Application of Inelastic Electron Tunneling to the Study of Adhesion

The problem of devising meaningful and reliable methods for nondestructive evaluation of adhesively bonded joints has been the subject of considerable effort for many years. It remains an important and unsolved problem. The use of conventional NOT methods involving ultrasonics is not entirely satisfactory because the thickness of a bond line is small compared with typical acoustic wavelengths a...

Indirect Electron Tunneling

Indirect electron tunneling is observed in germanium diodes by detecting small perturbations in their I-V characteristics at low temperatures that occur when the applied potential equals the energy of emitted phonons. Frequencies of the observed phonons are calculated to a comparable degree of accuracy (±0.3E12 Hz) with neutron scattering data. Electronic differentiation, used to closely inspec...

Single Electron Tunneling Junctions

This paper and its associated Python programs explore the dynamics of single electron tunneling junction (SETJ) circuits. SETJs can potentially be used as nonlinear circuit elements to implement new paradigms for information processing. I show that an isolated SETJ circuit with a constant bias voltage and sinusoidal pump offset can produce a variety of interesting nonlinear behavior. By adjusti...
