Sustainably Grown: The Underdog Robots of the Future
Stoyan K. Smoukov
It is hard to imagine with the progress in robotics that current approaches are lacking somewhere, yet they will not be applicable to the majority of robots in the near future. We…
Emergence of colloidal patterns in AC electrical fields
Florian Katzmeier, Bernhard Altaner, Jonathan List +2
Suspended microparticles subjected to AC electrical fields collectively organize into band patterns perpendicular to the field direction. The bands further develop into zigzag shap…
DNA origami
Swarup Dey, Chunhai Fan, Kurt V. Gothelf +9
Biological materials are self-assembled with near-atomic precision in living cells, whereas synthetic 3D structures generally lack such precision and controllability. Recently, DNA…
DNA-based Self-Assembly of Chiral Plasmonic Nanostructures with Tailored Optical Response
Anton Kuzyk, Robert Schreiber, Zhiyuan Fan +6
Surface plasmon resonances generated in metallic nanostructures can be utilized to tailor electromagnetic fields. The precise spatial arrangement of such structures can result in s…
Quantitative analysis of single particle trajectories: mean maximal excursion method
Vincent Tejedor, Olivier Benichou, Raphael Voituriez +5
An increasing number of experimental studies employ single particle tracking to probe the physical environment in complex systems. We here propose and discuss new methods to analyz…
Optoelectronic properties of a photosystem I - carbon nanotube hybrid system
Simone Kaniber, Friedrich Simmel, Alexander Holleitner +1
The photoconductance properties of photosystem I (PSI) covalently bound to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are measured. We demonstrate that the PSI forms active electronic junctions with…
Covalently Binding the Photosystem I to Carbon Nanotubes
S. Kaniber, L. Frolov, F. C. Simmel +3
We present a chemical route to covalently couple the photosystem I (PS I) to carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Small linker molecules are used to connect the PS I to the CNTs. Hybrid system…
Determination of the complex microwave photoconductance of a single quantum dot
H. Qin, F. Simmel, R. H. Blick +3
A small quantum dot containing approximately 20 electrons is realized in a two-dimensional electron system of an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure. Conventional transport and microwave s…
Nano-ploughed Josephson Junctions as on-chip Radiation Sources
B. Irmer, F. Simmel, R. H. Blick +4
A new technique is presented which enables the fabrication of highly transparent Josephson junctions in combination with mesoscopic devices. We utilize a modified AFM tip to plough…
Anomalous Kondo-effect in Quantum Dot at non-zero bias
F. Simmel, R. H. Blick, J. P. Kotthaus +2
We present measurements on the Kondo-effect in a small quantum dot connected strongly to one lead and weakly to the other. The conductance of the dot reveals an offset of the Kondo…
Josephson Junctions defined by a Nano-Plough
B. Irmer, R. H. Blick, F. Simmel +3
We define superconducting constrictions by ploughing a deposited Aluminum film with a scanning probe microscope. The microscope tip is modified by electron beam deposition to form…
Statistics of conductance oscillations of a quantum dot in the Coulomb-blockade regime
F. Simmel, T. Heinzel, D. A. Wharam
The fluctuations and the distribution of the conductance peak spacings of a quantum dot in the Coulomb-blockade regime are studied and compared with the predictions of random matri…
