The phase coherence time of electrons in certain nanostructures may diverge at very low temperatures.

Microwave illumination of a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas reveals quantum magneto-oscillations in both absorption coefficient and dc resistance.

LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces grown by different methods all show a metal-insulator transition, but the observed interfacial electric field strength is not consistent with a widely studied model.

A proposal for how to design a superconducting qubit solves the problem of decoherence caused by randomly charged impurities.

Optical measurements in electron gases at low temperatures and high magnetic fields show the electron spins are, as predicted, polarized, but that this state is surprisingly delicate.

Measurements of how out-of-equilibrium electrons lose energy along a carbon nanotube reveal that they do not significantly scatter over several microns.
