متن کاملQuantum point contact microscopy.
We introduce quantum point contact microscopy (QPCM) as a novel method for surface characterization, where the conductance through a quantum point contact formed by a metal atom between the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope and the surface is mapped across the surface. Application of QPCM to copper and gold (111) shows reproducibly atomic resolution, on gold (111) the alternating atomic st...
متن کاملMicromachined Arch-type cantilever as high sensitivity uncooled infrared detector*
In this article, we discuss an uncooled infrared IR detector based on an “arch-type” design realized with advanced microelectromechanical systems technology. Bimaterial microcantilevers undergo bending as their temperature changes due to the absorption of infrared photons. The bending is proportional to dissimilar thermal expansion of the two different materials composing the cantilever. We sel...
متن کاملQuantum point contact in a compressible Quantum Hall liquid
We consider electron transport through a quantum point contact between compressible Quantum Hall liquids and derive the contact’s impedance function for both diffusive and ballistic regimes of the bulk electron motion. In either regime, the tunneling current deviates from a power-law behavior I ∼ V 1/ν expected on the basis of the single-mode chiral Luttinger liquid phenomenology.
متن کاملAn interferometric gravitational wave detector as a quantum-gravity apparatus
As a consequence of the extreme precision of the measurements it performs, a LIGO/VIRGO-type interferometric gravitational wave detector (IGWD) is a macroscopic apparatus for which quantum effects are not negligible. We observe that this property of IGWDs can be exploited to probe some aspects of the interface between Quantum Mechanics and Gravity. In particular, we find that IGWDs can test two...
