Interaction corrections at intermediate temperatures: dephasing time
We calculate the temperature dependence of the weak localization correction
in a two dimensional system at arbitrary relation between temperature, and
the elastic mean free time. We describe the crossover in the dephasing time
between the high temperature, ,
and the low temperature behaviors. The prefactors in
these dependences are not universal, but are determined by the Fermi liquid
constant characterising the spin exchange interaction.Comment: 4 pages, to appear in PRB, minor errors corrected, added reference
Chirality effects in carbon nanotubes
We consider chirality related effects in optical, photogalvanic and
electron-transport properties of carbon nanotubes. We show that these
properties of chiral nanotubes are determined by terms in the electron
effective Hamiltonian describing the coupling between the electron wavevector
along the tube principal axis and the orbital momentum around the tube
circumference. We develop a theory of photogalvanic effects and a theory of
d.c. electric current, which is linear in the magnetic field and quadratic in
the bias voltage. Moreover, we present analytic estimations for the natural
circular dichroism and magneto-spatial effect in the light absorption.Comment: 23 pages, 3 figure
Lifetime of Two-Dimensional Electrons Measured by Tunneling Spectroscopy
For electrons tunneling between parallel two-dimensional electron systems,
conservation of in-plane momentum produces sharply resonant current-voltage
characteristics and provides a uniquely sensitive probe of the underlying
electronic spectral functions. We report here the application of this technique
to accurate measurements of the temperature dependence of the electron-electron
scattering rate in clean two-dimensional systems. Our results are in
qualitative agreement with existing calculations.Comment: file in REVTEX format produces 11 pages, 3 figures available from

Incorporation of tramadol drug into Li-fluorohectorite clay: A preliminary study of a medical nanofluid
During the last years, clays have been increasingly explored as hosts for drugs. In the present paper, we have been able to host the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, Tramadol, into the clay Li-fluorohectorite (Li-Fh). We preliminary evaluate its incorporation by means of UV spectroscopy and X ray diffraction. Our results indicate that the clay hosts the drug molecule in its interlayer space. We suggest a set of parameters to guarantee an efficient incorporation process. Future studies will concentrate on the release of the drug from the clay nanofluid
