Lateral organization of cholesterol molecules in lipid-cholesterol assemblies

Proposed for publication in Physical Review E.

Slepoy, Alexander S.

We present results of an off-lattice simulation of a two-component planar system, as a model for lateral organization of cholesterol molecules in lipid-cholesterol assemblies. We explore the existence of 'superlattice' structures even in fluid systems, in the absence of an underlying translational long-range order, and study their coupling to hexatic or bond-orientational order. We discuss our results in context of geometric superlattice theories and 'condensation complexes' in understanding a variety of experiments in artificial lipid-cholesterol assemblies.

Single-quantum-well grating-gated terahertz plasmon detectors

Proposed for publication in Applied Physics Letters.

Shaner, Eric A.; Lee, Mark L.; Wanke, Michael W.; Grine, Albert D.; Reno, J.L.

A grating-gated field-effect transistor fabricated from a single-quantum well in a high-mobility GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructure is shown to function as a continuously electrically tunable photodetector of terahertz radiation via excitation of resonant plasmon modes in the well. Different harmonics of the plasmon wave vector are mapped, showing different branches of the dispersion relation. As a function of temperature, the resonant response magnitude peaks at around 30 K. Both photovoltaic and photoconductive responses have been observed under different incident power and bias conditions.
