Implications of gauge-free extended electrodynamics

D Reed, LM Hively - Symmetry, 2020 - mdpi.com
Recent tests measured an irrotational (curl-free) magnetic vector potential (A) that is contrary
to classical electrodynamics (CED). A (irrotational) arises in extended electrodynamics …

Current-density implementation for calculating flexoelectric coefficients

CE Dreyer, M Stengel, D Vanderbilt - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
The flexoelectric effect refers to polarization induced in an insulator when a strain gradient is
applied. We have developed a first-principles methodology based on density-functional …

Atomic-scale model for the contact resistance of the nickel-graphene interface

K Stokbro, M Engelund, A Blom - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2012 - APS
We perform first-principles calculations of electron transport across a nickel-graphene
interface. Four different geometries are considered, where the contact area, graphene and …

When current does not follow bonds: Current density in saturated molecules

A Jensen, MH Garner, GC Solomon - The Journal of Physical …, 2019 - ACS Publications
The tools commonly used to understand structure–property relationships in molecular
conductance, interatomic currents and conductance eigenchannels, generally give us a …

[HTML][HTML] On simulation of local fluxes in molecular junctions

G Cabra, A Jensen, M Galperin - The Journal of chemical physics, 2018 - pubs.aip.org

Gauge waves generation and detection in Aharonov–Bohm electrodynamics

F Minotti, G Modanese - The European Physical Journal C, 2023 - Springer
Abstract The extended Aharonov–Bohm electrodynamics has a simple formal structure and
allows to couple the em field also to currents which are not locally conserved, like those …

Electromagnetic signatures of possible charge anomalies in tunneling

F Minotti, G Modanese - Quantum Reports, 2022 - mdpi.com
We reconsider some well-known tunneling processes from the point of view of Aharonov-
Bohm electrodynamics, a unique extension of Maxwell's theory which admits charge-current …

Time in quantum mechanics and the local non-conservation of the probability current

G Modanese - Mathematics, 2018 - mdpi.com
In relativistic quantum field theory with local interactions, charge is locally conserved. This
implies local conservation of probability for the Dirac and Klein–Gordon wavefunctions, as …

First-principles calculation of current density in molecular devices

L Zhang, B Wang, J Wang - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2011 - APS
Based on the single-particle nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) technique coupled
with the density-functional theory (DFT), we investigate the current density distribution of a …

Are current discontinuities in molecular devices experimentally observable?

F Minotti, G Modanese - Symmetry, 2021 - mdpi.com
An ongoing debate in the first-principles description of conduction in molecular devices
concerns the correct definition of current in the presence of non-local potentials. If the …
