Recent scanning tunneling microscopy studies of the intrinsic electronic properties of single-
walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are overviewed in this Account. A brief theoretical …

We review recent experimental and theoretical work on ultrasmall metallic grains, ie grains
sufficiently small that the conduction electron energy spectrum becomes discrete. The …

Some of the most intriguing problems in solid-state physics arise when the motion of one
electron dramatically affects the motion of surrounding electrons. Traditionally, such highly …

When a magnetic impurity exists in a metal, conduction electrons form a spin cloud that
screens the impurity spin. This basic phenomenon is called the Kondo effect,. Unlike electric …

The transport properties of a double quantum dot device with one of the dots coupled to
perfect conductors are analyzed using the numerical renormalization group technique and …

We suggest a simple system of two electron droplets which should display two-channel
Kondo behavior at experimentally accessible temperatures. Stabilization of the two-channel …

Kondo coupling of f and conduction electrons is a common feature of f-electron
intermetallics. Similar effects should occur in carbon ring systems (metallocenes). Evidence …

Trapped ions arranged in Coulomb crystals provide us with the elements to study the
physics of a single spin coupled to a boson bath. In this work, we show that optical forces …

We have observed the Fano-Kondo antiresonance in a quantum wire with a side-coupled
quantum dot. In a weak coupling regime, dips due to the Fano effect appeared. As the …

Partial ytterbium f-orbital occupancy (ie, intermediate valence) and open-shell singlet
formation are established for a variety of bipyridine and diazabutadiene adducts with …
