Break-junction measurements are typically aimed at characterizing electronic properties of
single molecules bound between two metal electrodes. Although these measurements have …

We report measurements of the shot noise on single-molecule Au–1, 4-benzenedithiol–Au
junctions, fabricated with the mechanically controllable break junction (MCBJ) technique at …

The current I through nickelocene molecules and its noise are measured with a low-
temperature scanning tunneling microscope on a Cu (100) substrate. Density functional …

Through a combination of atomistic spin-lattice dynamics simulations and relativistic ab initio

We studied the spin-polarized electron transport in oxygen-incorporated Au, Cu, and Fe
single-atom chains (SACs) by first-principles calculations. We first investigated the …

We address the shot noise in the tunneling current through a local spin, pertaining to recent
experiments on magnetic adatoms and single molecular magnets. We show that both …

We report measurements of the shot noise of atomic contacts of the ferromagnets cobalt and
gadolinium and the strong paramagnets palladium, platinum, and iridium. The contacts are …

The low conductance of nickel atomic junctions in the hydrogen environment is studied
using the nonequilibrium Green's function theory combined with first-principles calculations …
