Surface functionalisation of diamond can produce negative electron affinity (NEA), where the conduction band lies higher in energy than vacuum level. Hydrogen termination is well-known to NEA on but be removed by temperatures above ∼700 °C, making it unsuitable for diamond-based thermionic applications, high are converted into electricity via an emission process. In this review article we give ...

A closed-form and physics-based compact model is presented for calculating the DC characteristics of Schottky barrier field-effect transistors dual gated reconfigurable transistors. The given calculates charge-carrier injection over barriers. This current separated into a field emission current, by charge carriers tunneling through barriers thermionic overcoming verification done comparing resu...

The effect of plasma turbulence on the trajectories dust particles is investigated for first time. dynamics computed using ad hoc developed Dust Injection Simulator code, a 3D turbulent background with TOKAM3X code. As result, evolution particle governed by ion drag force, and shape trajectory set Stokes number St∝ad/n0, radius n0 density at separatrix. observed to scatter particles, exhibiting...
