Published: July 2007

We report anomalous structure in the magnetoresistance of SiO(2)/Si(100)/SiO(2) quantum wells. When Landau levels of opposite valleys are driven through coincidence at the Fermi level, the longitudinal resistance displays elevations at filling factors that are integer multiples of 4 (nu=4i) accompanied by suppression on either side of nu=4i. This persists when either the magnetic field or the valley splitting is swept, leading to resistance ridges running along nu=4i. The range of field over which they are observed points to the role of spin degeneracy, which is directly confirmed by their disappearance with the addition of an in-plane magnetic field. The data suggest a new type of many-body effect arising from the combined degeneracy due to the valley and the spin degrees of freedom.

Diamide insecticides, specifically chlorantraniliprole (CHL), have been rising in popularity over the past decade, becoming one of the most widely used insecticide classes globally. These insecticides target the ryanodine receptor (RyR), primarily for control of lepidopteran agricultural pests. Field studies have revealed that some lepidopteran species have developed mutations where a methionine in a particular position (e.

In order to achieve high accuracy in interferometric direction-finding systems, antennas with a stable phase center in the working bandwidth are required. This article proposes a miniaturized loaded open-boundary quad-ridge horn (LOQRH) antenna with dimensions of 40 mm × 40 mm × 49 mm. First, to stabilize the phase center of the antenna, the design builds on the foundation of a quad-ridge horn antenna, where measures such as optimizing the ridge structure and introducing resistive loading were implemented to achieve size reduction.
