dots
David Jacob, Bernhard Wunsch, Daniela Pfannkuche
Charge localization seems unlikely to occur in two vertically coupled symmetric quantum dots even if a small bias voltage breaks the exact isospin-symmetry of the system. However f…
