Microwave-induced resistance oscillations in a back-gated GaAs quantum well
We performed effective mass measurements employing microwave-induced
resistance oscillation in a tunable-density GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well. Our main
result is a clear observation of an effective mass increase with decreasing
density, in general agreement with earlier studies which investigated the
density dependence of the effective mass employing Shubnikov- de Haas
oscillations. This finding provides further evidence that microwave-induced
resistance oscillations are sensitive to electron-electron interactions and
offer a convenient and accurate way to obtain the effective mass.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Determination of anisotropic dipole moments in self-assembled quantum dots using Rabi oscillations
By investigating the polarization-dependent Rabi oscillations using
photoluminescence spectroscopy, we determined the respective transition dipole
moments of the two excited excitonic states |Ex> and |Ey> of a single
self-assembled quantum dot that are nondegenerate due to shape anisotropy. We
find that the ratio of the two dipole moments is close to the physical
elongation ratio of the quantum dot.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, MS Word generated PDF fil

Momentum, Disposition, and tax-loss selling: the UK evidence
In this paper we explore the seasonality of UK momentum returns. We find evidence of very high momentum returns during March followed by negative returns during April. This seasonality is driven by substantial swings in performance for the Loser portfolio, with loser stocks performing very poorly during March before bouncing back in April. This pattern is what we would expect to result from tax-loss selling by individual investors and as such supports the Grinblatt and Han’s (2004) explanation for momentum that is based on disposition trading. Poor January momentum returns are not so easily explained

Knowledge acquisition in supply chain partnerships: The role of power
This is the post-print version of the final paper published in International Journal of Production Economics. The published article is available from the link below. Changes resulting from the publishing process, such as peer review, editing, corrections, structural formatting, and other quality control mechanisms may not be reflected in this document. Changes may have been made to this work since it was submitted for publication. Copyright @ 2013 Elsevier B.V.Knowledge is recognised as an important source of competitive advantage and hence there has been increasing academic and practitioner interest in understanding and isolating the factors that contribute to effective knowledge transfer between supply chain actors. The literature identifies power as a salient contributor to the effective operation of a supply chain partnership. However, there is a paucity of empirical research examining how power among actors influences knowledge acquisition and in turn the performance of supply chain partners. The aim of this research is to address this gap by examining the relationship between power, knowledge acquisition and supply chain performance among the supply chain partners of a focal Chinese steel manufacturer. A structured survey was used to collect the necessary data. Two conceptually independent variables – ‘availability of alternatives’ and ‘restraint in the use of power’ – were used to assess actual and realised power, respectively. Controlling for contingencies, we found that the flow of knowledge increased when supply chain actors had limited alternatives and when the more powerful actor exercised restraint in the use of power. Moreover, we found a positive relationship between knowledge acquisition and supply chain performance. This paper enriches the literature by empirically extending our understanding of how power affects knowledge acquisition and performance
Measuring information growth in fractal phase space
We look at chaotic systems evolving in fractal phase space. The entropy
change in time due to the fractal geometry is assimilated to the information
growth through the scale refinement. Due to the incompleteness, at any scale,
of the information calculation in fractal support, the incomplete normalization
is applied throughout the paper. It is shown that the
information growth is nonadditive and is proportional to the trace-form
so that it can be connected to several nonadditive
entropies. This information growth can be extremized to give, for
non-equilibrium systems, power law distributions of evolving stationary state
which may be called ``maximum entropic evolution''.Comment: 10 pages, 1 eps figure, TeX. Chaos, Solitons & Fractals (2004), in
