β¦ Synopsis
We have used high pressure to investigate resonant tunnelling in a single-barrier, n-i-n GaAs/ AlAs/GaAs diode with an embedded layer of InAs self-assembled quantum dots (SAQD). We have obtained convincing evidence for resonant tunnelling through individual G-valley-related electron states that we associate with the SAQD. The tunnel current through a SAQD was used as a local probe of a localized phase of a two-dimensional electron system in the accumulation layer of the diode. We have found evidence that at low densities, the localized electrons form relatively large, high-density clusters.

Research methods using so-called Correlative Light Electron Microscopy (CLEM) techniques have gained increasing attention in recent years. Most techniques have focused on the light microscopy part of the process. The processing for electron microscopy, however, deserves attention as well to get the
In recent years, many studies have focused on the fate and potential of neural progenitors in vertebrates. While much progress has been made, many questions remain about the mechanisms which lead to neural diversity, in terms of both the regionalization of the nervous system and specification of cel
