Correlated discrete transfer of single electrons in ultrasmall tunnel junctions
Recent theoretical and experimental studies have revealed a new family of effects taking place in very small tunnel junctions at low temperatures. The effects have a common orig...

We have evaluated the sticking probability and activation energy for dissociation of ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ molecules on a Cu(110) surface by a reversible work formulation of quantu...
Measurements of Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling out of the Zero-Voltage State of a Current-Biased Josephson Junction
The escape rate of an underdamped ($Q\ensuremath{\approx}30$), current-biased Josephson junction from the zero-voltage state has been measured. The relevant parameters of the ju...
Observation of Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Dilute Atomic Vapor
A Bose-Einstein condensate was produced in a vapor of rubidium-87 atoms that was confined by magnetic fields and evaporatively cooled. The condensate fraction first appeared nea...
