Crossed Andreev reflection tuned by dynamical Coulomb blockade (2008)

Kleine, A., Baumgartner, A., Trbovic, J., Schönenberger, C.

We show experimentally that in nanometer scaled superconductor/normal metal hybrid devices and in a small window of contact resistances, crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) can dominate the nonlocal...

Scaling of 1/f noise in tunable break-junctions (2008)

Wu, ZhengMing, Wu, SongMei, Oberholzer, S., Steinacher, M., Calame, M., Schönenberger, C.

We have studied the $1/f$ voltage noise of gold nano-contacts in electromigrated and mechanically controlled break-junctions having resistance values $R$ that can be tuned from 10 $\Omega$ (many...

Nanospintronics with carbon nanotubes (2006)

Cottet, A., Kontos, T., Sahoo, S., Man, H.T., Belzig, Wolfgang, ...

One of the actual challenges of spintronics is the realization of a spin transistor allowing control of spin transport through an electrostatic gate. In this paper, we report on different experiments...

Electrical Spin Injection in Multi-Wall carbon NanoTubes with transparent ferromagnetic contacts (2004)

Sahoo, S., Kontos, T., Schönenberger, C., Sürgers, C.

We report on electrical spin injection measurements on MWNTs . We use a ferromagnetic alloy Pd$_{1-x}$Ni$_{x}$ with x $\approx$ 0.7 which allows to obtain devices with resistances as low as 5.6...

Electrical conductance of atomic contacts in liquid environments (2004)

Grüter, L., González, M. T., Huber, R., Calame, M., Schönenberger, C.

We present measurements of the electrical conductance $G$ at room temperature of mechanically controllable break junctions (MCBJ) fabricated from Au in different solvents (octane, DCM, DMSO, and...

Shot Noise in Schottky's Vacuum Tube (2001)

Schönenberger, C., Oberholzer, S., Sukhorukov, E. V., Grabert, H.

In these notes we discuss the origin of shot noise ('Schroteffekt') of vacuum tubes in detail. It will be shown that shot noise observed in vacuum tubes and first described by W. Schottky in 1918 is...

Thermopower of mesoscopic spin glasses (2001)

Strunk, C, Neuttiens, G, Henny, M, Schönenberger, C

NATO science series. Series II. Mathematics, physics and chemistry

The 1/3-shot noise suppression in diffusive nanowires (1998)

Henny, M., Oberholzer, S., Strunk, C., Schönenberger, C.

We report low-temperature shot noise measurements of short diffusive Au wires attached to electron reservoirs of varying sizes. The measured noise suppression factor compared to the classical noise...
