Even-odd behavior of conductance in monatomic sodium wires

With the aid of the Friedel sum rule, we perform first-principles calculations of conductances through monatomic Na wires, taking into account the sharp tip geometry and discrete atomic structure of electrodes. We find that conductances (G) depend on the number (L) of atoms in the wires; G is G(0)( = 2e(2)/h) for odd L, independent of the wire geometry, while G is generally smaller than G(0) and sensitive to the wire structure for even L. This even-odd behavior is attributed to the charge neutrality and resonant character due to the sharp tip structure. We suggest that similar even-odd behavior may appear in other monovalent atomic wires.     

Correlations between the scanning tunneling microscopy imaged configurations and the electronic structure on stepped Si(111)-( 7x7) surfaces

We have observed the dependence of the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaged atom intensity within the (7x7) unit cell on stepped Si(111) as a function of the tunneling voltage. Pronounced differences from the corresponding atom intensity on the flat surface are observed for the contrast of atoms on the low versus the high side of the step and for the contrast between the faulted versus unfaulted subcells of the (7x7) structure. These differences can be accounted for by changes in the electronic structure within the (7x7) subcells adjacent to the step. Calculations of the local density of states and the STM images using a tight-binding method are in excellent agreement with the experimental results.

Single-photon all-optical switching using coupled microring resonators

We study the nonlinear phase response of a microring resonator coupled to a bus waveguide and the use of this nonlinear phase shift to store information in the microring resonator and enhance the switching characteristics of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). By introducing coupling between adjacent microring resonators, the switching characteristics of the MZI can be exponentially enhanced as a function of the number of microring resonators, when compared to the linear enhancement for uncoupled resonators. With only a few moderate-finesse microring resonators, the switching power can be reduced to attowatt level, allowing for photonic switching devices that operate at single-photon level in ordinary optical waveguides.
