Hot-Electron Transport and Microwave Noise in 4H–SiC
Hot-electron transport and microwave noise are investigated for n-type 4H–SiC (n = 2 × 10 cm−3) subjected to a pulsed electric field applied parallel to the basal plane. At room temperature, the negative differential conductance, masked by field ionization at the highest fields, is observed in the field range between 280 and 350 kV/cm. The threshold fields for the negative differential conducta...
متن کاملHot-Electron Microcalorimeters for X-Ray and Phonon Detection
We propose a novel hot-electron microcalorimeter for measurements of x-rays or phonons produced by the interaction of a high energy particle with the underlying substrate. This type of detector uses a normal metal film to absorb the incoming excitation which subsequently heats the electrons above the lattice temperature. The temperature of the electrons is measured from the current voltage char...
متن کاملEarly-stage relaxation of hot electrons by LO phonon emission
Ultrafast spectroscopy gives insight into the relaxation and dephasing of electrons during the first femtoseconds after an optical excitation. A theoretical description of this early-time regime requires a proper treatment of retardation effects for the different scattering processes. The scattering of electrons by optical phonons is investigated within the S-matrix formalism. This perturbative...
متن کاملMixing and noise in diffusion and phonon cooled superconducting hot-electron bolometers
We report a systematic, comprehensive set of measurements on the dynamics and noise processes in diffusion and phonon-cooled superconducting hot-electron bolometer mixers which will serve as ultralow noise detectors in THz heterodyne receivers. The conversion efficiency and output noise of devices of varying lengths were measured with radio frequency between 8 and 40 GHz. The devices studied co...
متن کاملHeterobarrier for converting hot-phonon energy to electric potential
We show that hot phonons emitted in energy conversion or resistive processes can be converted to electric potential in heterobarrier structures. Using phonon and electron interaction kinetics and self-consistent ensemble Monte Carlo, we find the favorable conditions for unassisted absorption of hot phonons and design graded heterobarriers for their direct conversion into electric energy. Tandem...
