 | 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 |

 | Scarpulla, Michael | Diluted II-VI oxide semiconductors with multiple band gaps | We report the realization of a new mult-band-gap semiconductor. Zn1-yMnyOxTe1-x alloys have been synthesized using the combination of oxygen ion implantation and pulsed laser melting. Incorporation of small quantities of isovalent oxygen leads to the formation of a narrow, oxygen-derived band of ... | Highly mismatched alloys; Zinc telluride | 2003-12 |

 | Boehme, Christoph | Electrical detection of spin coherence in silicon | Experimental evidence is presented showing that photocurrents in silicon can be used as highly sensitive readout probes for coherent spin states of localized electrons, the prime candidates for quantum bits in various semiconductor based quantum computer concepts. Conduction electrons are subjected ... | Spin coherence; Electronic transitions; Rabi oscillation | 2003-12 |

 | Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Ehrenfreund, Eitan A. | Linear and nonlinear photoexcitation dynamics in ∏-conjugated polymers | Linear and nonlinear recombination kinetics with various lifetime distributions were identified for long-lived photoexcitations in a series of rr-conjugated polymer films using modulation frequency and excitation intensity dependencies of the photoinduced absorption. This includes monomolecular, bim... | Linear photoexcitation; Nonlinear photoexcitation; pi-conjugated polymers; Recombination kinetics | 2003-01 |

 | Lupton, John Mark | Linewidth-limited energy transfer in single conjugated polymer molecules | Using low temperature single molecule spectroscopy on rigid-rod conjugated polymers we are able to identify homogeneously broadened, strongly polarized emission from individual chromophore units on a single chain. Gated fluorescence spectroscopy allows real time imaging of intramolecular energy tran... | Linewidth-limited; Energy transfer; Rigid-rod; Single molecule spectroscopy; Gated fluorescence spectroscopy; Chromophores; Intramolecular energy transfer; Spectral linewidth | 2003-12 |

 | Liu, Feng | Metal-to-semiconductor transition in squashed armchair carbon nanotubes | We investigate electronic transport properties of the squashed armchair carbon nanotubes, using tight-binding molecular dynamics and the Green's function method. We demonstrate a metal-to-semiconductor transition while squashing the nanotubes and a general mechanism for such a transition. It is the ... | Squashed armchair; Carbon nanotubes; Metal-to-semiconductor transition; Electronic transport; Tight-binding molecular dynamics; Squashed nanotubes | 2003-04 |

 | Liu, Feng | Seeing the atomic orbital: first-principles study of the effect of tip termination on atomic force microscopy | We perform extensive first-principles calculations to simulate the topographical atomic-force-microscope image of an adatom on the Si(111)-(7 X 7) surface, demonstrating the feasibility of imaging not only the atoms but also the atomic orbitals. Our comparative study of tip terminations shows that ... | First-principles; Tip termination; Adatoms | 2003-06 |

 | Smith, Grant D.; Bedrov, Dmitro; Borodin, Oleg | Structural relaxation and dynamic hetrogeneity in a polymer melt at attractive surfaces | Molecular dynamics simulations of polymer melts at flat and structured surfaces reveal that, for the former, slow dynamics and increased dynamic heterogeneity for an adsorbed polymer is due to densification of the polymer in a surface layer, while, for the latter, the energy topography of the sur... | Polymer melts; Structural relaxation; Dynamic heterogeneity; Attractive surfaces; Surface energy topography; Polymer densification | 2003-06 |
