Electron Transport in Semiconductor Superlattices
In this paper, we rigorously derive a diffusion model for semiconductor superlattices, starting from a kinetic description of electron transport at the microscopic scale. Electron transport in the superlattice is modelled by a collisionless Boltzmann equation subject to a periodic array of localized scatters modeling the periodic heterogeneities of the material. The limit of a large number of p...
متن کاملElectron-Beam Induced Nanomasking for Metal Electrodeposition on Semiconductor Surfaces
The present work investigates the masking effect of carbon contamination patterns deposited by the electron-beam ~E-beam! of a scanning electron microscope ~SEM! for metal electrodeposition reactions. Carbon contamination lines were written at different electron doses on n-type Si~100! surfaces. Subsequently Au was electrochemically deposited from a 1 M KCN 1 0.01 M KAu~CN!2 solution on the E-b...
متن کاملFermiology and transport in metallic monatomic layers on semiconductor surfaces
We review Fermi surfaces and band dispersion of metallic monatomic layers (surface superstructures) on semiconductor substrates studied by photoemission spectroscopy, in connection with the surface electronic transport properties. By using various surface superstructures such as twoand quasi-one-dimensional metallic ones, the conductivity, its anisotropy, and the Hall effect in the surface stat...
متن کاملInterlayer transport in disordered semiconductor electron bilayers.
We study the effects of disorder on the interlayer transport properties of disordered semiconductor bilayers by performing self-consistent quantum transport calculations. We find that the addition of material disorder to the system affects the interlayer interactions leading to significant deviations in the interlayer transfer characteristics. In particular, we find that disorder decreases and...
متن کاملDefect-Enhanced Electron Transport through Semiconductor Barriers
It has often been suggested that defects can enhance electron tunneling through barriers. Here, we derive a general expression of the current flowing through semiconductor barriers when induced by the presence of defects, taking into account tunneling and other possible mechanisms. Therefore, we calculate the capture probability of free electrons by defects located in the barrier and the subseq...
