Emission Optics of the Steigerwald Type Electron Gun
The emission optics of a Steigerwald type electron gun is re-examined. The
virtual and real points of divergence, divergence angles and beam-widths of the
electron beams at different telefocusing strength are measured in detail for
first time . Two different Wehnelt cylinders are used to establish a
contrasting viewpoint. The original `focusing' curves measured by Braucks are
reconstructed and will be explained only through a `new' interpretation which
is different from the conventional views. While the image of the emitting
surface in front of the filament is indeed telefocused beyond the anode, the
envelope of the beam does not `focus' as expected. A new model for the emission
mechanism is established based on our results.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figure
Composite-fermion crystallites in quantum dots
The correlations in the ground state of interacting electrons in a
two-dimensional quantum dot in a high magnetic field are known to undergo a
qualitative change from liquid-like to crystal-like as the total angular
momentum becomes large. We show that the composite-fermion theory provides an
excellent account of the states in both regimes. The quantum mechanical
formation of composite fermions with a large number of attached vortices
automatically generates omposite fermion crystallites in finite quantum dots.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Evolution of population with sexual and asexual reproduction in changing environment
Using a lattice model based on Monte Carlo simulations, we study the role of
the reproduction pattern on the fate of an evolving population. Each individual
is under the selection pressure from the environment and random mutations. The
habitat ("climate") is changing periodically. Evolutions of populations
following two reproduction patterns are compared, asexual and sexual. We show,
via Monte Carlo simulations, that sexual reproduction by keeping more
diversified populations gives them better chances to adapt themselves to the
changing environment. However, in order to obtain a greater chance to mate, the
birth rate should be high. In the case of low birth rate and high mutation
probability there is a preference for the asexual reproduction.Comment: 11 pages including figs., for Int. J. Mod. Phys. C 15, issue 2 (2004
Half integer quantum Hall effect in high mobility single layer epitaxial graphene
The quantum Hall effect, with a Berry's phase of is demonstrated here
on a single graphene layer grown on the C-face of 4H silicon carbide. The
mobility is 20,000 cm/Vs at 4 K and ~15,000 cm/Vs
at 300 K despite contamination and substrate steps. This is comparable to the
best exfoliated graphene flakes on SiO and an order of magnitude larger
than Si-face epitaxial graphene monolayers. These and other properties indicate
that C-face epitaxial graphene is a viable platform for graphene-based
electronics.Comment: Some modifications in the text and figures, 7 pages, 2 figure
Magnetothermoelectric transport in modulated and unmodulated graphene
We draw motivation from recent experimental studies and present a
comprehensive study of magnetothermoelectric transport in a graphene monolayer
within the linear response regime. We employ the modified Kubo formalism
developed for thermal transport in a magnetic field. Thermopower as well as
thermal conductivity as a function of the gate voltage of a graphene monolayer
in the presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the graphene plane is
determined for low magnetic fields (~1 Tesla) as well as high fields (~8
Tesla). We include the effects of screened charged impurities on thermal
transport. We find good, qualitative as well as quantitative, agreement with
recent experimental work on the subject. In addition, in order to analyze the
effects of modulation, which can be induced by various means, on the thermal
transport in graphene, we evaluate the thermal transport coefficients for a
graphene monolayer subjected to a periodic electric modulation in a magnetic
field. The results are presented as a function of the magnetic field and the
gate voltage.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figure
