La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 thin films were epitaxially grown on miscut MgO(001) substrates by pulsed laser ablation. Electrical transport properties were studied by using an ultra high vacuum, four-probe STM system at different temperatures. Anomalous resistivity behavior and metal-insulator transition temperatures were found, both of which are highly dependent upon the miscut angle (1, 3, and 5°). These...

Quantitative measurement of the equilibrium terrace-width distribution of vicinal surfaces enables detailed investigation of step–step interactions. Using results from random-matrix theory, we point out simple analytical expressions that assist in this process, improving considerably over standard techniques and allowing assessment of weak repulsions, heretofore inaccessible except by indirect ...

Terrace formation in semiconductor epitaxial layers has been postulated to cause lattice bending, which ought to be observable by x-ray diffraction. Consideration of dynamical effects of x-ray reflection, both at the terraces and from a distorted crystal lattice, shows that diffraction effects by far outweigh the effects oflattice bending. For a given liquid phase epitaxial GaAs layer on a GaAs...

This paper explains the biophysical principles which, according to us, govern the Proteus mirabilis swarm phenomenon. Then, this explanation is translated into a mathematical model, essentially based on partial differential equations. This model is then implemented using numerical methods of the finite volume type in order to make simulations. The simulations show most of the characteristics wh...
