Lithography-free Fabrication of High Quality Substrate-supported and Freestanding Graphene devices

We present a lithography-free technique for fabrication of clean, high quality graphene devices. This technique is based on evaporation through hard Si shadow masks, and eliminates contaminants introduced by lithographical processes. We demonstrate that devices fabricated by this technique have significantly higher mobility values than those by standard electron beam lithography. To obtain ultra-high mobility devices, we extend this technique to fabricate suspended graphene samples with mobility as high as 120,000 cm^2/Vs.

Spatial mapping of the Dirac point in monolayer and bilayer graphene

We have mapped the Dirac point in exfoliated monolayer and bilayer graphene using spatially resolved scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements at low temperature. The Dirac point shifts in energy at different locations in graphene. However, a cross correlation with the topography shows no correlation indicating that topographic features such as ripples are not the primary source of the variation. Rather, we attribute the shift of the Dirac point to random charged impurities located near the graphene. Our findings emphasize the need to advance exfoliated graphene sample preparation to minimize the effect of impurities.

Mapping the Dirac point in gated bilayer graphene

We have performed low temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements on exfoliated bilayer graphene on SiO2. By varying the back gate voltage we observed a linear shift of the Dirac point and an opening of a band gap due to the perpendicular electric field. In addition to observing a shift in the Dirac point, we also measured its spatial dependence using spatially resolved scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The spatial variation of the Dirac point was not correlated with topographic features and therefore we attribute its shift to random charged impurities.

Pressure Effect on Superconductivity of Iron-based Arsenic-oxide ReFeAsO0.85 (Re=Sm and Nd)

Here we report pressure effect on superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of ReFeAsO0.85 (Re= Sm and Nd) system without fluorine doping. In-situ measurements under high pressure showed that Tc of the two compounds decrease monotonously over the pressure range investigated. The pressure coefficients dTc/dP in SmFeAsO0.85 and Nd FeAsO0.85 were different, revealing the important influence of the deformation in layers on Tc. Theoretical calculations suggested that the electron density of states decrease with increasing pressure, following the same trend of experimental data.

Absolute Branching Ratio of Beta-Delayed Gamma-Ray Emission of N18

The absolute branching ratio of the beta-delayed gamma-ray emission of N18 was measured, providing absolute normalization of the previous work by Olness et al. [J.W. Olness et al., Nuc. Phys. A373, 13 (1982)] who measured the relative branching ratios for the individual gamma-rays. We find the total absolute branching ratio for beta-delayed gamma emission of N18 to be 76.7 +/- 7.2(stat) +/- 5.8(norm)%. A combination of other results suggests a value consistent with our result, but smaller than that calculated by Millener as quoted in Olness et al.

Report of Snowmass 2001 Working Group E2 : Electron-positron Colliders from the $ϕ$ to the Z

We report on the status and plans of experiments now running or proposed for electron-positron colliders at energies between the $ϕ$ and the Z. The $e^{+}e^{-}$ B and charm factories we considered were PEP-II/BABAR, KEKB/Belle, superKEK, SuperBABAR, and CESR-c/CLEO-c. We reviewed the programs at the $ϕ$ factory at Frascati and the proposed PEP-N facility at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. We studied the prospects for B physics with a dedicated linear collider Z factory, associated with the TESLA high energy linear collider. In all cases, we compared the physics reach of these facilities with that of alternative experiments at hadron colliders or fixed target facilities.

A New Interpretation of Compensate Effect

A new interpretation of compensate effect is presented. The Hawking effect in general space-time can be taken as a compensate effect of the scale transformation of coordinate time on the horizon in generalized tortoise coordinates transformation. It is proved that the Hawking temperature is the pure gauge of compensate field in tortoise coordinates. This interpretation does not refer to a zero-temperature space-time.

The Location and Temperature of Event Horizon for General Black Hole via the Method of Damour-Ruffini-Zhao

In this paper, we investigate the general case of black hole on horizon by the method of Damour-Ruffini-Zhao. The proof of identification of the location of horizons determined both by Damour-Ruffini-Zhao's (D-R-Z) method and by equation of null super-surface is given. The formula of temperature on the horizon for general black holes is obtained and is successfully checked by a variety of models of black holes.

The Relation Between Technique of Conformal Flat and Damour-Ruffini-Zhao's Method

The relation between the technique of conformal flat and Damour-Ruffini-Zhao's method is investigated in this paper. It is pointed out that the two methods give the same results when the metric has the form $g_{αβ=0},$ with $α=0,1$ and $β=2,3$. It is indicated that the two methods are not equivalent for general case.
