2014 Thick SOI layers obtained by zone melting with and without seeds, respectively, have been investigated by EBIC with respect to their electrical properties (electrical homogeneity, electrically active defects, minority-carrier diffusion length). A variety of inhomogeneities being partly of complex origin has been observed. Their formation is affected by existence of seeds. Besides usual dar...

We demonstrate theoretically that an off-resonant circularly polarized electromagnetic field can induce a persistent current in carbon nanotubes, which corresponds to electron rotation about the nanotube axis. As consequence, nanotubes acquire magnetic moment along axis, depends on their crystal structure and be detected state-of-the-art measurements. This effect related phenomena are analyzed ...
