AIP Publishing Partners with MathJax

AIP online journals now offer MathJax to display mathematics

AIP Publishing has become a MathJax Partner, providing major funding to the MathJax initiative, and now offers MathJax to render mathematics in its online journals. MathJax is an open-source JavaScript display engine that produces high-quality math in all modern browsers, without plugins or other special set-up requirements.

To see MathJax in action, visit your favorite APL article and select the Read Online option. Once in the HTML view, go to the navigation bar and turn on MathJax. From there you can copy and paste any equation into your favorite MathML-enabled editor.

Two-dimensional electron gas related emissions in ZnMgO/ZnO heterostructures

Hui Chen, Shulin Gu, Jiagao Liu, Jiandong Ye, Kun Tang, Shunming Zhu, and Youdou Zheng

Radiative recombination of two-dimensional electron gas, induced by polarization and validated by Hall effect measurements, is investigated in ZnMgO/ZnO heterostructures grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition.

Sensory and short-term memory formations observed in a Ag2S gap-type atomic switch

Takeo Ohno, Tsuyoshi Hasegawa, Alpana Nayak, Tohru Tsuruoka, James K. Gimzewski, and Masakazu Aono

Memorization in an Ag2S atomic switch was investigated as a function of the amplitude and width of input voltage pulses. After a certain number of Vin, the conductance increased abruptly followed by a gradual decrease, indicating the formation of short-term memory. We found that the probability of STM formation depends strongly on the amplitude and width of Vin, which resembles the learning behavior of the human brain.

Photo-induced spin filtering in a double quantum dot

J. Wätzel, A. S. Moskalenko, and J. Berakdar

The authors analytically show that applying the appropriate pulses, specified here, allows a spin separation on a femtosecond time scale in the sense that states with a desired spin projection are localized mainly on one of the dots. It is shown how to maintain in time this photo-induced spin-dependent filtering.
