201 Williams, Clayton C.Three-dimensional model of single electron tunneling between a conductive probe and a localized electronic state in a dielectricMotivated by recent measurements of force detected single-electron tunneling, we present a three-dimensional model for the tunneling rate between a metallic tip and a localized electronic state in a dielectric surface. The tip is assumed to be semi-infinite, with electron wave functions approximat...STM; Scanning; Tunneling Microscopy; Electron states2007
202 Wu, Yong-ShiSchrödinger-like equation for a nonrelativistic electron in a photon field of arbitrary intensityThe Schrödinger equation with minimal coupling for a nonrelativistic electron interacting with a single-mode photon field is not satisfied by the nonrelativistic limit of the exact solutions to the corresponding Dirac equation.

207 Wu, Yong-ShiMutual exclusion statistics between quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall effectIn this paper we propose a new assignment for mutual exclusion statistics between quasielectrons and quasiholes in the fractional quantum Hall effect. In addition to providing numerical evidence for this assignment, we show that the physical origin of this mutual statistics is a novel hard-core co...Exclusion statistics1996-10
208 Williams, Clayton C.Modeling and experimental investigation of cantilever dynamics in force detected single electron tunnelingThe dynamic response of a voltage biased oscillating cantilever probe is investigated through experimental and theoretical analysis as it approaches a dielectric surface. When the tip reaches the appropriate gap single electron tunneling events are detected between the metallic tip and the surface. ...Oscillating cantilever probe; Electron tunneling2004
209 Mattis, Daniel C.Effects of orbital degeneracy on a magnetic impurity in a nonmagnetic metalWe study the Green's-function equations for a version of the two-orbital Anderson model of a magnetic impurity, in an approximation scheme that displays the logarithmic anomalies and enables the Kondo temperature Tĸ to be calculated as a function of the parameters.

210 Mattis, Daniel C.Partially frustrated Ising models in two dimensionsWe examine ordered, periodic, Ising models on a sq lattice at varying levels x of frustration. The thermodynamic singularity of the fully frustrated model (x=1) is at T=0 while those of partially frustrated lattices (0<x<1) occur at finite Tc .

211 Mishchenko, EugeneCoulomb drag by small momentum transfer between quantum wiresWe 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 liquid2003-09

213 Mattis, Daniel C.Steady-state distribution function in dilute electron gasesIt is usually assumed that optically created carriers in a photoconductor rapidly thermalize to a Boltzmann distribution, regardless of the generation and recombination mechanisms. However, it can be shown that this distribution which is characteristic of thermodynamic equilibrium is incompatible w...Photoconductors; Thermal scattering; Steady state; Cyclotron resonance1960-10
214 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineLaser action in conducting polymersWe discuss both cooperative radiation and stimulated emission and consider their role in spectral narrowing of luminescent conducting polymers. We argue that cooperative radiation is favored in films with poor optical confinement. On the other hand, directional stimulated emission can be observed in...Laser action; Cooperative radiation; Stimulated emission; PPV; Disubstituted polyacetylene; Excitons; Spectral narrowing; Plastic lasers; Superfluorescence; Microcavity lasers1997
