O ct 1 99 8 Interface states in junctions of two semiconductors with intersecting dispersion curves

چکیده
Abstract. – A novel type of shallow interface state in junctions of two semiconductors without band inversion is identified within the envelope function approximation, using the two-band model. It occurs in abrupt junctions when the interband velocity matrix elements of the two semiconductors differ and the bulk dispersion curves intersect. The in-plane dispersion of the interface state is found to be confined to a finite range of momenta centered around the point of intersection. These states turn out to exist also in graded junctions, with essentially the same properties as in the abrupt case.

Interface states in junctions of two semiconductors with intersecting dispersion curves
– A novel type of shallow interface state in junctions of two semiconductors without band inversion is identified within the envelope function approximation, using the two-band model.

The in-plane dispersion of the interface state is found to be co...
متن کاملInfluence of the Imperfect Interface on Love-Type Mechanical Wave in a FGPM Layer
In this study, we consider the propagation of the Love-type wave in piezoelectric gradient covering layer on an elastic half-space having an imperfect interface between them. Dispersion relation has been obtained in the form of determinant for both electrically open and short cases. The effects of different material gradient coefficients of functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) and ...
متن کاملO ct 1 99 8 Plasmons in coupled bilayer structures
We calculate the collective charge density excitation dispersion and spectral weight in bilayer semiconductor structures including effects of interlayer tunneling. The out-of-phase plasmon mode (the “acoustic” plasmon) develops a long wavelength gap in the presence of tunneling with the gap being proportional to the square root (linear power) of the tunneling amplitude in the weak (strong) tunn...
متن کاملTunable Surface Plasmon and Phonon Polariton Interactions for Moderately Doped Semiconductor Surfaces
Spatial charge distribution for biased semiconductors fundamentally differs from metals since they can allow inhomogeneous charge distributions due to penetration of the electric field, as observed in the classical Schottky junctions. Similarly, the electrostatics of the dielectric/semiconductor interface can lead to a carrier depletion or accumulation in the semiconductor side when under appli...
متن کاملActivationless charge transport across 4.5 to 22 nm in molecular electronic junctions.
In this work, we bridge the gap between short-range tunneling in molecular junctions and activated hopping in bulk organic films, and greatly extend the distance range of charge transport in molecular electronic devices. Three distinct transport mechanisms were observed for 4.5-22-nm-thick oligo(thiophene) layers between carbon contacts, with tunneling operative when d < 8 nm, activated hopping...
