electron transport system (ets) activity was found to be related to the initial inoculum size,culturability and viability of e. coli. in this experiment, ets activity of flexibacter chinensis was measuredby int-method under a variety of conditions such as starvation media with different amendments anddifferent temperatures. the relation between ets activity, cell culturability, and viability wa...

The derivative discontinuity is a key concept in electronic structure theory in general and density functional theory in particular. The electronic energy of a quantum system exhibits derivative discontinuities with respect to different degrees of freedom that are a consequence of the integer nature of electrons. The classical understanding refers to the derivative discontinuity of the total en...

Electron supercollimation, in which a wave packet is guided to move undistorted along a selected direction, is a highly desirable property that has yet to be realized experimentally. Disorder in general is expected to inhibit supercollimation. Here we report a counterintuitive phenomenon of electron supercollimation by disorder in graphene and related Dirac fermion materials. We show that one c...

Discontinuous changes in the electronic structure upon infinitesimal changes to the Hamiltonian are demonstrated. These are revealed in one and two electron molecular systems by full configuration interaction (FCI) calculations when the realm of the nuclear charge is extended to be fractional. FCI electron densities in these systems show dramatic changes in real space and illustrate the transfe...

Graphene nanoribbons based electronic devices present many interesting physical properties. We designed and investigated the spin-dependent electron transport of a device configuration, which is easy to be fabricated, with an oxygen-terminated ZGNR central scatter region between two hydrogen-terminated ZGNR electrodes. According to the analysis based on non-equilibrium Green's function and dens...

disordered t-shaped graphene nanodevice (tgn) was designed and studied in this paper. we demonstrated the intrinsic transport properties of the tgn by using landauer approach. knowing the transmission probability of an electron the current through the system is obtained using landauer-buttiker formalism. the effects of single disorder on conductance, current and on the transport length scales a...

the dye-sensitized solar cells (dssc) have been regarded as one of the most promising new generation solar cells. tremendous research efforts have been invested to improve the efficiency of solar energy conversion which is generally determined by the light harvesting efficiency, electron injection efficiency and undesirable electron lifetime. in this review, various characteristics of dye-sensi...

in this paper, we examine the effect of the energy difference between the l- and the -valleys in compound semiconductor materials, carrier effective mass, and the scattering processes on the electron transport characteristics in mesfets. to do this, we use the monte carlo simulation to demonstrate the superiority of the ingaas mesfet, made on a semi-insulating inp substrate, over both inp and ...
