Moiré bands in twisted double-layer graphene

R Bistritzer, AH MacDonald - Proceedings of the National …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
A moiré pattern is formed when two copies of a periodic pattern are overlaid with a relative
twist. We address the electronic structure of a twisted two-layer graphene system, showing …

Stress and neurodevelopmental processes in the emergence of psychosis

…, HD Trotman, SM Goulding, AT Ryan, AN Macdonald… - Neuroscience, 2013 - Elsevier
The notion that stress plays a role in the etiology of psychotic disorders, especially
schizophrenia, is longstanding. However, it is only in recent years that the potential neural …

Anomalous hall effect

N Nagaosa, J Sinova, S Onoda, AH MacDonald… - Reviews of modern …, 2010 - APS
The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) occurs in solids with broken time-reversal symmetry,
typically in a ferromagnetic phase, as a consequence of spin-orbit coupling. Experimental and …

Bose–Einstein condensation of excitons in bilayer electron systems

JP Eisenstein, AH MacDonald - Nature, 2004 - nature.com
An exciton is the particle-like entity that forms when an electron is bound to a positively
charged ‘hole’. An ordered electronic state in which excitons condense into a single quantum …

Transient terahertz conductivity in photoexcited silicon nanocrystal films

DG Cooke, AN MacDonald, A Hryciw, J Wang, Q Li… - Physical Review B, 2006 - APS
Time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy is used to probe ultrafast carrier dynamics and terahertz
conductivity in photoexcited thin films of silicon nanocrystals, polynanocrystalline silicon, …

Dissociating the role of the dorsolateral prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex in cognitive control

AW MacDonald, JD Cohen, VA Stenger, CS Carter - Science, 2000 - science.org
Theories of the regulation of cognition suggest a system with two necessary components: one
to implement control and another to monitor performance and signal when adjustments in …

Anterior cingulate conflict monitoring and adjustments in control

JG Kerns, JD Cohen, AW MacDonald III, RY Cho… - Science, 2004 - science.org
Conflict monitoring by the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been posited to signal a need
for greater cognitive control, producing neural and behavioral adjustments. However, the …

Universal intrinsic spin Hall effect

…, Q Niu, NA Sinitsyn, T Jungwirth, AH MacDonald - Physical review …, 2004 - APS
We describe a new effect in semiconductor spintronics that leads to dissipationless spin
currents in paramagnetic spin-orbit coupled systems. We argue that in a high-mobility two-…

Photonic topological insulators

…, WK Tse, M Kargarian, AH MacDonald… - Nature materials, 2013 - nature.com
Recent progress in understanding the topological properties of condensed matter has led to
the discovery of time-reversal-invariant topological insulators. A remarkable and useful …

Heritability estimates for psychotic disorders: the Maudsley twin psychosis series

…, EJ Marshall, B Coid, AM Macdonald… - Archives of general …, 1999 - jamanetwork.com
Background Previous twin studies have supported a genetic contribution to the major categories
of psychotic disorders, but few of these have employed operational diagnostic criteria, …
