Fano-Resonance-Driven Spin-Valve Effect Using Single-Molecule Magnets

摘要

One of the distinctive features of waves is the interference phenomenon between waves that are propagating along different paths. Fano resonance, which occurs by the quantum mechanical interference between discrete and continuum states, is a manifestation of the wave-nature of electrons, which has been observed in various systems from atomic spectrum to conductance in nanoscale devices. Recently its fundamental importance in nanoscience has been discussed in an extensive Review article. For example, its usefulness for novel applications was addressed through theoretical studies showing that ultrafast DNA sequencing can be accomplished by deciphering the unique Fano-resonance patterns of each nucleotide.
