Diffusion trapping times and dynamic percolation in an Ising system
We address the problem of diffusion through dynamic Ising network structures using random walkers (RWs) whose net displacements are partitioned into two contributions, arising from (1) transport throu...

Dark channels in resonant tunneling transport through artificial atoms
We investigate sequential tunneling through a multilevel quantum dot confining multiple electrons in the regime where several channels are available for transport within the bias window. By analyzing ...

We present ab initio calculations of transport properties of palladium wires in the presence of hydrogen. Detailed investigations have been conducted with a pure palladium wire and with opening a gap inside the wire in which the transition between point contact regime and tunneling regime occurs. The effect of the presence of hydrogen in the gap is studied for different ranges of the gap size. The hydrogen mediated transport in the contact and tunneling regimes of the gap are analyzed and compared. It is predicted that only in large enough distances the hydrogen presence increases the conductance. The effect of additional hydrogen molecules on the gap is also studied. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
