Geodetic determination of tectonic deformation in central Greece from 1900 to 1988
The Global Positioning System has been used to measure the relative displacements of fifteen monuments in a hundred-year-old triangulation network spanning part of the Aegean extensional basin. These displacem...

Hot Electron Transport in Superlattices
We describe measurements of hot-electron dynamics in superlattices under flat band conditions and superlattices in a uniform electric field. Under flat band conditions we show that carriers in high-lying minib...

Picosecond Optical Studies of Switching in Resonant Tunneling Structures
We describe some aspects of the interaction of picosecond optical pulses with resonant tunneling structures. We show that when a resonant tunneling diode is biased to bistability, short pulse excitation can be...

High Rate Growth of YBa2Cu3O7-x Thin Films using Pulsed Excimer Laser Deposition
We report here on the pulsed laser deposition of high quality, superconducting, 200 nm thick films of YBa2Cu3O7-x at rates approaching 15 nm/s. Film crystallinity and electrical properties were studied as a funct...

Laser Deposition of High Tc Superconducting thin Films: Present and Future
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has been widely used for deposition of high Tc superconducting thin films, and is recognized as one of the best physical vapor techniques for the preparation of these films. The most...

Structural Defects in Thin Films Of High TC Superconductors
In this short report, we describe some of the structural defects present in laser deposited Y-Ba-Cu-O thin films. Many of the defects observed are polytypoidic variants, related to the layered structure of the...

Large Rates of Rotation in Continental Lithosphere. Undergoing Distributed Deformation
The width of a region of continental deformation is governed by the length of the boundary over which relative motion occurs, and by the rheological properties of the continental lithosphere. If the continenta...
