Electron Standing Wave Formation in Atomic Wires
Using the Landauer formulation of transport theory and tight binding models of the electronic structure, we study electron transport through atomic wires that form 1D constrictions between pairs of metallic nano-contacts. Our results are interpreted in terms of electron standing waves formed in the atomic wires due to interference of electron waves reflected at the ends of the atomic constricti...
متن کاملElectron Quantization in Broken Atomic Wires.
We demonstrate using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy the electron quantization within metallic Au atomic wires self-assembled on a Si(111) surface and segmented by adatom impurities. The local electronic states of wire segments with a length up to 10 nm are investigated as terminated by two neighboring Si adatoms. One-dimensional (1D) quantum well states are well resolved by thei...
متن کاملElectron transport and phonons in atomic wires
A scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) at low temperatures is used to fabricate and measure the electronic transport properties of atomic wires up to 7 atoms in length. We observe that the conductance of these wires, which at zero bias voltage is 2e=h, as corresponds to ballistic electron transport through a single conductance quantum channel, drops sharply at a well-defined voltage due to the ...
متن کاملElectron-vibration interaction in transport through atomic gold wires
We calculate the effect of electron-vibration coupling on conduction through atomic gold wires, which was measured in the experiments of Agraït et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 216803 2002 . The vibrational modes, the coupling constants, and the inelastic transport are all calculated using a tight-binding parametrization and the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism. The electron-vibration coupl...
متن کاملElectron correlations in multiconfiguration atomic wave functions.
A two-electron spin-independent operator is defined to represent the spatial correlation of the electrons in a general atom or ion. The spherical-tensor expansion of this operator provides a systematic method for evaluating the two-electron correlation function implied by a Hartree-Fock N-electron wave function including arbitrary configuration mixing. The method is illustrated by examples invo...
