  1. 1. Time-resolved detection of temporally correlated, single-charge tunnelling

    Författare :Jonas Bylander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Josephson junctions; time-correlated tunnelling; radio-frequency single-electron transistor; current standard; charge solitons; SET oscillations; Coulomb blockade; metrology; SET; tunnel junction array;

    Sammanfattning : We report real-time detection of the single charges that constitute a small electrical current, as they flow through a nano-electronic device. This represents a direct demonstration of charge discreteness in an electrical current. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Current measurement by real-time counting of single charges

    Författare :Jonas Bylander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; array of tunnel junctions; Coulomb blockade; radio frequency single electron transistor; SET oscillations; time correlated tunnelling; metrology; current standard; SET; charge solitons;

    Sammanfattning : The first real-time observation of time correlated single-electron tunnelling is reported in this thesis. This is a direct detection of charge discreteness in an electrical current.When a current, I, flows through a chain of metallic islands, connected by small tunnel junctions, a lattice of charges is formed due to the Coulomb repulsion.

  4. 3. Nanomechanical Phenomena in Low-Dimensional Structures

    Författare :Anton Vikström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; superconductivity; acoustic sensors; heat flow; NEMS; surface acoustic waves; solitons; viscoelasticity; electronic edge states;

    Sammanfattning : This is a compilation thesis which investigates various mechanical phenomena in different low-dimensional nanoscale systems. In the first part, we consider a purely mechanical phenomenon: the sensitivity of the dispersion of a Love-type surface acoustic wave (SAW) to geometry and material parameters. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Theoretical Studies on Electronic Structure, Spectra and Conductivity of Pristine and Alkali Doped Polyacetylene

    Författare :Lucía Mercedes Rodrigues Monge; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; theoretical calculations; electron transfer; conductivity; polyacetylene; alkali metal; ab-initio methods; charge transport; semiempirical methods; doping;

    Sammanfattning : The present thesis is a theoretical investigation of the electronic properties of linear polyenes to get an insight into conductive phenomena in pristine and doped polyacetylene. Conductivity in polyacetylene is a complex phenomena and cannot be treated within simple band models. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Stability and Mobility of Localized and Extended Excitations in Nonlinear Schrödinger Models

    Författare :Michael Öster; Magnus Johansson; Sergej Flach; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Non-linear dynamics; chaos; Icke-linjär dynamik; kaos;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is mainly concerned with the properties of some discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations. These naturally arise in many different physical contexts as the limiting form of general dynamical lattice equations that incorporate nonlinearity and coupling. LÄS MER
