Thermodynamics of Charge Regulation Near Surface Neutrality
Tal Obstbaum, Uri Sivan
The interaction between two adjacent charged surfaces immersed in aqueous solution is known to be affected by charge regulation - the modulation of surface charge as two charged su…
Hydrophobic repulsion and its origin
Itai Schlesinger, Uri Sivan
The fundamental role of hydrophobic interactions in nature and technology has motivated decades long research aimed at measuring the distance-dependent hydrophobic force and identi…
Short range attraction between two similarly charged silica surfaces
Ohad Zohar, Ilya Leizerson, Uri Sivan
Using an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) we measure the interaction between two identically charged silica surfaces in the presence of saline solution. For pure NaCl the interaction…
Comment on "Critical behavior of the Pauli spin susceptibility..." by A. A. Shashkin et. al
M. Reznikov, U. Sivan
The paper by A. A. Shashkin et al. [cond-mat/0409100] reports measurements of the thermodynamic magnetization of two-dimensional electrons in silicon. Although the experimental dat…
Optimal rotations of deformable bodies and orbits in magnetic fields
J. E. Avron, O. Gat, O. Kenneth +1
Deformations can induce rotation with zero angular momentum where dissipation is a natural ``cost function''. This gives rise to an optimization problem of finding the most effecti…
Two band transport and the question of a metal-insulator transition in GaAs/GaAlAs two dimensional holes
Yuval Yaish, Oleg Prus, Evgeny Buchstab +4
The magnetotransport of two dimensional holes in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure is studied experimentally and theoretically. Spin-orbit splitting of the heavy hole band is manifeste…
