We consider the magnetic field induced by the steady or the quasi-steady electric currents that flow along the straight wires, which are equidistantly arranged on the hyperboloid. The spatial distribution of the magnetic field and the force…
Four-terminal resistance measurements have been carried out on Zn nanowires formed using electron-beam lithography. When driven resistive by current, these wires re-enter the superconducting state upon application of small magnetic fields.…
The correspondence between the steady state theory of current transfer and scattering theory in a system of coupled tight-binding models of 1-dimensional wires is explored. For weak interwire coupling both calculations give nearly identical…
We examine the effects of disorder in one-dimensional systems. We link the case of a few impurities, typical of a short quantum wire, to that of a finite density of scatterers more appropriate for a long wire or a macroscopic system.…
Electrohydrodynamic modeling and experimental observations indicate that the ion evaporation current emitted by passively-fed electrospray sources is independent of the electrical conductivity of the ionic liquid. This contrasts with…

Diffuse intensities in the electron diffraction patterns of concentrated face-centered cubic solid solutions have been widely attributed to chemical short-range order, although this connection has been recently questioned. This article…
The current-voltage characteristics of thin wires are often observed to be nonlinear, and this behavior has been ascribed to Schottky barriers at the contacts. We present electronic transport measurements on GaN nanorods and demonstrate…
A finite equilibrium current density arises in the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) as a result of time-reversal symmetry breaking, affecting both the differential current density and total current. This study illustrates the equilibrium current…
The Aharonov-Bohm scattering of charged particles by the magnetic field of an infinitely long and infinitely thin solenoid (magnetic string) in an absorbing medium is studied. We discuss the partial-wave approach to this problem and show…

High frequency oscillations are observed in a neon plasma of a direct current magnetron discharge. At low discharge currents, we see highly coherent 60 MHz fluctuations. Above a distinct current threshold, secondary 5 - 10 MHz fluctuations…
When subject to a weak magnetic impurity distribution, the order parameter and quasi-particle energy gap of a weakly disordered bulk s-wave superconductor are suppressed. In the Born scattering limit, recent investigations have shown that…
We study weakly disordered quantum wires whose width is large compared to the Fermi wavelength. It is conjectured that such wires diplay universal metallic behaviour as long as their length is shorter than the localization length (which…
