Effect of long-range Coulomb interaction on shot-noise suppression in ballistic transport
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a microscopic analysis of shot-noise suppression due to long-range Coulomb interaction in semiconductor devices under ballistic transport conditions. An ensemble Monte Carlo simulator selfconsistently coupled with a Poisson solver is used for the calculations. A wide range of injection-rate densities leading to different degrees of suppression is investigated. A sharp tendency of noise suppression at increasing injection densities is found to scale with a dimensionless Debye length related to the importance of spacecharge effects in the structure. @S0163-1829~97!09735-X#

Research on Carrier Correlation in Ballistic Transport Nano- MOSFETs
In this paper,the experiment proved that shot noise is suppressed by Fermi and Coulomb interaction correlation. Meanwhile, the establishment of shot noise suppression factor (Fano) in ballistic transport nano-MOSFETs the Coulomb interaction correlation and the combination of the two effects are derived from separately considering the Fermi interaction correlation. And on this basis the variatio...
متن کاملSemiclassical theory of shot noise in ballistic n-i-n semiconductor structures: Relevance of Pauli and long-range Coulomb correlations
We work out a semiclassical theory of shot noise in ballistic n-i-n semiconductor structures aiming at studying two fundamental physical correlations coming from Pauli exclusion principle and long-range Coulomb interaction. The theory provides a unifying scheme which, in addition to the current-voltage characteristics, describes the suppression of shot noise due to Pauli and Coulomb correlation...
متن کاملGiant suppression of shot noise as signature of coherent transport in double barrier resonant diodes
Shot noise suppression in double barrier resonant tunnelling diodes with a Fano factor well below the value of 0.5 is theoretically predicted. This giant suppression is found to be a signature of the coherent transport regime and can occur near zero temperature as a consequence of the Pauli principle or above about 77 K as a consequence of long range Coulomb interaction. These predictions are v...
متن کاملShot-noise suppression by Fermi and Coulomb correlations in ballistic conductors
We investigate the injection of degenerate Fermi-Dirac electrons into a multimode ballistic conductor under the space-charge-limited regime. The nonequilibrium current fluctuations were found to be suppressed by both Coulomb and Fermi correlations. We show that the Fermi shot-noise-suppression factor is limited below by the value 2kBT/«F , where T is the temperature and «F the Fermi energy of t...
متن کاملCoherent approach to transport and noise in double-barrier resonant diodes
We implement a quantum approach which includes long range Coulomb interaction and investigate current voltage characteristics and shot noise in double-barrier resonant diodes. The theory applies to the region of low applied voltages up to the region of the current peak and considers the wide temperature range from zero to room temperature. The shape of the current voltage characteristic is well...
