A Diaz--Metcalf type inequality for positive linear maps and its applications

We present a Diaz--Metcalf type operator inequality as a reverse Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and then apply it to get the operator versions of Pólya-Szegö's, Greub-Rheinboldt's, Kantorovich's, Shisha-Mond's, Schweitzer's, Cassels' and Klamkin-McLenaghan's inequalities via a unified approach. We also give some operator Grüss type inequalities and an operator Ozeki-Izumino-Mori-Seo type inequality. Several applications are concluded as well.

Non-thermal origin of nonlinear transport across magnetically induced superconductor-metal-insulator transition

We have studied the effect of perpendicular magnetic fields and temperatures on the nonlinear electronic transport in amorphous Ta superconducting thin films. The films exhibit a magnetic field induced metallic behavior intervening the superconductor-insulator transition in the zero temperature limit. We show that the nonlinear transport in the superconducting and metallic phase is of non-thermal origin and accompanies an extraordinarily long voltage response time.

Formation, Manipulation, and Elasticity Measurement of a Nanometric Column of Water Molecules

Nanometer-sized columns of condensed water molecules are created by an atomic-resolution force microscope operated in ambient conditions. Unusual stepwise decrease of the force gradient associated with the thin water bridge in the tip-substrate gap is observed during its stretch, exhibiting regularity in step heights (~0.5 N/m) and plateau lengths (~1 nm). Such "quantized" elasticity is indicative of the atomic-scale stick-slip at the tip-water interface. A thermodynamic-instability-induced rupture of the water meniscus (5-nm long and 2.6-nm wide) is also found. This work opens a high-resolution study of the structure and the interface dynamics of a nanometric aqueous column.

ZEPLIN IV: A 1-Ton Very Sensitive ZEPLIN II Extension for SUSY Dark Matter

We present a concept of a one ton two-phase liquid Xenon detector based on the concept of the ZEPLIN II detector currently under construction by a UCLA/Torino/UKDM team. The ZEPLIN II detector may be installed in the Boulby laboratory early in 2002. The one ton detector design will benefit from the initial operations of ZEPLIN II.
