We measure the rectified dc currents resulting when a 3-terminal semiconductor device with gate-dependent conductance is driven with an ac gate voltage. The rectified currents exhibit surprisingly complex behaviour as the dc source-drain bias voltage, the dc gate voltage and the amplitude of the ac gate voltage are varied. We obtain good agreement between our data and a model based on simple assumptions about the stray impedances on the sample chip, over a wide frequency range. This method is applicable to many types of experiment which involve ac gating of a non-linear device, and where an undesireable rectified contribution to the measured signal is present. Finally, we evaluate the small rectified currents flowing in tunable-barrier electron pumps operated in the pinched-off regime. These currents are at most $10^{-12}$ of the pumped current for a pump current of 100 pA. This result is encouraging for the development of tunable-barrier pumps as metrological current standards.

We discuss transport through double gated single and few layer graphene devices. This kind of device configuration has been used to investigate the modulation of the energy band structure through the application of an external perpendicular electric
field, a unique property of few layer graphene systems. Here we discuss technological details that are important for the fabrication of top gated structures, based on electron-gun evaporation of SiO$_2$. We perform a statistical study that demonstrates how --contrary to expectations-- the breakdown field of electron-gun evaporated thin SiO$_2$ films is comparable to that of thermally grown oxide layers. We find that a high breakdown field can be achieved in evaporated SiO$_2$ only if the oxide deposition is directly followed by the metallization of the top electrodes, without exposure to air of the SiO$_2$ layer.
A novel method for simultaneous detection of both DC and time-dependent magnetic signatures in individual mesoscopic structures has emerged from early studies in spin mechanics. Multifrequency nanomechanical detection of AC susceptibility and its har
monics highlights reversible nonlinearities in the magnetization response of a single yttrium iron garnet (YIG) element, separating them from hysteretic jumps in the DC magnetization.
We discuss the possibility of diffusive conduction and thus of suppression of shot noise by a factor 1/3 in mesoscopic semiconductor devices with two-dimensional and one-dimensional potential disorder, for which existing experimental results do not p
rovide a conclusive result. On the basis of our numerical analysis, we conclude that it is quite difficult to achieve diffusive transport over a reasonably wide parameter range, unless the device dimensions are increased up to the macroscopic scale. In addition, in the case of one-dimensional disorder, some mechanism capable of mode-mixing has to be present in order to reach or even approach the diffusive regime.
Flat bands near M points in the Brillouin zone are key features of honeycomb symmetry in artificial graphene (AG) where electrons may condense into novel correlated phases. Here we report the observation of van Hove singularity doublet of AG in GaAs
quantum well transistors, which presents the evidence of flat bands in semiconductor AG. Two emerging peaks in photoluminescence spectra tuned by backgate voltages probe the singularity doublet of AG flat bands, and demonstrate their accessibility to the Fermi level. As the Fermi level crosses the doublet, the spectra display dramatic stability against electron density, indicating interplays between electron-electron interactions and honeycomb symmetry. Our results provide a new flexible platform to explore intriguing flat band physics.
In organic light emitting diodes with small area the current may be dominated by a finite number, N of sites in which the electron-hole recombination occurs. As a result, averaging over the hyperfine magnetic fields, b_h, that are generated in these
sites by the environment nuclei is incomplete. This creates a random (mesoscopic) current component, {Delta}I(B), at field B having relative magnitude ~ N^(-1/2). To quantify the statistical properties of {Delta}I(B) we calculate the correlator K(B, {Delta}B)= <{delta}I(B - {Delta}B/2){delta}I(B + {Delta}B/2)> for parallel and perpendicular orientations of {Delta}B. We demonstrate that mesoscopic fluctuations develop at fields B>>b_h, where the average magnetoresistance is near saturation. These fluctuations originate from the slow beating between S and T_0 states of the recombining e-h spin pair-partners. We identify the most relevant processes responsible for the current fluctuations as due to anomalously slow beatings that develop in sparse e-h polaron pairs at sites for which the b_h projections on the external field direction almost coincide.
