Low-temperature spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy is employed to study spin
transport across single cobalt-phthalocyanine molecules adsorbed on well-characterized …

We report ab initio calculations of spin-dependent transport in single atomic carbon chains
bridging two zigzag graphene nanoribbon electrodes. Our calculations show that carbon …

The miniaturization of electronic devices is important for the development of high-density
and function-integrated information devices. Atomic-point-contact (APC) structures refer to …

We review the published work on electric transport in metallic magnetic nanocontacts of
sizes reaching a single atom. Considering fabrication methods exempt from mechanical …

Electromigrated nanogaps have shown great promise for use in molecular scale electronics.
We have fabricated nanogaps on free-standing transparent SiN x membranes which permit …

When the dimensions of a metallic conductor are reduced so that they become comparable
to the de Broglie wavelengths of the conduction electrons, the absence of scattering results …

We study the spin-dependent electron transport through a junction consisting of a single
pyridine-linked (PDL) molecule sandwiched between two zigzag-edged graphene …

The magnetoresistance of Ni/single benzene-1, 4-dithiol/Ni molecular junctions was
measured by a mechanically controllable break junction method under a magnetic field. The …

The magnetic structure and magnetic transport properties of hydrogen-passivated sawtooth
zigzag-edge graphene nanoribbons (STGNRs) are investigated theoretically. It is found that …
