Entropy Revisited: the Plausible Role of Gravitation
Eshel Ben-Jacob, Ziv Hermon, Alexsander Shnirman
We first present open questions related to the foundations of thermodynamics and statistical physics. We then argue that in principle one can not have "closed systems", and that a…
DNA - Nanoelectronics: Realization of a Single Electron Tunneling Transistor and a Quantum Bit Element
Eshel Ben-Jacob, Ziv Hermon, Shay Caspi
Based on the understanding that chemical bonds can act as tunnel junctions in the Coulomb blockade regime, and on the technical ability to coat a DNA strand with metal, we suggest…
Do Topological Charge Solitons Participate in DNA Activity?
Ziv Hermon, Shay Caspi, Eshel Ben-Jacob
We present a novel electromagnetic model of DNA molecules, in which the P-bonds act as tunnel junctions and the H-bonds as capacitors. Excess charge in the model gives rise to two…
Quantum Manipulations of Small Josephson Junctions
Alexander Shnirman, Gerd Schoen, Ziv Hermon
Low-capacitance Josephson junction arrays in the parameter range where single charges can be controlled are suggested as possible physical realizations of the elements which have b…
Integer and fractional charge solitons in modulated strips in the fractional quantum Hall regime
Eshel Ben-Jacob, Francisco Guinea, Ziv Hermon +1
We propose the existence and study the solitonic excitations in two kinds of samples in the fractional quantum Hall regime. One is a strip modulated by a one-dimensional array of g…
Charge Solitons in 1-D Arrays of Serially Coupled Josephson Junctions
Ziv Hermon, Eshel Ben-Jacob, Gerd Schön
We study a 1-D array of Josephson coupled superconducting grains with kinetic inductance which dominates over the Josephson inductance. In this limit the dynamics of excess Cooper…
