Abstract Space is a stupendous and elephantine field that needs immense exploration and
the advancements in the field of spacecraft materials are the top-notch field of today's …

The control of electrons at the level of the elementary charge e was demonstrated
experimentally already in the 1980s. Ever since, the production of an electrical current ef, or …

We present a quantum theory of the shuttle instability in electronic transport through a
nanostructure with a mechanical degree of freedom. A phase space formulation in terms of …

The recent experimental conductance measurements taken on magnetic impurities on
metallic surfaces, using scanning tunneling microscopy technique and suggesting …

Abstract Properties of nanocomposite materials are affected by a coupling between
mechanical deformations of the materials and electronic charge transport. In one of the …

We study the charge transfer in a small grain oscillating between two leads. Coulomb
blockade restricts the charge fluctuations in such a way that only zero or one additional …

We report low-temperature transport measurements through molecules of Gd
metallofullerenes between superconducting suspended electrodes. The presence and …

We introduce a Cooper pair “sluice” for the implementation of a frequency-locked current
source. The device consists of two mesoscopic SQUIDs and of a single superconducting …

In this work we extend our earlier analysis of the novel Josephson effect in triplet
superconductor-ferromagnet-triplet superconductor (TFT) junctions [Kastening, Phys. Rev …

Nanomechanical shuttles transferring electrons from one electrode to another, in groups or
individually, offer a solution to the problem of controlled charge transport. We report the …
