Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Ehrenfreund, Eitan A. | Illumination-induced metastable polaron-supporting state in poly(p-phenylene vinylene) films | We found an illumination-induced metastable polaron-supporting state in films of a soluble derivative of poly-p-phenylene vinylene (MEH-PPV). Pristine, nonilluminated MEH-PPV polymer films do not show longlived photogenerated polarons. Prolonged UV illumination, however, is found to induce a revers... | Metastable polaron-supporting state; Poly(p-phenylene vinylene); PPV; MEH-PPV; Excitons | 2007-07 |

Symko, Orest George | Microwave absorption in the superconducting and normal phases of Y-Ba-Cu-O | Microwave absorption in a dc magnetic field up to 12 kG, attributed to nonequilibrium contributions to the ac susceptibility, appears at Tc as the sample is cooled. ESR measurements of YBa-Cu-O show that Cu2+ exists only in the fraction of the sample which is not superconducting in a distorted octa... | Microwave absorption; Superconducting phase; YBCO; High Tc | 1987-08 |

Mishchenko, Eugene | Coulomb drag by small momentum transfer between quantum wires | We demonstrate that in a wide range of temperatures Coulomb drag between two weakly coupled quantum wires is dominated by processes with a small interwire momentum transfer. Such processes, not accounted for in the conventional Luttinger liquid theory, cause drag only because the electron dispersion... | Coulomb drag; Quantum wires; Luttinger liquid | 2003-09 |

Mattis, Daniel C. | Existence of two phase transitions in Hubbard model | We solve the Hubbard model, for one electron per atom in a simple cubic structure, using one-particle Green's functions. We determine the accuracy of this calculation to be good by comparison with an exact solution by Lieb and Wu of a one-dimensional limiting case. | Critical temperature | 1969-12 |

Lupton, John Mark | Probing the electrode-polymer interface in conjugated polymer devices with surface-enhanced Raman scattering | A crucial consideration in organic devices is the role of the interface between a metal electrode and the active polymer material. Here, we use the conjugated polymer poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyl-oxy)-1,4-phenylene-vinylene] (MEH-PPV) with model gold and silver electrodes to perform surface-enhanc... | | 2012-01-01 |

Mattis, Daniel C. | Theory of ferromagnetism in carbon foam | An explanation is proposed for spontaneous magnetism in the material, "carbon nanofoam," in terms of random ferrimagnetism. Wherever a carbon nanotube branches out, an electron trap is created at the junction. Electrons occupying neighboring junctions align their spins antiparallel. | Carbon foam; Nanotubes; Nanofoam | 2005-04 |

Mishchenko, Eugene | Generation of spin current by Coulomb drag | Coulomb drag between two quantum wires is exponentially sensitive to the mismatch of their electronic densities. The application of a magnetic field can compensate this mismatch for electrons of opposite spin directions in different wires.
