Nanoscale Characterization of Metal/Semiconductor Nanocontacts
Ballistic Electron Emission Microscopy (BEEM) and finite-element electrostatic modeling were used to quantify how “small-size” effects modify the energy barrier at metal/semiconductor nanostructure nanocontacts, formed by making Schottky contacts to cleaved edges of GaAs quantum wells (QWs). The Schottky barrier height over the QWs was found to systematically increase with decreasing QW width, ...
متن کاملUniversal scaling of ballistic magnetoresistance in magnetic nanocontacts.
We show that ballistic magnetoresistance exhibits universal scaling in atomic or nanometer scale contacts. Plotting the data as conductance, we find that, if the maximum magnetoconductance is normalized to unity and the conductance is scaled with the conductivity of the bulk material, the data fall in a narrow region, independent of the nanocontact materials, for our four data sets and four fro...
متن کاملKondo effect and conductance of nanocontacts with magnetic impurities.
We study the impact of dynamical correlations on the electronic structure and coherent transport properties of Cu nanocontacts hosting a single magnetic impurity (Ni, Co, Fe) in the contact region. The strong dynamical correlations of the impurity 3d electrons are fully taken into account by combining density-functional calculations with a dynamical treatment of the impurity 3d shell in the one...
متن کاملUniversal scaling of magnetoconductance in magnetic nanocontacts „invited..
We present results of half-metallic ferromagnets formed by atomic nanocontact of CrO2 – CrO2 and CrO2 – Ni that show as much as 400% magnetoconductance. Analysis of the magnetoconductance versus conductance data for all materials known to exhibit so-called ballistic magnetoresistance strongly suggests that the magnetoconductance of nanocontacts follows universal scaling. If the maximum magnetoc...
متن کاملTowards a table-top microscope for nanoscale magnetic imaging using picosecond thermal gradients
Research advancement in magnetoelectronics is challenged by the lack of a table-top magnetic measurement technique with the simultaneous temporal and spatial resolution necessary for characterizing magnetization dynamics in devices of interest, such as magnetic memory and spin torque oscillators. Although magneto-optical microscopy provides superb temporal resolution, its spatial resolution is ...
