Characterization and suppression of low-frequency noise in Si/SiGe quantum point contacts and quantum dots

(author unknown)



K. Takeda, T. Obata, and Y. Fukuoka et al.

We report on the effects of a global top gate on low-frequency noise in Schottky gate-defined quantum point contacts (QPCs) and quantum dots (QDs) in a modulation-doped Si/SiGe heterostructure. For a relatively large top gate voltage, the QPC current shows frequent switching with 1/f2 Lorentzian t ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 102, 123113 (2013)] published Fri Mar 29, 2013.

Probing polarization modes of Ag nanowires with hot electron detection on Au/TiO2 nanodiodes

(author unknown)



Young Keun Lee, Jaemin Lee, and Hyosun Lee et al.

We report the effect of surface plasmons of silver nanowires (AgNWs) on the generation of hot electrons. The AgNWs were deposited on ultra-thin Au/TiO2 Schottky nanodiodes using a spraying method. As surface coverage of the AgNWs on the thin gold film increased, the short-circuit current under ill ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 102, 123112 (2013)] published Fri Mar 29, 2013.

Spherical curves design for micro-origami using intrinsic stress relaxation

(author unknown)



A. Danescu, C. Chevalier, and G. Grenet et al.

Selective etching of pre-stressed multi-layered structures releases intrinsic stresses creating flexible microscopic shapes (rolls, spirals, tubes, etc.). A question of major interest is how to control design, composition, and etching process in order to obtain a prescribed macroscopic object? We ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 102, 123111 (2013)] published Fri Mar 29, 2013.

Geometrical parameters controlled focusing and enhancing near field in infinite circular metal-dielectric multilayered cylinder

(author unknown)



Shaoyan Gao, Pengbo Li, and Fuli Li

The plasmon resonance-induced near electric field focusing and enhancement of three-layered silver nano-cylinder has been studied by quasi-static electricity. A field enhancement factor of more than 102 times can be obtained in the middle dielectric wall between the inner silver wire and outer tub ... [Appl. Phys.

Daniel Schmidt, Chad Briley, and Eva Schubert et al.

Vector magneto-optical generalized ellipsometry is employed for the determination of the three-dimensional magnetization properties of magnetized thin solid as well as slanted columnar thin film samples. The permalloy thin films were probed by means of Mueller matrix ellipsometry at room-temperatu ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 102, 123109 (2013)] published Thu Mar 28, 2013.

A tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) microscope has been developed, which is based on the tapping-mode operation of atomic force microscopy. By synchronizing a multichannel detector with tapping oscillation of the metallic nanotip, one can measure a tip-sample separation dependent TERS spectrum ... [Appl. Phys.

Min Xie, Dongsheng Li, and Le Chen et al.

Electrically activated doping of boron (B) atoms into the Si-nanocrystals (Si-NCs) embedded silicon oxide film is achieved by co-sputtering technique following with the annealing treatment. The evolution of the size, the shape, and the density of Si-NCs with the doping of B atoms is investigated. ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 102, 123108 (2013)] published Thu Mar 28, 2013.
