We aim to keep the content at as high a level of interest as before, but with the ability to try out some experiments. In this edition, we experiment with instructions for an origami Kapitsa crocodile, with a suitable “brick” effect insert, inspired by the DNA origami described by Ulrich Keyser in CavMag 9 and in a further essay in this issue by Kerstin Göpfrich. Be warned, this is a significant paper-folding challenge! We always welcome suggestions for interesting articles and for information about alumni, their distinctions and achievements. On behalf of everyone in the Cavendish, we wish readers a Very Happy and Prosperous 2015.

  • Dimensionality Transitions in Group III–V Semiconductors
    Dimensionality transitions in group III{V semiconductors Guang Zhu Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering University College London Dissertation submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Sir Michael Pepper Aug, 2016 I declare all the results done in this thesis is my own work, except where has clearly indicated in the text. Guang Zhu Aug 2016 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Prof. Sir Michael Pepper for giving me this great opportunity to work and study in the field of quantum transport in University College London. He has given me great supports not only in academic aspects, but also in personal life. I am inspired by him during the whole time. I am greatly thankful to Dr. Sanjeev Kumar from our group, who gave me advises in data acquisition of low dimensional transport research. He taught me how to set up measurements step by step, with great of enthusiasm and patients. He also shared experiences to every members in the group and troubleshoot with us when anyone struggled in their experiments. No measurements could be done without the devices. I, therefore, greatly indebted to Dr.Ian Farrer for growing plenty of world class wafer, and Dr.Gra- ham Creeth, who made the excellent devices for me to give me chance to explore the fascinating quantum world. Dr.Graham Creeth also gave me a demonstration in fabricating nano-scale devices, with the assist of Dr.David English, which enlightened me in fabricating devices. I would also like to express my gratitude to Mr.Henry Montague and Mr.Chengyu Yan, who are PhD students in our group.
