Electron transport in mesoscopic conductors has traditionally involved investigations of the mean current and the fluctuations of the current. A complementary view on charge transport is provided by the distribution of waiting times between charge carriers, but a proper theoretical framework for coherent electronic systems has so far been lacking. Here we develop a quantum theory of electron wa...

We present a fast and versatile algorithm for the reconstruction of the grain structure from 2d and 3d Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) data. The algorithm is rigorously derived from the modeling assumption that grain boundaries are located at the bisectors of adjacent measurement locations. This modeling assumption immediately implies that grains are composed of Voronoi cells correspon...

We provide a theoretical description of the dynamics of a liquid film perturbed by a nano-object. Our analysis is based on the general dispersion relation for surface perturbations which is valid for films of arbitrary thickness. In the case of thin liquid films the lubrication approximation is retrieved. The relevant time scales are derived and related to the characteristic length scales prese...

Sub-oxide-to-metallic highly-crystalline nanowires with uniformly distributed nanopores in the 3 nm range have been synthesized by a unique combination of the plasma oxidation, re-deposition and electron-beam reduction. Electron beam exposure-controlled oxide → sub-oxide → metal transition is explained using a non-equilibrium model.

the semi-classical model of atom-field interaction has been fully studied for some multilevel atoms, e.g. vee, l, cascade x , y, and inverted y and so on. this issue is developed into the full-quantum electrodynamics formalism, where the probe and coupling electromagnetic fields are quantized. in this article, we investigate the full-quantum model of absorption and dispersion spectrum of trappe...

We find no physical basis for traditional mass-fraction weighted averaging of X-ray continuum measured in pure elements to estimate continuum production from compounds. Measurements of continuum from pairs of stable isotopes demonstrate that mass alone (the presence of more or fewer neutrons) has no effect on continuum production in electron probe microanalysis. Electron-fraction weighted avera...
