• Title: Uncovering anisotropic effects of electric high-moment dipoles on the tunneling current in $\delta$-layer tunnel junctions
• Authors: Juan P. Mendez and Denis Mamaluy
• Abstract summary: Two distinct conductivity regimes exist in $delta$-layer tunnel junctions. In the low-bias regime with high-resistance tunneling mode dipole impurities of nearly all orientations and moments can alter the current. In the high-bias regime with low-resistivity only dipole defects with high moment and orientated in the direction to the electron tunneling direction can significantly affect the current.

• Abstract: The precise positioning of dopants in semiconductors using scanning tunneling microscopes has led to the development of planar dopant-based devices, also known as $\delta$-layers, facilitating the exploration of new concepts in classical and quantum computing. Recently it have been shown that two distinct conductivity regimes (low- and high- bias regimes) exist in $\delta$-layer tunnel junctions due to the presence of quasi-discrete and continuous states in the conduction band of $\delta$-layer systems. Furthermore, discrete charged impurities in the tunnel junction region significantly influence the tunneling rates in $\delta$-layer tunnel junctions. Here we demonstrate that zero-charge impurities, or electrical dipoles, present in the tunnel junction region can also significantly alter the tunneling rate, depending, however, on the specific conductivity regime and orientation and moment of the dipole. In the low-bias regime with high-resistance tunneling mode dipole impurities of nearly all orientations and moments can alter the current, indicating the extreme sensitivity of the tunnel current to the slightest imperfection in the tunnel gap. In the high-bias regime with low-resistivity only dipole defects with high moment and orientated in the direction perpendicular to the electron tunneling direction can significantly affect the current, thus making this conductivity regime significantly less prone to the influence of dipole defects with low-moment or dipoles oriented along the propagation direction.

  Electrons can navigate along channels we call superwires, gently guided without brute force confinement. Quantum properties of superwires give rise to elastic dynamical tunneling, linking disjoint regions of the corresponding classical phase space. We quantify tunneling rates across various lattice configurations, and demonstrate the tunneling can be suppressed in a controlled fashion.

We investigated excitons dynamics in TMDC heterobilayers via locally controlled junction current. Our results show that tip-induced radiative relaxation of intralayer (interlayer) excitons becomes dominant in the quantum tunneling regime.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
