It is shown that a digital simulation of a noise induced phase transition using an algorithm consistent with the Ito stochastic calculus is in agreement with the predictions of that theory, whereas experiments with an analogue simulator yield measured results in agreement with the predictions of the Stratonovich theory.

We demonstrate experimentally picosecond all-optical control of a single plasmonic nanoantenna embedded in indium tin oxide (ITO). We identify a picosecond response of the antenna-ITO hybrid system, which is distinctly different from transient bleaching observed for gold antennas on a nonconducting SiO(2) substrate. Our experimental results can be explained by the large free-carrier nonlinearit...

Indium belongs to Group III A in the periodic table and it is mainly used in the making of thin-film transistor liquid crystal displays (LCDs) for television screens, portable computer screens, pocket telephone displays and video monitors, mainly through the utilization of indiumtin oxide (ITO). ITO is a sintered alloy containing a large portion of indium oxide and a small portion of tin oxide....

It was recently reported that the slow transient outward K current, Ito, s, that is evident in mouse left ventricular septal cells is eliminated in mice with a targeted deletion of the Kv1.4 gene (Kv1.4). The rapidly inactivating transient outward K current, Ito, f, in contrast, is selectively eliminated in ventricular myocytes isolated from transgenic mice expressing a dominant-negative Kv4 a ...

Tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) has found widespread use in solar cells, displays, and touch screens as a transparent electrode; however, two major problems with ITO remain: high reflectivity (up to 10%) and insufficient flexibility. Together, these problems severely limit the applications of ITO films for future optoelectronic devices. In this communication, we report the fabrication of ITO nanof...

K Ito s stochastic calculus is a collection of tools which permit us to perform opera tions such as composition integration and di erentiation on functions of Brownian paths and more general random functions known as Ito processes As we shall see Ito calcu lus and Ito processes are extremely useful in the formulation of nancial risk management techniques These notes are intended to introduce th...

The heterojunction effects of TiO2 nanotubes on photoconductive characteristics were investigated. For ITO/TiO2/Si diodes, the photocurrent is controlled either by the TiO2/Si heterojunction (p-n junction) or the ITO-TiO2 heterojunction (Schottky contact). In the short circuit (approximately 0 V) condition, the TiO2-Si heterojunction dominates the photocarrier transportation direction due to it...

We demonstrate that indium tin oxide nanowires (ITO NWs) and cationic polymer-modified ITO NWs configured in a network format can be used as high performing UV/vis photodetectors. The photovoltage response of ITO NWs is much higher than similarly constructed devices made from tin oxide, zinc tin oxide, and zinc oxide nanostructures. The ITO NW mesh-based devices exhibit a substantial photovolta...

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been self-assembled onto electrochemically deposited polyaniline (PANI) films on indium-tin-oxide (ITO) coated glass plates to fabricate glucose biosensor. The covalent immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) in the near vicinity of gold nanoparticles has been obtained using N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), chemist...
