  Band gap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An intrinsic (pure) semiconductor's conductivity is strongly dependent on the band gap.
The only available carriers for conduction are the electrons which have enough thermal energy to be excited across the band gap, which is defined as the energy level difference between the conduction band and the valence band.
It is also possible to construct layered materials with alternating compositions by techniques like molecular beam epitaxy.

 Research demystifies quantum properties of exotic materials
The impetus for correlated electron physics is the fact that the standard theory of metals cannot explain the electronic workings of materials that contain "correlated," or strongly interacting electrons.
Correlated systems include radioactive metals, such as plutonium, and compounds based on so-called rare earth elements and transition metals, such as cerium, ytterbium and copper.
All strongly correlated materials contain electrons whose influence on one another is so pronounced that they cannot be explained by theoretical description of the independent electrons themselves but instead require an understanding of their dynamic interaction.

 Hibbitts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
One of these materials appears to be a heavily hydrated material [McCord et al., 2001], somewhat similar to that found on Europa [McCord et al., 1998], and another less hydrated material spectrally quite similar to that found on Callisto [Hibbitts et al., 2003].
Whereas the nonice materials on Europa and Callisto appear to be of uniform (but different) compositions and present over most of their surfaces [McCord et al., 1998, 2001;Carlson et al., 1999], the nonice materials on Ganymede are not as ubiquitous.
On Ganymede, the Europa-like heavily hydrated nonice material is associated with the older regions morphologically similar to the palimpsests on Callisto, not the more geologically-active sulci whereas on Europa the distribution of the nonice material is strongly correlated with geologically 'recent' terrain.

While oceanographers had previously been able to determine the presence or absence of some material at a given threshold value, they were unable to precisely determine the concentration, which may have a very small fraction of the threshold reading.
It is important to note, this lack of detection does not mean that the materials were absent, just that the test could not detect them.
Although the initial documentation from the lab indicated that the test was for Iodide ion, a discussion with the laboratory director indicated that the procedure tests for total Iodine, not just Iodide ion.

 NANOTECHNOLOGY: ON CORRELATED ELECTRONS
Such strongly interacting or "correlated" electrons cannot be described as embedded in a static mean field generated by the other electrons.(1) The influence of an electron on the others is simply too pronounced for each to be treated independently.
In materials called "heavy fermion systems", mobile electrons at low temperature behave as if their masses were a thousand times the mass of a free electron in a simple metal.
These materials have in common the apparent dominant role played by electron-electron interaction effects, and such systems are categorized under the general rubric of "highly correlated electron systems".

 ARS | Publication request: Identification of Lucerne Stem Cell Wall Traits Related to in Vitro Neutral Detergent Fibre ...
Spring and summer harvested stem material from 24 plants in each of two germplasm sources were analyzed for 16- and 96-h in vitro NDF digestibility, and cell wall concentration and composition (cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin monosaccharide constituents, and Klason lignin).
Correlation coefficients were calculated for relationships among these cell wall traits and with in vitro NDF digestibility.
In contrast, Klason lignin concentration was strongly negatively correlated with 96-h in vitro NDF digestibility.

 Poverty
Poverty is a subjective and comparative term describing a lack of sufficient wealth (usually understood as capital, money, material goods, or resources especially natural resources) to live what is understood in a society as a "normal" life: for instance, to be capable of raising a healthy family, and especially educating children and participating in society.
Poverty is often strongly correlated with social problems, such as crime and disease (notably sexually transmitted diseases), sometimes in epidemic form.
As a result, many societies employ social workers to fight poverty by a variety of methods which range from moral persuasion to financial subsidy to physical coercion.

 ICAM/UCOP - Scientific Agenda   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
ICAM's present scientific agenda is dominated by Strongly Correlated Matter and Biological Physics.
There has long been a flow of techniques from the physical sciences to the biological sciences, but the paradigms from biology of complexity and emergent phenomena (not immediately foreseeable with fundamental knowledge at shorter distance and time scales) can also inform the physical sciences.
In considering the further evolution of ICAM, and its research nodes on various campuses, ICAM can be regarded as having deep roots in both Strongly Correlated Matter and Biological Physics, while building bridges between these two communities via workshops and research programs on soft matter, glasses, and self-assembled materials.

The theory of the electronic structure of these materials pose a unique challenge, since it has to treat the localized (particle-like) and the itinerant (wave-like) aspects of the electron on equal footing.
The dynamical mean field technique has given new insights into the electronic structure of correlated solids, as well as allowing quantitative calculations of material properties.
In this talk we will give a pedagogical introduction to the central problems in the area of correlated electron physics and to the ideas of the dynamical mean field method.

Abstract: Physicists and material scientists have long designed materials with remarkable and varied electronic behaviors, from charge-density waves to high-temperature superconductivity.
However, this approach has two important limitations: We often lack a microscopic understanding of the Hamiltonian of such systems, and we usually cannot tune (or even accurately measure) important parameters of the underlying Hamiltonian, such as energy levels and couplings.

 Tools: Material Intensity Analysis (MAIA)
According the concept of MIPS (Material Input per Service unit) MAIA is used to quantify the life-cycle-wide requirement of primary materials for products and services.
Analogously to the quantification of the cumulative energy requirements MAIA provides information on basic environmental pressures associated with the magnitude of resource extraction and the subsequent material flows which end up as waste or emission.
The input of primary raw materials (including energy carriers) is measured in physical units (kg) and aggregated to five main categories:

 Chapter 3: Economic Growth, Poverty, Equity and Food Security
It is at the household level, that the subjective perception of what it is to be poor better reflects the reality of poverty - as including aspects of material deprivation, isolation, alienation, dependence, lack of decision-making power and freedom of choice, lack of assets, vulnerability and insecurity.
In contrast, the worst statistics for poverty and equity were those of Brazil and Mexico where in the late 1980s, one third to one half of the population were subsisting under the poverty line - a mean which moreover disguised the pronounced regional inequity.
Thus, the effect of the massive food subsidies is not taken into account in this measure of poverty - consequently poverty, in this case, may not be strongly correlated with nutrition.
