Comparison between charge and spin transport in few layer graphene

T. Maassen, F. K. Dejene, M. H. D. Guimarães +2

Transport measurements on few layer graphene (FLG) are important as they interpolate between the properties of single layer graphene (SLG) as a true 2-dimensional material and the…

Fine tuning epitaxial strain in ferroelectrics: PbxSr(1-x)TiO3 on DyScO3

Gijsbert Rispens, Jeroen A. Heuver, Beatriz Noheda

Epitaxial strain can be used to modify the properties of ferroelectric thin films. From the experimental viewpoint, the challenge is to fine-tune the magnitude of the strain. We il…

Switching Casimir forces with Phase Change Materials

G. Torricelli, P. J. van Zwol, O. Shpak +4

We demonstrate here a controllable variation in the Casimir force. Changes in the force of up to 20% at separations of ~100 nm between Au and AgInSbTe (AIST) surfaces were achieved…

Proposal for an interference experiment to test the applicability of quantum theory to event-based processes

K. Michielsen, Th. Lippert, M. Richter +3

We analyze a single-particle Mach-Zehnder interferometer experiment in which the path length of one arm may change (randomly or systematically) according to the value of an externa…

Spin injection and perpendicular spin transport in graphite nanostructures

T. Banerjee, W. G. van der Wiel, R. Jansen

Organic and carbon-based materials are attractive for spintronics because their small spin-orbit coupling and low hyperfine interaction is expected to give rise to large spin-relax…
