Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Neutrons arising from the breakup of a 30 MeV/nucleon C-19 beam on a tantalum target have been measured using the 98 element array DEMON. A narrow, forward peaked neutron angular distribution, with a corresponding momentum spread considerably smaller than those measured simultaneously for N-21, O-22 and F-24 was observed for charged fragments with Z

Factor VIII gene inversions in severe hemophilia A : Results of an international consortium study

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Twenty-two molecular diagnostic laboratories from 14 countries participated in a consortium study to estimate the impact of Factor VIII gene inversions in severe hemophilia A. A total of 2,093 patients with severe hemophilia A were studied; of those, 740 (35%) had a type 1 (distal) factor VIII inversion, and 140 (7%) showed a type 2 (proximal) inversion. In 25 cases, the molecular analysis showed additional abnormal or polymorphic patterns. Ninety-eight percent of 532 mothers of patients with inversions were carriers of the abnormal factor VIII gene; when only mothers of nonfamilial cases were studied, 9 de novo inversions in maternal germ cells ware observed among 225 cases (≃ 1 de novo maternal origin of the inversion in 25 mothers of sporadic cases). When the maternal grandparental origin was examined, the inversions occurred de novo in male germ cells in 69 cases and female germ cells in 1 case. The presence of factor VIII inversions is not a major predisposing factor for the development of factor VIII inhibitors; however, slightly more patients with severe hemophilia A and factor VIII inversions develop inhibitors (130 of 642 [20%]) than patients with severe hemophilia A without inversions (131 of 821 [16%]).

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We review the status of the AMANDA neutrino telescope. We present resultsobtained from the four-string prototype array AMANDA-B4 and describe themethods of track reconstruction and neutrino event separation. We give also firstresults of the analysis of the 10-string detector AMANDA-B10, in particular onatmospheric neutrinos and the search for magnetic monopoles. We sketch thefuture schedule on the way to a cube kilometer telescope at the South Pole,ICECUBE.

Conductance quantization histograms of gold nanowires at 4 K
- 1997
-
In: Physical Review B Condensed Matter. - 0163-1829 .- 1095-3795. ; 55:19, s. 12910-12913

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Driving a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip into a metallic surface and pulling it out afterwards results in the formation of a nanometer-sized wire (nanowire) between the electrodes. The electrical conduction measured during this process shows signs of quantized conductance in units of G0=2e2/h. Due to the inherent irreproducibility of the measured conductance curves, the standard technique has been to construct histograms with a few hundred selected curves. These histograms, for gold nanowires at room temperature, have shown three to four peaks at integer values of 2e2/h, while in a low-temperature mechanically controlled break junction study, with statistics using only 65 curves, only the first peak has been reported. A proposed explanation for this apparent experimental discrepancy has been a higher nanowire temperature arising from the higher retraction speed used in scanning tunneling microscopy measurements. However, our simple estimation using macroscopic heat transport theory produces a very low temperature rise, less than 1 μK. In this work, an improved statistical study is presented, where histograms built with thousands of consecutive gold contact breakage experiments at 4 K show up to seven conductance peaks. Thus, no significant differences with our previous room-temperature (RT) studies are observed, pointing to a conductance quantization behavior that is the same at low, intermediate, and high (RT) temperatures.

Conductance quantization in bismuth nanowires at 4 K
- 1997
-
In: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007 .- 1079-7114. ; 78:26, s. 4990-4993
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Conductance experiments on Bi nanowires at 4 K, obtained with a scanning tunneling microscope, are presented. The conductance of these Bi nanocontacts, formed between two Bi electrodes, exhibits plateaus at quantized values of G0 = 2e2/h, remaining basically constant during electrode separations of about 50 nm. This is the first time that such plateaus have been observed in semimetals. The histogram of conductance values, constructed with thousands of consecutive contact breakage conductance experiments, exhibits clear peaks at G0 and 2G0.
