Communications [l 11 We thank Dr. Jonas, Bayer AG, Uerdingen for this measurement. [12] The data of a yellow and a black crystal (data in square brackets) of the compound with the dimensions ca. 0.55 x 0.22 x 0.17 [0.55 x 0.22 x 0.17]A3 were recorded with a Nicolet R3 mjV four circle diffractometer (MoKu-radiation, graphite-monochromator) at 130 K

The noise properties at room temperature of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under forward bias, for frequencies between 10 Hz–10 kHz, have been investigated. The noise measurements were made for one individual multiwalled carbon nanotube (1 MW) and two crossing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (2 CMW). The excess noise found in 1 MW is consistently 1/f-like. However, 2 CMW shows higher noise level, and the noise spectrum has an unusual dependence on the current. The main origin of noise in 2 CMW was attributed to the diffusion noise.

A single-electron tunneling transistor was made by capturing a chemically synthesized gold cluster between two gold electrodes. The transistor had a quasiperiodic modulation of the current–voltage characteristics as a function of a gate voltage applied to an oxidized aluminum electrode at 4.2 K. The Coulomb blockade voltage for this device was 50 mV observed at 4.2 K and room temperature. The maximum observed blockade voltage was 200 mV for devices without gate.

Testing of autonomous vehicles involves enormous challenges for the automotive industry. The number of real-world driving scenarios is extremely large, and choosing effective test scenarios is essential, as well as combining simulated and real world testing. We present an industrial workbench of tools and workflows to generate efficient and effective test scenarios for active safety and autonomous driving functions. The workbench is based on existing engineering tools, and helps smoothly integrate simulated testing, with real vehicle parameters and software. We aim to validate the workbench with real cases and further refine the input model parameters and distributions.

Single‐electron tunneling devices were made by self‐assembly of colloidal ligand‐stabilized gold clusters in the small gap between two gold electrodes, which were covered with a self‐assembled monolayer of 1,8‐octanedithiol. With this method we control the size of the active part of the device which is smaller than the traditional lithographic resolution, with chemical methods and use self‐positioning of the particle by weak forces between the substrate and the particle. The current voltage characteristic of the devices exhibit a Coulomb staircase and gate effect at 4.2 K, and a prominent Coulomb blockade at room temperature.
