SlovakBERT: Slovak Masked Language Model

We introduce a new Slovak masked language model called SlovakBERT. This is to our best knowledge the first paper discussing Slovak transformers-based language models. We evaluate our model on several NLP tasks and achieve state-of-the-art results. This evaluation is likewise the first attempt to establish a benchmark for Slovak language models. We publish the masked language model, as well as the fine-tuned models for part-of-speech tagging, sentiment analysis and semantic textual similarity.

Twin lead ballistic conductor based on nanoribbon edge transport

If a device like a graphene nanoribbon (GNR) has all its four corners attached to electric current leads, the device becomes a quantum junction through which two electrical circuits can interact. We study such system theoretically for stationary currents. The 4-point energy-dependent conductance matrix of the nanostructure and the classical resistors in the circuits are parameters of the model. The two bias voltages in the circuits are the control variables of the studied system while the electrochemical potentials at the device's terminals are non-trivially dependent on the voltages. For the special case of the linear-response regime analytical formulae for the operation of the coupled quantum-classical device are derived and applied. For higher bias voltages numerical solutions are obtained. The effects of non-equilibrium Fermi levels are captured using a recursive algorithm in which self-consistency between the electrochemical potentials and the currents is reached within few iterations. The developed approach allows to study scenarios ranging from independent circuits to strongly coupled ones. For the chosen model of the GNR with highly conductive zigzag edges we determine the regime in which the single device carries two almost independent currents.

Conductance of graphene flakes contacted at their corners

Linear conductance of junctions formed by graphene flakes with order of nanometer-thick electrodes attached at the corners of the flakes is studied. The explored structures have sizes up to 20000 atoms and the conductance is studied as a function of applied gate voltage varied around the Fermi level. The finding, obtained computationally, is that junctions formed by armchair-edge flakes with the electrodes connected at the acute-angle corners block the electron transport while only junctions with such electrodes at the obtuse-angle corners tend to provide the high electrical conductance typical for metallic GNRs. The finding in case of zig-zag edges is similar with an exception of a relatively narrow gate voltage interval in which each studied junction is highly conductive as mediated by the edge states. The contrast between the conductive and insulating setups is typically several orders of magnitude in terms of ratio of their conductances. Main results of the paper remain to a large extent valid also in the presence of edge disorder.

Wavepacket representation of leads for efficient simulations of time-dependent electronic transport

We present theoretical foundations and numerical demonstration of an efficient method for performing time-dependent many-electron simulations for electronic transport. The method employs the concept of stroboscopic wavepacket basis for the description of electrons' dynamics in the semi-infinite leads.The rest of the system can be treated using common propagation schemes for finite electronic systems. We use the implementation of our method to study the time-dependent current response in armchair graphene nano-ribbons (AGNR) with sizes up to 800 atoms described within tight-binding approximation. The character of the time-dependent current is studied for different magnitudes of the bias voltage, variable width and length of AGNRs, different positions of the current measurement, and for full and reduced coupling of the AGNRs to the electrodes.
