Electrical transport through 60 base pairs of poly(dG)-poly(dC) DNA molecules
We report electrical transport through 60 base pairs of poly(dG)-poly(dC) DNA molecules. The DNA solution is dropped on two metal electrodes with the gap of 20 nm. The current–voltage characteris...

Solid-state halogen atom source for chemical dynamics and etching
We describe a solid-state Br atom source for surface etching, kinetics, and reaction dynamics studies. Pulsed laser irradiation of crystalline KBr, near the bulk absorption threshold at 6 eV, produces...

Refractive-index-modulated volume-type gratings were holographically encoded inside pure SiO2 glass plates by a single chirped (0.5–5 ps duration) laser pulse generated from a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser (wavelength ~800 nm, emission pulse duration ~100 fs). Scanning-electron- and confocal-optical-microscopic observations revealed that microgratings were formed inside the sample at a depth of ~5 mm from the top surface. Also, inside the SiO2 glass, three-dimensional periodic arrays of the grating and crossed-grating structures were fabricated. The present technique is a fast method that is applicable not only for encoding volume-type gratings inside all nonphotosensitive transparent dielectric materials, but also for fabricating optical devices such as distributed-feedback lasers and multilayered memories. ©2002 American Institute of Physics.
