The use of resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS) to study and characterize single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is discussed, focusing on preliminary efforts for the development of the RRS to characterize defects in SWNTs. The disorder-induced D-band, disorder-induced peaks just above the first-order allowed graphite G-band, as well as the intermediate frequency modes (IFMs) appearing between the RBM and the D/G spectral region are addressed. RRS on nanographite ribbons and on a step-like defect in highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) sheds light into the problem of characterizing specific defects in nano-related carbons.

Electromigration experiments have been carried out on simple Cu dual-damascene interconnect tree structures consisting of straight via-to-via (or contact-to-contact) lines with an extra via in the middle of the line. As with Al-based interconnects, the reliability of a segment in this tree strongly depends on the stress conditions of the connected segment. Beyond this, there are important differences in the results obtained under similar test conditions for Al-based and Cu-based interconnect trees. These differences are thought to be associated with variations in the architectural schemes of the two metallizations. The absence of a conducting electromigrationresistant overlayer in Cu technology, and the possibility of liner rupture at stressed vias lead to significant differences in tree reliabilities in Cu compared to Al.

After the first measurements of the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) drift between successive pulses from a Ti:Sapphire oscillator were obtained by time-domain cross-correlation, several techniques for the detection and stabilization of the CEP of femtosecond laser pulses have been developed. These methods represent an essential tool for applications where CEP-stabilized pulses are required, such as attosecond science, frequency metrology, precision spectroscopy and extreme nonlinear optics.
We focus on a particular form of network coding, reverse carpooling, in a wireless network where the potentially coded transmitted messages are to be decoded immediately upon reception. The network is fixed and known,...

The electron-phonon coupling in two-dimensional graphite (graphene sheet) and metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is analyzed. In the graphene sheet the G-band phonon mode induces oscillations of the Fermi points, while the G′-band phonon mode opens a dynamical (oscillating with the phonon frequency) band gap, and accordingly, both phonon modes exhibit Kohn anomalies. Similarly, truly metallic armchair SWNTs undergo Peierls transitions driven by the G−- and G′-band phonon modes both of which open a dynamical band gap. In addition, the dynamical band gap induces a non-linear dependence of the phonon frequencies on the doping level and gives rise to strong anharmonic effects in the graphene sheet and metallic SWNTs.

The membranes of human red blood cells (RBCs) are a composite of a fluid lipid bilayer and a triangular network of semiflexible filaments (spectrin). We perform cellular microrheology using the dynamic membrane fluctuations of the RBCs to extract the elastic moduli of this composite membrane. By applying known osmotic stresses, we measure the changes in the elastic constants under imposed strain and thereby determine the nonlinear elastic properties of the membrane. We find that the elastic nonlinearities of the shear modulus in tensed RBC membranes can be well understood in terms of a simple wormlike chain model. Our results show that the elasticity of the spectrin network can mostly account for the area compression modulus at physiological osmolality, suggesting that the lipid bilayer has significant excess area. As the cell swells, the elastic contribution from the now tensed lipid membrane becomes dominant.
