The complex admittance of metal/oxide/pentacene thin film junctions is investigated under ambient conditions. At low frequencies, a contribution attributed to proton diffusion through the oxide is seen. This diffusion is shown to be anomalous and is believed to be also at the origin of the bias stress effect observed in organic field effect transistors. At higher frequencies, two dipolar contributions are evidenced, attributed to defects located one at the organic/oxide interface or within the organic, and the other in the bulk of the oxide. These two dipolar responses show different dynamic properties that manifest themselves in the admittance in the form of a Debye contribution for the defects located in the oxide, and of a Cole-Cole contribution for the defects related to the organic.

The ideal diode is a theoretical concept that completely conducts the electric current under forward bias without any loss and that behaves like a perfect insulator under reverse bias. However, real diodes have a junction barrier that electrons have to overcome and thus they have a threshold voltage $V_T$, which must be supplied to the diode to turn it on. This threshold voltage gives rise to power dissipation in the form of heat and hence is an undesirable feature. In this work, based on half-metallic magnets and spin-gapless semiconductors we propose a diode concept that does not have a junction barrier and the operation principle of which relies on the spin-dependent transport properties of the HMM and SGS materials. We show that the HMM and SGS materials form an Ohmic contact under any finite forward bias, while for a reverse bias the current is blocked due to spin-dependent filtering of the electrons. Thus, the HMM-SGS junctions act as a diode with zero threshold voltage $V_T$, and linear $I-V$ characteristics as well as an infinite on:off ratio at zero temperature. However, at finite temperatures, non-spin-flip thermally excited high-energy electrons as well as low-energy spin-flip excitations can give rise to a leakage current and thus reduce the on:off ratio under a reverse bias. Furthermore, a zero threshold voltage allows one to detect extremely weak signals and due to the Ohmic HMM-SGS contact, the proposed diode has a much higher current drive capability and low resistance, which is advantageous compared to conventional semiconductor diodes. We employ the NEGF method combined with DFT to demonstrate the linear $I-V$ characteristics of the proposed diode based on two-dimensional half-metallic Fe/MoS$_2$ and spin-gapless semiconducting VS$_2$ planar heterojunctions.

Created surfaces or meta surfaces, composed of appropriately shaped sub-wavelength structures, namely, meta-atoms, control light at wavelength scales. Historically, meta surfaces have used radiating metallic resonators as wavelength inclusions. Howev er, while resonant optical meta surfaces made from metal have been sub-wavelength in the propagation direction, they are too loss for many applications.
We calculate the Overhauser frequency shifts in semiconductor nanostructures resulting from the hyperfine interaction between nonequilibrium electronic spins and nuclear spins. The frequency shifts depend on the electronic local density of states and spin polarization as well as the electronic and nuclear spin relaxation mechanisms. Unlike previous calculations, our method accounts for the electron confinement in low dimensional semiconductor nanostructures, resulting in both nuclear spin polarizations and Overhauser shifts that are strongly dependent on position. Our results explain previously puzzling measurements of Overhauser shifts in an Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As parabolic quantum well by showing the connection between the electron spin lifetime and the frequency shifts.
The methodology used to obtain the values of the spin-orbit couplings from the spin expectation values from perturbation theory was incorrect. As a result Figs. 2 and 3 are incorrect.
We develop a proper nonempirical spin-density formalism for the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) method. We show that this generalization, termed svdW-DF, is firmly rooted in the single-particle nature of exchange and we test it on a range o f spin systems. We investigate in detail the role of spin in the nonlocal-correlation driven adsorption of H$_2$ and CO$_2$ in the linear magnets Mn-MOF74, Fe-MOF74, Co-MOF74, and Ni-MOF74. In all cases, we find that spin plays a significant role during the adsorption process despite the general weakness of the molecular-magnetic responses. The case of CO$_2$ adsorption in Ni-MOF74 is particularly interesting, as the inclusion of spin effects results in an increased attraction, opposite to what the diamagnetic nature of CO$_2$ would suggest. We explain this counter-intuitive result, tracking the behavior to a coincidental hybridization of the O $p$ states with the Ni $d$ states in the down-spin channel. More generally, by providing insight on nonlocal correlation in concert with spin effects, our nonempirical svdW-DF method opens the door for a deeper understanding of weak nonlocal magnetic interactions.
