In magnetoresistance (MR) studies of magnetic multilayers composed of combinations of
ferromagnetic (F) and non-magnetic (N) metals, the magnetic moment (or related'spin') of …

In this review, we discuss the results of recent experimental studies of the low-temperature
electron dephasing time (τ ϕ) in metal and semiconductor mesoscopic structures. A major …

We have extracted the phase coherence time τ φ of electronic quasiparticles from the low
field magnetoresistance of weakly disordered wires made of silver, copper, and gold. In …

We report measurements of the flux-dependent orbital magnetic susceptibility of an
ensemble of 10 5 disconnected silver rings at 217 MHz. Because of the strong spin-orbit …

As spintronics goes nano, new phenomena are predicted resulting from the interplay
between spin dependent transport and single electron physics. The long term goal of …

The presence of both inversion (P) and time-reversal (T) symmetries in solids leads to a
double degeneracy of the electronic bands (Kramers degeneracy). By lifting the degeneracy …

We review our recent achievements on optimization of spin injection from ferromagnetic into
non-magnetic metals and characterization of spin transport properties in the non-magnetic …

We have probed the magnetic field dependence of the electron phase coherence time τ φ by
measuring the Aharonov-Bohm conductance oscillations of mesoscopic Cu rings. Whereas τ …

A novel gas-phase procedure for the control of amino group density on porous silica through
consecutive reactions of aminopropylalkoxysilanes and water vapor was developed. First …

We investigated the local density of states (LDOS) of a normal metal (N) in good electrical
contact with a superconductor (S) as a function of the distance x to the NS interface. The …
