Non-linear resistivity and heat dissipation in monolayer graphene

We have experimentally studied the nonlinear nature of electrical conduction in monolayer graphene devices on silica substrates. This nonlinearity manifests itself as a nonmonotonic dependence of the differential resistance on applied DC voltage bias across the sample. At temperatures below ~70K, the differential resistance exhibits a peak near zero bias that can be attributed to self-heating of the charge carriers. We show that the shape of this peak arises from a combination of different energy dissipation mechanisms of the carriers. The energy dissipation at higher carrier temperatures depends critically on the length of the sample. For samples longer than 10um the heat loss is shown to be determined by optical phonons at the silica-graphene interface.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

PERBANDINGAN PINJAMAN RUPIAH DAN DOLAR US UNTUK PEMBIAYAAN PERLUASAN USAHA

This study has the purpose of determining which source of borrowing (rupiah or US dollars) is more profitable for a company wishing to expand its business. Two types of borrowing are examined: fixed loan and fixed principal loan, for each currency. Regression analysis and forecsting are used to determine the rupiah exchange rate for borrowed dollars. The results show that for both currencies, it is more profitable for a company to choose to borrow using the fixed loan compared to the fixed principal loan. From the point of view of interest rates, it is more profitable to borrow dollars because the US dollar interest rate is lower, but from the point of view of total payment in rupiah, it is clear that borrowing in rupiah is more profitable rather than US dollars. This is caused by the fact that a company choosing to borrow dollars will face exchange rate risk. Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia : Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan sumber dana pinjaman rupiah atau dolar US yang lebih menguntungkan perusahaan. Dua bentuk pinjaman yang diteliti adalah Fixed Loan serta pinjaman angsuran tetap untuk masing-masing mata uang. Analisa regresi dan forecasting digunakan untuk menentukan nilai tukar rupiah dalam dolar US untuk pinjaman dolar. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa untuk kedua mata uang, sebuah perusahaan lebih beruntung kalau memilih pinjaman yang dihitung dengan jenis Fixed Loan dibanding dengan jenis hitungan pinjaman angsuran tetap. Dari sudut bunga, memang lebih menguntungkan jika memilih pinjaman dolar US karena bunganya lebih kecil, tetapi jika dilihat dari sudut total pembayaran dalam rupiah, ternyata pinjaman rupiah lebih menguntungkan daripada pinjaman dolar US. Hal ini disebabkan karena jika memilih pinjaman dolar US, perusahaan akan menghadapi risiko nilai tukar. Kata kunci: pinjaman, bunga, kurs, rupiah, dolar, regresi

Pengaruh Struktur Modal, Biaya Ekuitas, Dan Kebijakan Dividen Terhadap Nilai Perusahaan Pada Badan USAha Milik Negara (Bumn) Yang Terdaftar Di Bursa Efek Indonesia

Source of corporate funding is essential to the operations of a firm. The problem that often arises is how companies choose the capital structure that could maximise the firm value but still pay attention to the wishes of investors and creditors to take advantage of the provision of funds through equity capital and debt capital. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of capital structure, cost of equity, and dividend policy on the firm value at State Owned Enterprises (BUMN) that are listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The population in this study are all state-owned enterprises listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange with a study period of 2009 to 2014, totaling 20 companies. Samples were selected using purposive sampling method amounted to 13 companies. The analytical method used multiple linear regression analysis and will be processed first with using classic assumption test. As for the processing of research data using SPSS version 23.0. The test results simultaneously (F test) the capital structure, the cost of equity, and dividend policy have impact on the firm value of state-owned companies in Indonesia. After the partial test (t test), capital structure has negative impact on the firm value, but the cost of equity and dividend policy concluded no impact on firm value

Hubungan Antara Pola Asuh Orang Tua Dengan Kecenderungan Locus of Control Remaja Sltp Negeri 8 Malalayang

: This study aimed to determine a possible link between parenting parents with a predisposition locus of control teens SLTP 8 Manado. The purpose of this paper is to obtain information through empirical data, the relationship of each parenting parents (permissive, authoritharian, authoritative, neglectful) with locus of control teens and get an idea of the locus of control teens SLTP 8 Manado and get an overview of locus of control SLTP 8 Manado. Locus of control is a belief in everyday life. Locus of control one often seen on the way we discript sense of causality that is relatively consistent. Various studies have shown that those who have a tendency internal locus of control are more successful pay attention, more selective towards stimulus, as well as more selective about the task, rather than those who tend to be external, individuals with a tendency external locus of control tend to have confidence. Thus the tendency of individuals with an internal locus of control more have more positive aspects in comparison with the external
