Giant quantum freezing of nanojunctions mediated by the environments.

Journal Article Glatz, A ; Chtchelkatchev, N M ; Beloborodov, I S ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We investigate the quantum heat exchange between a nanojunction and a many-body or electromagnetic environment far from equilibrium. It is shown that the two-temperature energy emission-absorption mechanism gives rise to a giant heat flow between the junction and the environment. We obtain analytical results for the heat flow in an idealized high-impedance environment, perform numerical calculations for the general case of interacting electrons, and discuss giant freezing and heating effects in the junction under typical experimental conditions.

Enhanced current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistance effect in half-metallic NiMnSb based nanojunctions with multiple Ag spacers

Journal Article Wen, Zhenchao ; Yamamoto, Tatsuya ; Kubota, Takahide ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistance (CPP-GMR) heterostructure devices using half-metallic NiMnSb Heusler alloy electrodes with single, dual, and triple Ag spacers were fabricated. The NiMnSb alloy films and Ag spacers show (001) epitaxial growth in all CPP-GMR multilayer structures. The dual-spacer CPP-GMR nanojunction exhibited an enhanced CPP-GMR ratio of 11% (a change in the resistance-area product, ΔRA, of 3.9 mΩ μm{sup 2}) at room temperature, which is approximately twice (thrice) of 6% (1.3 mΩ μm{sup 2}) in the single-spacer device. The enhancement of the CPP-GMR effects in the dual-spacer devices could be attributed to improved interfacial spin asymmetry. Moreover, it was observedmore »« less

State hybridization shapes the photocurrent in triple quantum dot nanojunctions

Journal Article Beltako, Katawoura ; Cavassilas, Nicolas ; Michelini, Fabienne - Applied Physics Letters

We investigated a prototype of a quantum dot based photodetector made of a dot absorber interconnected with two lateral dot filters in contact with semiconducting leads. Using the nonequilibrium Green's function technique, we found that there are two opposite evolutions of the photocurrent in the vicinity of the tunnel resonance for such a kind of nanodevice. This evolution depends on where the strongest hybridization of states happens, and hence still reveals a quantum effect. If the filter states hybridize more with the absorber states than the ones of the leads, the photocurrent shows a maximum at the tunnel resonance, whilemore » it is minimized in the opposite case.« less

Classical vs. quantum plasmon-induced molecular transformations at metallic nanojunctions

Journal Article Mantilla, Alexander B. C. ; Wang, Chih-Feng ; Krayev, Andrey ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Chemical transformations near plasmonic metals have attracted increasing attention in the past few years. Specifically, reactions occurring within plasmonic nanojunctions that can be detected via surface and tip-enhanced Raman (SER and TER) scattering were the focus of numerous reports. In this context, even though the transition between localized and nonlocal (quantum) plasmons at nanojunctions is documented, its implications on plasmonic chemistry remain poorly understood. We explore the latter through AFM-TER-current measurements. We use two molecules: i) 4-mercaptobenzonitrile (MBN) that reports on the (non)local fields and ii) 4-nitrothiophenol (NTP) that features defined signatures of its neutral/anionic forms and dimer product, 4,4′-dimercaptoazobenzenemore »« less
