Ni/4H-SiC Schottky photodiodes of 5 mm x 5 mm area have been fabricated and characterized. The photodiodes show less than 0.1 pA dark current at -4 V and an ideality factor of 1.06. A quantum efficiency (QE) between 3 and 400 nm has been calibrated and compared with Si photodiodes optimized for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) detection. In the EUV region, the QE of SiC detectors increases from 0.14 electrons/photon at 120 nm to 30 electrons/photon at 3 nm. The mean energy of electron-hole pair generation of 4H-SiC estimated from the spectral QE is found to be 7.9 eV.

Study of substrate-directed ordering of long double-stranded DNA molecules on bare highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface based on atomic force microscopy relocation imaging Manipulating DNA molecules to form molecular patterns on a nanometer scale is a subject with wide prospects. By applying a modified ''molecular combing'' technique and imaging in air with atomic force microscope, we aligned DNA molecules on a mica surface which was chemically modified with a small organic molecule, ͑3-aminopropyl͒-triethanoxysilane. Two-dimensional patterns of DNA molecules were also constructed.
