Josephson Tunneling at the Atomic Scale : The Josephson Effect as a Local Probe

The aim of this thesis is to characterize the properties of a Josephson junction in a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) at millikelvin temperatures and to implement Josephson STM (JSTM) as a versatile probe at the atomic scale. To this end we investigate ...

Photophysics and Photochemistry of a DNA–Protein Cross-Linking Model: A Synergistic Approach Combining Experiments and Theory

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Sara Bonella, Mohammadhassan Valadan

The photophysical and photochemical properties of 5-benzyluracil and 5,6-benzyluracil, the latter produced by photocyclization of the former through irradiation with femtosecond UV laser pulses, are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The a ...

Probing Absolute Spin Polarization at the Nanoscale

Klaus Kern, Markus Etzkorn, Maximilian Assig, Matthias Alexander Eltschka

Probing absolute values of spin polarization at the nanoscale offers insight into the fundamental mechanisms of spin-dependent transport. Employing the Zeeman splitting in superconducting tips (Meservey-Tedrow-Fulde effect), we introduce a novel spin-polar ...

An innovative band-to-band tunneling analytical model and implications in compact modeling of tunneling-based devices

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Luca De Michielis, Nilay Dagtekin, Livio Lattanzio, Luca Selmi, Arnab Biswas, Heike Riel

In this paper, an analytical band-to-band tunneling model is proposed, validated by means of drift-diffusion simulation and comparison with experimental data, implemented in Verilog-A, and finally proven with SPICE simulator through simulation of circuits ...

Gold nanoparticles mediated label-free capacitance detection of cardiac troponin I

Sandro Carrara, Priyanka Sharma

It has been already proved that electrical capacitance increases at the electrode surface due to binding of highly charged antigens on the biointerface. In this paper, this capacitance change was used to demonstrate a novel detection for cardiac troponin I ...

Tunneling and percolation transport regimes in segregated composites

Peter Ryser, Claudio Grimaldi, Biagio Nigro

We consider the problem of electron transport in segregated conductor-insulator composites in which the conducting particles are connected to all others via tunneling conductances, thus forming a global tunneling-connected resistor network. Segregation is ...
