Resonance transmission of the electron wave through the nanofilms containing a magnetic quantum well

Sahakyan A.S., Movsesyan R.M., Kocharian A.N., California State University Los Angeles, US

The transmission of an electron wave through so called a magnetic resonance diode is considered in semiconductor nanofilms consisting of two nonmagnetic barriers separated by a quantum (magnetic) well subjected to an external magnetic field. [...]

Electronic Transport in Molecular Devices from First Principles

Di Ventra M., Lang N.D., Pantelides S.T., Virginia Tech, US

We present an overview of recent work by the authors in first-principles calculations of electronic transport in molecules for which experimental results are available. We find that the shape of the current-voltage characteristics is mostly [...]
