Since the discovery a century ago,–of electronic thermal noise and shot noise, these forms
of fundamental noise have had an enormous impact on science and technology research …

The properties of nanoscopic superconducting structures fabricated with a scanning
tunnelling microscope are reviewed, with emphasis on the effects of high magnetic fields …

We calculate the effect of electron-vibration coupling on conduction through atomic gold
wires, which was measured in the experiments of [Agraït Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 216803 …

Many experiments have shown that the conductance histograms of metallic atomic-sized
contacts exhibit a peak structure, which is characteristic of the corresponding material. The …

We present a theoretical study of the density of states and supercurrent in diffusive
superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS) junctions. In particular, we study the …

We report on high quality local tunnel spectroscopy measurements in superconductors
using in-situ fabricated superconducting tips as counterelectrode. The experiments were …

We demonstrate a general procedure for determining the conduction channels of quantum
conductors from shot noise measurements. This numerical approach allows multichannel …

Motivated by recent experiments [Science 355, 1192 (2017) SCIEAS 0036-8075

Combining ab initio and self-consistent parametrized tight-binding calculations we analyze
the conductance properties of atomic chains of 5 d elements like Au, Pt and Ir. It is shown …

Measurements of shot noise from single molecules have indicated the presence of various
conduction channels. We present three descriptions of these channels in molecular terms …
