Magnetic-field-induced crossover from Mott variable-range hopping to weakly insulating behavior.
There is considerable current interest in the magnetotransport of insulators that exhibit variable-range-hopping conductivity. Interesting, complex behavior has been found as a function of magnetic field. A substantial initial decrease in resistance, which saturates at fields around 2 or 3 T, has been attributed to quantum interference effects. A second and apparently distinct decrease or minim...
متن کاملTwo phase transitions induced by a magnetic field in graphite.
Different instabilities have been speculated for a three-dimensional electron gas confined to its lowest Landau level. The phase transition induced in graphite by a strong magnetic field, and believed to be a charge density wave, is the only experimentally established case of such instabilities. Studying the magnetoresistance in graphite for the first time up to 80 T, we find that the magnetic ...
متن کاملIn-plane magnetic field-induced spin polarization and transition to insulating behavior in two-dimensional hole systems.
Using a novel technique, we make quantitative measurements of the spin polarization of dilute [ (3.4-6.8)x10(10) cm(-2)] GaAs (311)A two-dimensional holes as a function of an in-plane magnetic field. As the field is increased the system gradually becomes spin polarized, with the degree of spin polarization depending on the orientation of the field relative to the crystal axes. Moreover, the beh...
متن کاملAbsolute cross section for loss of supercoiled topology induced by 10 eV electrons in highly uniform /DNA/1,3-diaminopropane films deposited on highly ordered pyrolitic graphite.
It was recently shown that the affinity of doubly charged, 1-3 diaminopropane (Dap(2+)) for DNA permits the growth on highly ordered pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) substrates, of plasmid DNA films, of known uniform thickness [O. Boulanouar, A. Khatyr, G. Herlem, F. Palmino, L. Sanche, and M. Fromm, J. Phys. Chem. C 115, 21291-21298 (2011)]. Post-irradiation analysis by electrophoresis of such target...
متن کاملUFM observation of lattice defects in highly oriented pyrolytic graphite
Ultrasonic force microscopy (UFM) can be used to image the distribution of elastic modulus up to several tens of GPa, which is not possible by the force modulation mode using a soft cantilever of spring constant less than 1 N m‘. It was shown that by careful design of a piezoelectric transducer, together with a sample with small friction force, deflection vibration of the cantilever without tor...
