The energy spectrum of electrons produced in molecular gas by interstellar cosmic rays (CRs) is rigorously calculated as a function of gas column density $N$ traversed by the CRs. This allows us to accurately compute the local value of the…

The one-dimensional nanostructures have been used as the electrode to decrease the operation voltage where strong electric field is needed to function the device in the gaseous electronics. In this letter, a novel electrode scheme is…

Experimental evidences reported in this letter show that the gas ionization induced positive charge accumulation can lead to the electron field emission from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in an electrode system with proper range of gap spacing,…

To determine the properties of the ionized gas at the edge of the CMZ near Sgr E we observed a small portion of the edge of the CMZ near Sgr E with spectrally resolved [C II] 158 micron and [N II] 205 micron fine structure lines at six…

We recently found that streaming cosmic rays (CRs) induce a resistive electric field that can accelerate secondary electrons produced by CR ionization. In this work, we study the evolution of the energy spectrum of secondary electrons by…

Oxide heterostructures are versatile platforms with which to research and create novel functional nanostructures. We successfully develop one-dimensional (1D) quantum-wire devices using quantum point contacts on MgZnO/ZnO heterostructures…

We show that the secondary electrons ejected from the ionization of heavy ions can be injected into the acceleration process that occurs at supernova remnant shocks. This electron injection mechanism works since ions are ionized during the…

We report a significant and persistent enhancement of the conductivity in free-standing non intentionnaly doped InAs nanowires upon irradiation in ultra high vacuum. Combining four-point probe transport measurements performed on nanowires…

We discuss properties of strongly correlated two-dimensional electron gas in semiconductor layers at low electron concentrations assuming that the electron liquid is close to crystalization. Analogy with the theory of 3He is emphasized.

A theoretical study of the electronic properties of nanodisks and nanocones is presented within the framework of a tight-binding scheme. The electronic densities of states and absorption coefficients are calculated for such structures with…

An atypical electrical behavior of WS2 nanosheets deposited on Cu electrodes is reported here. The characteristic Raman peaks at 355cm-1 and 421.8cm-1 confirm the few-layer structure of WS2. The addition of heavy metal ions of ~30 micro…

Absolute cross sections are measured for charge-exchange, ionization, and excitation within the same experimental setup for the Li$^{+}-$Ar, K$^{+}-$ Ar, and Na$^{+}-$ He collisions in the ion energy range $0.5-10$ keV. Results of our…

Diffuse interstellar clouds show large abundances of H_3^+ which can be maintained only by a high ionization rate of H_2. Cosmic rays are the dominant ionization mechanism in this environment, so the large ionization rate implies a high…

In this paper, density functional theory calculations are used to explore the electronic and atomic reconstruction at interfaces between III-III/I-V oxides. In particular, at these interfaces, two dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) with…

In the work described here we investigate atomic processes leading to the formation of emission lines within the IRIS wavelength range at temperatures near $10^5$~K. We focus on (1) non-equilibrium and (2) density-dependent effects…

In electronic devices where a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) comprises one or both sides of a plane capacitor, the resulting capacitance $C$ can be larger than the "geometric capacitance" $C_g$ determined by the physical separation $d$…

The energies of cosmic rays, fully ionized charged nuclei, extend over a wide range up to 10^20 eV. A particularly interesting energy region spans from 10^14 to 10^18 eV, where the all-particle energy spectrum exhibits two interesting…

The electronic properties and nanostructure of InAs nanowires are correlated by creating multiple field effect transistors (FETs) on nanowires grown to have low and high defect density segments. 4.2 K carrier mobilities are ~4X larger in…

The nanofabrication technology has taught us that an $m$-dimensional confining potential imposed upon an $n$-dimensional electron gas paves the way to a quasi-($n-m$)-dimensional electron gas, with $m \le n$ and $1\le n, m \le 3$. This is…

While photoionization rates of Ganymede's O$_2$ dominated atmosphere are well constrained, the contribution of electron-impact ionization is rather uncertain. Previous quantitative estimates have relied on assumptions about densities and…
