    Intrinsic thermal vibrations of suspended doubly clamped single-wall carbon nanotubes

    Full text link
    We report the observation of thermally driven mechanical vibrations of suspended doubly clamped carbon nanotubes, grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Several experimental procedures are used to suspend carbon nanotubes. The vibration is observed as a blurring in images taken with a scanning electron microscope. The measured vibration amplitudes are compared with a model based on linear continuum mechanics.Comment: pdf including figures, see: http://www.unibas.ch/phys-meso/Research/Papers/2003/NT-Thermal-Vibrations.pd

    A role for the prefrontal cortex in stress- and cocaine-induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking in rats

    Full text link
    It is well established that stress induces reinstatement of drug seeking in an animal model of relapse. Here we studied the role of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in foot-shock stress-induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/46355/1/213_2002_Article_1283.pd
