This manuscript presents a theoretical model for determining the electron energy filtering properties of nanocomposite materials. Individual nanoparticles can serve as energy filters for tunneling electrons due their discretized energy levels. Nanomaterials comprised of many individual nanoparticles can in principle serve the same purpose, however, particle polydispersity can lead to an additional source of energetic broadening. We describe a simple theoretical model that includes the effects of discrete energy levels and inhomogeneous broadening. We use this model to identify the material parameters needed for effective energy filtering by quantum dot solids.

The advantages of scanning electron diffraction with electron energy filtering over conventional electron diffraction have been fairly widely described, and, more recently, the use of such systems in conjunction with transmission electron microscopes has been reported. By means of scanning diffraction, the electron intensities in a diffraction pattern may be measured and plotted directly on an XY recorder without the inaccuracy and inconvenience of the normal photographic-densitometric process; and the use of an energy filter to remove electrons that have suffered an energy loss allows direct measurement of the diffracted intensities of the elastically-scattered electrons. In this paper, we describe a Scanning Electron Diffraction Attachment (SEDA) with electrostatic energy filter that has been constructed for use with the AEI EM6 and EM8 series of electron microscopes.

Spectral properties of periodic one-dimensional array of nanorings in a magnetic field are investigated. Two types of the superlattice are considered. In the first one, rings are connected by short one-dimensional wires while in the second one rings have immediate contacts between each other. The dependence of the electron energy on the quasimomentum is obtained from the Schrödinger equation for the Bloch wavefunction. We have found an interesting feature of the system, namely, presence of discrete energy levels in the spectrum. The levels can be located in the gaps or in the bands depending on parameters of the system. The levels correspond to bound states and electrons occupying these levels are located on individual rings or couples of neighboring rings and do not contribute to the charge transport. The wavefunction for the bound states corresponding to the discrete levels is obtained. Modification of electron energy spectrum with variation of system parameters is discussed.

AbstractWe empirically investigate incumbents’ and entrants’ bids on an original dataset of 192 scoring rule auctions for canteen services in Italy. Our findings show that winning rebates are lower (i.e., prices paid by the public buyer are higher) when the contract is awarded to the incumbent supplier. This result is not explained by the observable characteristics of the auction or the service awarded. We develop a simple theoretical model showing that the result is consistent with a setting in which the buyer exploits specific information on the incumbent supplier’s production cost.
