Quantized Thermal Conductance of Dielectric Quantum Wires
Luis G. C. Rego,George Kirczenow +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Landauer formulation of transport theory to predict that dielectric quantum wires should exhibit quantized thermal conductance at low temperatures in a ballistic phonon regime.

Journal ArticleDOI
Ballistic spin-polarized transport and Rashba spin precession in semiconductor nanowires
TL;DR: In this article, numerical calculations of the ballistic spin-transport properties of quasi-one-dimensional wires in the presence of the spin-orbit (Rashba) interaction are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical study of electrical conduction through a molecule connected to metallic nanocontacts
Eldon Emberly,George Kirczenow +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical study of electron transport through a molecule connected to two metallic nanocontacts is presented, where the surface chemistry is modeled by representing the tips of the Au contacts as two atomic clusters and treating the molecule-cluster complex as a single entity in an extended Huckel tight-binding scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Smallest Molecular Switch
Eldon Emberly,George Kirczenow +1 more
TL;DR: Notably, despite their apparent simplicity, these Au/BDT/Au nanowires are shown to be electrically bistable switches, the smallest two-terminal molecular switches to date.
