Activation improvement of ion implanted boron in silicon through fluorine co-implantation J.Single dopant atoms can affect transport properties in scaled semiconductor devices and coherent control of spin and charge degrees of freedom of single dopant atoms promises to enable quantum computing. The authors report on an improved technique for deterministic placement of single dopant atoms by single ion implantation with scanning probe alignment. Ions are generated in a microwave driven ion source, mass analyzed in a Wien filter, and impinge on spin readout devices after alignment of the ion beam to regions of interest with a noncontact scanning force microscope.

The recognition of Aboriginal rights as sui generis is unique in its basis on a combination of past, culture, and place. This article maintains that the sui generis basis for Aboriginal rights has limited tangible improvements to Aboriginal quality of life, while commentators have also pointed to a number of difficulties with the justifications offered for sui generis rights. The present article proposes a theory of regulatory diversity that promises greater Aboriginal self-determination over regional resources and is both more conducive to development and justifiable on liberal grounds.

This article proposes that there are three types of individual interest perception that explain adherence to the rule of law. The first level, “profit,” refers to tangible individual gain, whether in the form of economic enrichment or the accumulation of political power. The second layer of interest, “persuasion,” involves social norms and reputation. In this second level, individuals adhere to a rule not because of the threat of government sanction or reward, but rather because of intangible concerns for reputation and social status. Finally, the third layer of interest involves individuals forgoing tangible benefit for the sake of fidelity to a constitutional order or a shared set of beliefs. A potential advantage of the three-interest view is that it provides for an accessible descriptive framework that captures the broad nature of the rule of law, moving from the small bribe for a local official to the question of whether a constitution will constrain the powerful. The three-interest view also aligns well with modern developments in experimental and behavioural economics and suggests future lines of research into how individuals and groups navigate from self-interest toward cooperation and fidelity.
