This mini review focuses on conductance measurements through molecular junctions containing few tens of molecules, which are fabricated along two approaches: (i) conducting atomic force microscope contacting a self-assembled monolayers on metal surfa ce, and (ii) tiny molecular junctions made of metal nanodot (diameter < 10 nm), covered by fewer than 100 molecules and contacted by a conducting atomic force microscope. In particular, this latter approach has allowed to obtain new results or to revisit previous ones, which are reviewed here: (i) how the electron transport properties of molecular junctions are modified by mechanical constraint, (ii) the role of intermolecular interactions on the shape of conductance histograms of molecular junctions, and (iii) the demonstration that a molecular diode can operate in the microwave regime up to 18 GHz.

An ultra-broadband THz emitter covering a wide range of frequencies from 0.1 to 10 THz is highly desired for spectroscopy applications. So far, spintronic THz emitters have been proven as one class of efficient THz sources with a broadband spectrum w hile the performance in the lower frequency range (0.1 to 0.5 THz) limits its applications. In this work, we demonstrate a novel concept of a current-enhanced broad spectrum from spintronic THz emitters combined with semiconductor materials. We observe a 2-3 order enhancement of the THz signals in a lower THz frequency range (0.1 to 0.5 THz), in addition to a comparable performance at higher frequencies from this hybrid emitter. With a bias current, there is a photoconduction contribution from semiconductor materials, which can be constructively interfered with the THz signals generated from the magnetic heterostructures driven by the inverse spin Hall effect. Our findings push forward the utilization of metallic heterostructures-based THz emitters on the ultra-broadband THz emission spectroscopy.
Dipolar excitons offer a rich playground for both design of novel optoelectronic devices and fundamental many-body physics. Wide GaN/(AlGa)N quantum wells host a new and promising realization of dipolar excitons. We demonstrate the in-plane confineme nt and cooling of these excitons, when trapped in the electrostatic potential created by semitransparent electrodes of various shapes deposited on the sample surface. This result is a prerequisite for the electrical control of the exciton densities and fluxes, as well for studies of the complex phase diagram of these dipolar bosons at low temperature.
It is very common in the literature to write down a Markovian quantum master equation in Lindblad form to describe a system with multiple degrees of freedom and weakly connected to multiple thermal baths which can, in general, be at different tempera tures and chemical potentials. However, the microscopically derived quantum master equation up to leading order in system-bath coupling is of the so-called Redfield form which is known to not preserve complete positivity in most cases. We analytically show that, in such cases, enforcing complete positivity by imposing any Lindblad form, via any further approximation, necessarily leads to either violation of thermalization, or inaccurate coherences in the energy eigenbasis which then cause a violation of local conservation laws in the non-equilibrium steady state (NESS). In other words, a weak system-bath coupling quantum master equation that is completely positive, shows thermalization and preserves local conservation laws in NESS is fundamentally impossible in generic situations. On the other hand, the Redfield equation, although generically not completely positive, shows thermalization, always preserves local conservation laws and gives correct coherences to leading order. We exemplify our analytical results numerically in an interacting open quantum spin system.
We discuss thermal rectification and thermoelectric energy conversion from the perspective of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and dynamical systems theory. After preliminary considerations on the dynamical foundations of the phenomenological Fou rier law in classical and quantum mechanics, we illustrate ways to control the phononic heat flow and design thermal diodes. Finally, we consider the coupled transport of heat and charge and discuss several general mechanisms for optimizing the figure of merit of thermoelectric efficiency.
