Superconductivity in Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes
Proximity effect and nonlocal transport
Language: English
Release Date: October 2, 2013
The unique electronic band structure of graphene gives rise to remarkable properties when in contact with a superconducting electrode. In this thesis two main aspects of these junctions are analyzed: the induced superconducting proximity effect and the non-local transport properties in multi-terminal...
Resonance Effects of Excitons and Electrons
Basics and Applications
Language: English
Release Date: June 1, 2013
This book presents the various types of resonance effects on excitons, biexcitons and the local electronic centers (LEC) in solids, such as paramagnetic and paraelectric resonances on excitons, exciton acoustic resonance at intra- and interband transitions, radio-optical double resonance on excitons,...
