  • Electronic Interactions in Semiconductor Quantum Dots and Quantum Point Contacts
    Electronic Interactions in Semiconductor Quantum Dots and Quantum Point Contacts A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Physics of the College of Arts and Sciences by Tai-Min Liu M. S. National Chung Cheng University, Chia-Yi, Taiwan B. S. National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei, Taiwan July 2011 Committee Chair: Andrei Kogan, Ph.D. Abstract We report several detailed experiments on electron transport through Quantum Point Contacts (QPCs) and lateral Quantum Dots (QDs), created in a Single-Electron Transistor (SET). In the experiment for QPCs, we present a zero-bias peak (ZBP) in the differential conductance, G, which splits in an external magnetic field. The observed splitting closely matches the Zeeman energy and shows very little dependence on gate voltage, suggesting that the mechanism responsible for the formation of the peak involves electron spin. We also show that the mechanism that leads to the formation of the ZBP is different from the conventional Kondo effect found in QDs. [1] In the second experiment, we present transport measurements of a QD in a spin-flip cotunneling regime and a quantitative comparison of the data to the microscopic theory by Lehman and Loss. The differential conductance is measured in the presence of an in-plane Zeeman field. We focus on the ratio of the nonlinear G at bias voltages exceeding the Zeeman threshold to G for those below the threshold. The data show good quantitative agreement with the theory with no adjustable parameters.

  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2

  • The History of Playing Cards
    tv THE HISTORY PLAYING CARDS, WITH guttcimits of ijjtir xtst in CONJURING, FORTUNE-TELLING, AND CARD-SHARPING. Ike. hlsiov. EDITED BT THE LATE Rev. Ed. S. TAYLOR, B.A. AND OTHERS. LONDON : JOHN CAMDEN HOTTEN, PICCADILLY. 1865. n/^ /•" TWO CARICATURE CARDS FROM A PACK FORMERLY BELONGING TO THE LATE COUNT d'oRS AY. PREFACE. Five years ago I pin-chased from an eminent French publisher some tasteful wood-engravings, illustrative of the History of Playing Cards. These, with the small work in which they originally appeared, were placed in the hands of the late Rev. Ed. S. Taylor, of Onnesby St. Margaret, Great Yarmouth, as mate rial for a History of Playing Cards, English and Foreign, which he had offered to undertake for me. The readers of Notes and Queries will remember this gen tleman as the valued contributor of many curious articles to that useful periodical. His knowledge was wide and varied, although his tastes were of that peculiar kind which delights in the careful exploration of the bye-ways, rather than the high roads, of learning. The first part of the work was soon in the printers' hands, but ill-health followed, and the book proceeded slowly up to the time of the Editor's decease, two years ago. It was deemed necessary to mention this fact, as some of the references are to matters long since passed, although they are stated as of the present day. IV PREFACE. To tlie French Illustrations have been added several facsimiles of old cards from the Print-room in the British Museum, and other sources.
