This review article deals with the growth mechanism and mass production of carbon nanotubes
(CNTs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Different aspects of CNT synthesis and …

… by calculating the Hall conductivity of a 2D electron system of size L Â L in perpendicular
magnetic fields, where the electric field E and the magnetic field B are applied along the y- and …

In the field of spintronics, researchers have manipulated magnetization using spin-polarized
currents 1 , 2 , 3 . Another option is to use a voltage-induced symmetry change in a …

To optimize the bulk-insulating behavior in the topological insulator materials having a
tetradymite structure, we have synthesized and have characterized single-crystal samples of Bi 2…

This review elaborates pedagogically on the fundamental concept, basic theory, expected
properties, and materials realizations of topological superconductors. The relation between …

Transthyretin amyloidosis is a progressive and eventually fatal disease primarily
characterized by sensory, motor, and autonomic neuropathy and/or cardiomyopathy. Given its …

A topological insulator is an unusual quantum state of matter, characterized by the
appearance, at its edges or on its surface, of a gapless metallic state that is protected by time-reversal …

… , 6.6 cannot be simply due to the orthorhombicity nor the chain conductivity; therefore, we
are forced to admit that the growth of ra rb with decreasing y is caused by a self-organization of …

… of a sample for which y = 0, shows fewer defect layers than Fig. 4b, for which y = 0.1. Moreover,
… The reason why even a sample with a starting composition of y = 0 is slightly defective is …

A topological superconductor (TSC) is characterized by the topologically protected gapless
surface state that is essentially an Andreev bound state consisting of Majorana fermions. …
