The simplest possible structural transition that an electronic system can undergo is Wigner
crystallization. The aim of this short review is to discuss the main aspects of three recent …

We investigate the electrical switching of charge and spin transport in a topological insulator
nanoconstriction in a four-terminal device. The switch of the edge channels is caused by the …

The transport properties of an interacting one-dimensional quantum dot capacitively coupled
to an atomic force microscope probe are investigated. The dot is described within a Luttinger …

Using a Luttinger liquid theory we investigate the time evolution of the particle density of a
one-dimensional fermionic system with open boundaries and subject to a finite duration …

The charge and spin patterns of a quantum dot embedded into a spin-orbit coupled quantum
wire subject to a magnetic field are investigated. A Luttinger liquid theory is developed …

We investigate theoretically the properties of the photon state and the electronic transport in
a system consisting of a metallic quantum dot strongly coupled to a superconducting …

The temperature-induced emergence of Wigner correlations over finite-size effects in a
strongly interacting one-dimensional quantum dot is studied in the framework of the spin …

Negative differential conductance is a nonlinear transport phenomenon ubiquitous in
molecular nanojunctions. Its physical origin can be the most diverse. In rotationally …

Remarkable features have been predicted for the mechanical fluctuations at the bistability
transition of a classical oscillator coupled capacitively to a quantum dot [Micchi, Phys. Rev …

We evaluate the chemical potential of a one-dimensional quantum dot coupled to an atomic
force microscope tip. The dot is described within the Luttinger liquid framework, and the …
