[Anders Blom]

Some publications with ATK have already appeared in 2009! Very interesting reading, on

• Tunnel currents across silane diamines/dithiols and alkane diamines/dithiols
• CrAs(001)/AlAs(001) heterogeneous junction as a spin current diode
• Half-metallic Au-V(Cr) quantum wires as spin filters
• Transport properties of T-shaped and crossed junctions based on graphene nanoribbons
• Switching characteristics of the phenoxynaphthacenequinone-based optical molecular switch with carbon nanotube electrodes

5 new publications using ATK have been included in the reference list. The topics are:

• Transport properties of C20 fullerene molecules (An et al., Ludong Univ.)
• Negative differential resistance in fused thiophene trimer (Sen and Chakrabarti, Univ. of Calcutta)
• Polyacene and biphenyl systems with different terminal and intramolecular connections (Liu et al., Nanjing Univ.)
• Electronic structure and quantum transport of Pt-SrTiO3-Pt heterostructures, with special focus on effects of dopants (Wang et al., Tohoku/Tokyo Univ.)
• Switching characteristics of an optical molecular switch based on the 15,16-dinitrile dihydropyrene/cyclophanediene (DDP/CPD) molecule with two single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) electrodes (Zhao et al., Universities of Jinan, Shandong, and Jining)

The publication list has actually been updated several times already during the autumn. However, lately we have added several new papers, and although there are probably a few more to be accounted for, we can already now count over 60 papers published during 2009! The full publication list is, as always, at http://quantumwise.com/documents/ATK_Publication_List.html - enjoy all the great articles!
