The breakage of in-plane symmetry allows devices to be fabricated in this plane, enabling molecular electronics to follow this successful paradigm of semiconductor devices. The authors discuss here the fabrication of a unique split-tip optical nanoprobe that can be used to both orient molecules on a surface with a strong, localized electric field and deposit them with nanoscale resolution. Ultraviolet light injected through the probe into the region of aligned molecules causes the deposition. The production of the split-tip probe is significantly different than that of the related near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) probe, since the stresses in the metal layer must be held by the metal film–silica interface rather than within the film as it encircles the silica of a NSOM probe. Mounting of the probe to ensure reliable electrical contacts is also described.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B}, author={Clark, Beverly, III and Taylor, M.

The main advantages of these detectors are their intrinsic spark-protection and possibility to operate at high gain (∼105) in many gases including poorly quenched ones, allowing for the adoption of windowless configurations in which the radiator gas is also used in the chamber. Results of systematic studies of the resistive GEMs combined with CsI photocathodes are presented: their quantum efficiency, rate characteristics, long-term stability, etc. On the basis of the obtained results, we believe that the new detector will be a promising candidate for upgrading the ALICE RICH detector.}, number={1}, journal={NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT}, author={Agocs, A.

We combined data from the National Study of Daily Experiences and the Midlife in the United States survey, resulting in 1,031 participants who reported on 7,229 days. Findings from multilevel models suggest that age and control beliefs play an important role in a person's reactivity to interpersonal, network, and work stressors. Specifically, older age and lower perceived constraints were each related to lower emotional and physical reactivity to interpersonal stressors. High mastery buffered the physical effects of work stressors for younger and older adults, and high mastery was important for middle-aged adults' emotional reactivity to network stressors. High constraint was associated with the strongest physical reactivity to network stressors for younger and older adults.}, number={4}, journal={The Journals of Gerontology Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Neupert, S.
