Enhanced resistance of single-layer graphene to ion bombardment
We report that single-layer graphene on a SiO_2/Si substrate withstands ion bombardment up to ~7
times longer than expected when exposed to focused Ga^+ ion beam. The exposure is performed in
a dual beam scanning electron microscope/focused ion beam system at 30 kV accelerating voltage
and 41 pA current. Ga^+ ion flux is determined by sputtering a known volume of hydrogenated
amorphous carbon film deposited via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition
When a Threat is Not a Threat: Why Persons Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing Are Left Unprotected by California Penal Code Section 422 and How the Courts Could Rectify It
Comment on "Electron transport through correlated molecules computed using the time-independent Wigner function: Two critical tests"
The many electron correlated scattering (MECS) approach to quantum electronic
transport was investigated in the linear response regime [I. Baldea and H.
Koeppel, Phys. Rev. B. 78, 115315 (2008)]. The authors suggest, based on
numerical calculations, that the manner in which the method imposes boundary
conditions is unable to reproduce the well-known phenomena of conductance
quantization. We introduce an analytical model and demonstrate that conductance
quantization is correctly obtained using open system boundary conditions within
the MECS approach.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures. Physical Review B, to appea

Microstructure versus Size: Mechanical Properties of Electroplated Single Crystalline Cu Nanopillars
We report results of uniaxial compression experiments on single-crystalline Cu nanopillars with nonzero initial dislocation densities produced without focused ion beam (FIB). Remarkably, we find the same power-law size-driven strengthening as FIB-fabricated face-centered cubic micropillars. TEM analysis reveals that initial dislocation density in our FIB-less pillars and those produced by FIB are on the order of 10^(14)  m^(-2) suggesting that mechanical response of nanoscale crystals is a stronger function of initial microstructure than of size regardless of fabrication method
