Modern nanotechnology allows one to scale down various important devices (sensors,
chips, fibers, etc.) and thus opens up new horizons for their applications. The efficiency of …

We calculate that significant quantum interference effects can be observed in elastic electron
transport through acyclic molecules. Interference features are evident in the transmission …

We study quantum transport through two-terminal nanoscale devices in contact with two
particle reservoirs at different temperatures and chemical potentials. We discuss the general …

As stated in the classic Kirchhoff's circuit laws, the total conductance of two parallel channels
in an electronic circuit is the sum of the individual conductance. However, in molecular …

Quantum interference dramatically modulates electron transport that provides exciting
prospects for molecular electronics. We develop a holistic picture of quantum interference …

Structural defects are inherent in solids at a finite temperature, because they diminish free
energies by growing entropy. The arrangement of these defects may display long-range …

We explain the Fano peak (an asymmetric resonance peak) as an interference effect
involving resonant states. We reveal that there are three types of Fano asymmetry according …

The classic analogue of the Fano resonance is considered for the essentially nonlinear
systems. The closed expressions for the oscillation amplitudes turn out to be universal in …

The possibility of controlling Fano lineshapes in the electronic transmission is addressed in
terms of a simple discrete model within a tight binding framework, in which a finite sized …

The directly-linked iron–diporphyrin complexes are appealing candidates and fundamental
precursors for an extended metalloporphyrin array that can potentially mimic the biological …
