Possibility of a Direct Observation of the Time Evolution in Heterostructure Barrier Tunneling
نویسنده
چکیده
By varying two design parameters, e.g., the width of a quantum well (QW) and its chemical composition, or by applying an external field, it is possible to implement two QW's with identical ground-state levels in the conduction band but different in the valence band. This allows a selective "preparation" of an initial electron state by interband photoexcitation. In a coupled QW system the electron will oscillate between the two wells, giving rise to an oscillating luminescence signal with a period directly related to the tunneling time.

Impact of Silicon Wafer Orientation on the Performance of Metal Source/Drain MOSFET in Nanoscale Regime: a Numerical Study
A comprehensive study of Schottky barrier MOSFET (SBMOSFET) scaling issue is performed to determine the role of wafer orientation and structural parameters on the performance of this device within Non-equilibrium Green's Function formalism. Quantum confinement increases the effective Schottky barrier height (SBH). (100) orientation provides lower effective Schottky barrier height in compa...
متن کاملTransmissions coeficient of an electron direct tunneling through a heterostructure with nanometer-thick trapezoidal barrier gr
An analytic expression of transmittance based on the Airy wavefunctions approach has been derived for an electron through an anisotropic heterostructure with an applied voltage to the barrier of the heterostructure. The Si(110)|Si0.5Ge0.5|Si(110) heterostructure was used to examine the analytic expression. In order to evaluate the Airy wavefunctions approach, the transfer matrix method, which i...
متن کاملAnalysis and study of geometrical variability on the performance of junctionless tunneling field effect transistors: Advantage or deficiency?
This study investigates geometrical variability on the sensitivity of the junctionless tunneling field effect transistor (JLTFET) and Heterostructure JLTFET (HJLTFET) performance. We consider the transistor gate dielectric thickness as one of the main variation sources. The impacts of variations on the analog and digital performance of the devices are calculated by using computer aided design (...
متن کاملDirect space-time observation of pulse tunneling in an electromagnetic band gap
We present space-time-resolved measurements of electromagnetic pulses tunneling through a coaxial electromagnetic band gap structure. The results show that during the tunneling process the field distribution inside the barrier is an exponentially decaying standing wave whose amplitude increases and decreases as it slowly follows the temporal evolution of the input pulse. At no time is a pulse m...

In this paper, we study particle aspects of the φ6 kinks in an external potential. The external potential is implemented by breaking the translational invariance of the system. The dynamics of the kink is calculated for the simple harmonic oscillator (SHO) and barrier potentials. The periodic motion of the kink in the SHO case is compared to the corresponding ordinary (classical) motion. It i...
