In-chain tunneling through charge-density-wave nanoconstrictions and break junctions (2006)
O'Neil, K., Slot, E., Thorne, R.E., Van Der Zant, H.S.J.
In-Chain Tunneling Through Charge-Density Wave Nanoconstrictions and Break-Junctions (2005)
O'Neill, K., Slot, E., Thorne, R. E., Van Der Zant, H. S. J.
We have fabricated longitudinal nanoconstrictions in the charge-density wave conductor (CDW) NbSe$_{3}$ using a focused ion beam and using a mechanically controlled break-junction technique....
Crossover from two-dimensional to one-dimensional collective pinning in NbSe3 (2004)
Slot, E., Van Der Zant, H.S.J., O?Neill, K., Thorne, R.E.
Measurement of the shear strength of a charge-density wave (2003)
O'Neill, K., Cicak, K., Thorne, R. E.
We have explored the shear plasticity of charge density waves (CDWs) in niobium triselenide samples with cross-sections having a single micro-fabricated thickness step. Shear stresses along the step...
Optical investigation of the charge-density-wave phase transitions in $NbSe_{3}$ (2003)
Perucchi, A., Degiorgi, L., Thorne, R. E.
We have measured the optical reflectivity $R(\omega)$ of the quasi one-dimensional conductor $NbSe_{3}$ from the far infrared up to the ultraviolet between 10 and 300 $K$ using light polarized along...
Crossover from 2-dimensional to 1-dimensional collective pinning in NbSe3 (2003)
Slot, E., Van Der Zant, H. S. J., O'Neill, K., Thorne, R. E.
We have fabricated NbSe$_3$ structures with widths comparable to the Fukuyama-Lee-Rice phase-coherence length. For samples already in the 2-dimensional pinning limit, we observe a crossover from...
Electric-field distribution near current contacts of anisotropic materials (2002)
Slot, E., Van Der Zant, H.S.J., Thorne, R.E.
Lemay, S. G., Thorne, R. E., Li, Y., Brock, J. D.
We have observed an unusual form of creep at low temperatures in the charge-density-wave (CDW) conductor NbSe$_3$. This creep develops when CDW motion becomes limited by thermally-activated phase...
Sound Velocity and Elasticity of Tetragonal Lysozyme Crystals by Brillouin Spectroscopy
Speziale, S., Jiang, F., Caylor, C. L., Kriminski, S., Zha, C.-S., Thorne, R. E., ...
Quasilongitudinal sound velocities and the second-order elastic moduli of tetragonal hen egg-white lysozyme crystals were determined as a function of relative humidity (RH) by Brillouin scattering....
