Kieda, David B.; Gaisser, Thomas K.; Sokolsky, Pierre | Cosmic-ray composition around 10^18 eV | We use the depth of maximum distribution as measured by the stereo Fly's Eye detector to study the chemical composition of the primary cosmic radiation between 3x 1017 eV and 1019 eV. The analysis depends on the use of simulations to study the response of the detector as well as sensitivity to assum... | Fly's Eye; Cosmic ray composition; Cosmic ray nuclei; Chemical composition | 1993-03 |

Symko, Orest George | Large steps in long Josephson junctions | Large constant voltage current-steps were observed in the IV-characteristics of long NbN-MgO-NbN Josephson junctions in the presence of external magnetic fields of a few Gauss. The steps are separated by a voltage AV corresponding roughly to 3 to 5 times the voltage spacing expected between adjacent... | NbN-MgO-NbN; Long junctions; Current-steps; Voltage | 1993-03 |

Wu, Yong-Shi | Transitions between the quantum Hall states and insulators induced by periodic potentials | Transitions between two quantum Hall states or between a quantum Hall state and a Mott insulator induced by periodic potentials are studied in the 1 /TV expansion. The transitions are found to be continuous in the large-TV limit and are described by a critical point that depends on a real parameter ... | Periodic potentials; Insulators | 1993-03 |

Symko, Orest George | Tunneling studies of mesoscopic all-NBN junctions | A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was used to position a NbN tip near a NbN thin film sputtered on a Si substrate. Measurements at 4.2 K clearly show an energy gap of 5.0 mV. The Coulomb blockade of tunneling and the Coulomb staircase, formed by single-electron charging of the central electrod... | All-NbN junctions; NbN | 1993-03 |
