Typical experimental measurement is set up as a study of the system's response to a stationary external excitation. This approach considers any random fluctuation of the signal as spurious contribution which is to be eliminated via time-averaging or, equivalently, bandwidth reduction. Beyond that lies a conceptually different paradigm -- the measurement of the system's spontaneous fluctuations. The goal of this overview article is to demonstrate how current noise measurements bring insight into hidden features of electronic transport in various mesoscopic conductors, ranging from 2D topological insulators to individual carbon nanotubes.

We study coherent electric manipulation of magnetic field induced localized states at a double kink of a helical edge in a HgTe/CdHgTe quantum well. An in-plane magnetic field opens a gap in the one-dimensional (1D) edge spectrum, while changes in the edge orientation generate localized in-gap states at the kinks. We show that, for suitable ...

A model of quasistationary states is constructed for the one-dimensional edge states propagating along the edge of a two-dimensional topological insulator based on HgTe/CdTe quantum well in the presence of magnetic barriers with finite transparency. The lifetimes of these quasistationary states are found analytically and numerically via different approaches including the solution of the stationary ...

A model of bound state formation from the delocalized edge states of 2D topological insulator (TI) is derived by considering the effects of magnetic barriers attached to the edge of the HgTe/CdTe quantum well. The resulting structure has a spatial form of 1D quantum dot (QD) with variable number of bound states depending on barrier ...

Feng et al.1 presented transport measurements of three-terminal normal–superconductor–normal devices based on topological insulator nanowires. They measured the full differential conductance matrix, defined as Gij = ∂Ii /∂Vj , beyond the linear response regime as a function of various control parameters. Here i, j∈ [1, 2] denote normal terminals biased by the voltages V1 and ...

Covalent functionalization offers a versatile platform to engineer carbon nanotube properties for optoelectronics applications. We demonstrate by atomistic quantum dynamics simulation that covalent functionalization can renormalize the CNT band gap, split the degenerate CNT band edge states, and strongly influence charge carrier separation and recombination dynamics. Open-ring CNT functionalization (O-CNT) largely retains the π-conjugation, whereas ...

Bismuth nanostructures represent a promising material platform for semiconductor nanooptoelectronics and colorimetry owing to the multi-colored light reflection and quantum confinement. In this work, we study the photoluminescent properties of bismuth nanostructures grown using molecular beam epitaxy on the planar CaF2/Si(111) surface. We demonstrate the different surface morphologies of Bi, ranging from planar films obtained ...

The magnetoresistance of superconductor–topological insulator–superconductor structures, with indium as the superconductor and TaSe3 as the topological insulator, shows steplike features on the resistance under magnetic fields. These resistance steps result from the suppression of superconductivity, induced by the superconducting proximity effect in both the bulk and surface states of the topological insulator. The position and ...

The Kuramoto model, a paradigmatic framework for studying synchronization, exhibits a transition to collective oscillations only above a critical coupling strength in the thermodynamic limit. However, real-world systems are finite, and their dynamics can deviate significantly from mean-field predictions. Here, we investigate finite-size effects in the Kuramoto model below the critical coupling, where the theory ...

Nanomodified polyimide powders based on partially crystalline polyimide (PI) and single- walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were obtained in the course of the synthesis of polyimide powder by chemical imidization. The nanomodified polyimide powders were used to prepare bulk materials (moldings) by injection molding. Differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy showed that carbon nanotubes acted ...

Antimonene, the two-dimensional phase of antimony, appears in two distinct allotropes when epitaxially grown on Bi2Se3: the puckered asymmetric washboard (alpha) and buckled honeycomb (beta) bilayer structures. As-deposited antimony films exhibit varying proportions of single alpha and beta structures. We identify the conditions necessary for ordered, pure-phase growth of single to triple beta-antimonene bilayers. Additionally, ...

Recent experiments on planar superconductor-topological insulator-superconductor (S-TI-S) junctions, e.g., in the Corbino geometry, have reported low-temperature nonzero Josephson currents in states with integer fluxoid (flux) induced in the junction by a perpendicular magnetic field. This effect was discussed in connection with Majorana zero modes localized in Josephson vortices of such junctions. Here, we provide an ...

InAsP-based nanoheterostructures are in great demand in mid-infrared photonics for telecom and sensing applications. While the vapor–liquid–solid grown nanowires have demonstrated the potential to control the crystal phase and vary the InAsP alloy composition in a wide range, the use of a foreign gold catalyst adversely affects their optoelectronic properties. Here we address the limitations ...

A significant (up to 4 times) photoluminescence enhancement of single InP/InAsP/InP nanowires transferred onto a silicon oxide-covered silver layer on silicon substrate with a metal surface roughness level of less than 1 nm and a dielectric thickness of 5 nm has been demonstrated. This phenomenon is explained by the interaction of electron–hole pairs in the semiconductor with ...

Electrons in two different normal metallic electrodes attached to a sufficiently thin superconducting island may become entangled due to the effect of Cooper pair splitting. This phenomenon is of fundamental importance and may also have serious implications for developing quantum communication technologies. One way to identify Cooper pair splitting is to analyze long-range cross correlations ...

We investigate the impact of transport current on the superconducting order parameter in superconducting islands in full-shell epitaxial Al-InAs nanowires. Depending on the device layout, the suppression of superconductivity occurs in three fundamentally different ways-by a critical current in the case of superconducting reservoirs and by a critical voltage or by a critical Joule power ...
