Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Resonant Tunneling in Semiconductors: Physics and Applications", held at Escorial, Spain, on May 14-18, 1990. The tremendous growth in the past two decades in the field of resonant tunneling in semiconductor heterostructures has followed, if not outpaced, the expansion wit nessed in quantum structures in general. Resonant tunneling shares also the multi disciplinary nature of that broad area, with an emphasis on the underlying physics but with a coverage of material systems on the one end and device applications on the other. Indeed, that resonant tunneling provides great flexibility in terms of materials and configurations and that it is inherently a fast process with obvious device impli cations by the presence of a negative differential resistance have contributed to the unrelenting interest in this field. These proceedings consist of 49 refereed articles; they correspond to both invited and contributed talks at the workshop. Because of the intertwinning nature of the subject matter, it has been difficult to subdivide them in well-defined sections. Instead, they are arranged in several broad categories, meant to serve only as guidelines of emphasis on different topics and aspects. The book starts with an introduction to res onant tunneling by providing a perspective of the field in the first article. This is fol lowed by discussions of different material systems with various band-structure effects.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this grant electronic structure and transport properties of several magnetic rare earth compounds such as Er and Gd pnictides were investigated by means of several first-principle and model techniques. Several other potentially important magnetic compounds such as MnAl, MnGa, and GaMnAs were also considered. All these materials can be grown epitaxially on GaAs or other conventional semiconductors thus forming magnetic heterostructures or nanocomposites. Our work provided solid theoretical background for a number of new experiments and significantly improved understanding of some recently discovered phenomena such as: - Shubnikov-DeHaas oscillations in bulk ErAs - Spin-dependent resonant tunneling in GaAs/ErAs double-barrier heterostructures - Colossal magnetoresistance in GaAs/ErAs nanocomposites. We have also resolved several materials science issues such as: - Schottky barrier formation at GaAs/ErAs interfaces - Magnetic anisotropy of MnAl and MnGa - Growth of self-assembled MnAl quantum dots on GaAs Our work identifies several important applications related to spin-dependent transport in semiconductor-based magnetic heterostructures and nanocomposites.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new materials arena has been opened for quantum electron transport devices based on magnetic, semi-metal compound semiconductor heterostructures. Epitaxial ultrathin films of a rare earth arsenide, ErAs, were grown in GaAs semiconductors. The dissimilarities between the ErAs, a magnetic semimetal, and the compound semiconductor make possible the fabrication of three terminal resonant tunneling transistors with ultra thin semi-metal quantum wells. Resonant tunneling through semi-metal quantum wells was observed for the first time. A strong coupling of the magnetization and the resonant tunneling was discovered that demonstrates magnetization controlled resonant tunneling. Nano-composites of ErAs / GaAs were also grown. Electron transport in these systems exhibits giant magneto-resistance, magnetization controlled island to island electron hopping transport. This research program has opened the possibility of high density, non-volatile information storage and processing based on magnetic, semi-metallic, quantum structures grown and integrated into compound semiconductor heterostructures.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Advanced Study Institute on the Electronic Properties of Multilayers and Low Dimensional Semiconductor Structures focussed on several of the most active areas in modern semiconductor physics. These included resonant tunnelling and superlattice phenomena and the topics of ballistic transport, quantised conductance and anomalous magnetoresistance effects in laterally gated two-dimensional electron systems. Although the main emphasis was on fundamental physics, a series of supporting lectures described the underlying technology (Molecular Beam Epitaxy, Metallo-Organic Chemical Vapour Deposition, Electron Beam Lithography and other advanced processing technologies). Actual and potential applications of low dimensional structures in optoelectronic and high frequency devices were also discussed. The ASI took the form of a series of lectures of about fifty minutes' duration which were given by senior researchers from a wide range of countries. Most of the lectures are recorded in these Proceedings. The younger members of the Institute made the predominant contribution to the discussion sessions following each lecture and, in addition, provided most of the fifty-five papers that were presented in two lively poster sessions. The ASl emphasised the impressive way in which this research field has developed through the fruitful interaction of theory, experiment and semiconductor device technology. Many of the talks demonstrated both the effectiveness and limitations of semiclassical concepts in describing the quantum phenomena exhibited by electrons in low dimensional structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The outstanding material properties of III-nitride semiconductors has prompted an intense research activity focused on the engineering of resonant tunneling transport within this revolutionary family of wide-bandgap semiconductors. From resonant tunneling diode (RTD) oscillators to quantum cascade lasers (QCLs), nitride devices hold the promise for the realization of high-power ultra-fast sources of terahertz (THz) radiation. Although considerable research effort has been devoted over the past two decades, nitride-based resonant tunneling transport has been demonstrated only during the last four years. In this work, I present the various aspects of heterostructure design, epitaxial growth and device fabrication techniques, which have led to the first unequivocal demonstration of robust resonant tunneling transport and reliable room temperature negative differential conductance in III-Nitride heterostructures. This thesis constitutes a comprehensive work spanning all fronts of experimental, theoretical, and computational research focused on the fundamental physics and engineering of resonant tunneling transport in polar III-nitride semiconductors. Our combined experimental and theoretical approach, allowed us to shed light into the physics of electronic quantum interference phenomena in polar semiconductors which had remained hidden until now, resulting in the discovery of new tunneling features, unique in polar RTDs. The robustness of our experimental data enabled us to track these unique features to the broken inversion symmetry, which generates the built-in spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization fields. After identifying the intimate connection between the polarization fields and the resonant tunneling current, we harness this relationship to develop a completely new approach to measure the magnitude of the internal polarization fields via electron resonant tunneling transport. To get further insight into the asymmetric tunneling injection originated by the polar active region, we present an analytical theory for tunneling transport across polar heterostructures. A general expression for the resonant tunneling current which includes contributions from coherent and sequential tunneling processes is presented. After the application of this new theory to the case of GaN/AlN RTDs, their experimental current-voltage characteristics are reproduced over both bias polarities. This agreement allows us to elucidate the role played by the internal polarization fields on the amplitude of the electronic transmission and broadening of the resonant tunneling line shape. Our analytical model is then employed for the design of high-current density GaN/AlN RTDs which are harnessed as the gain elements of the first microwave oscillators and harmonic multipliers driven by III-nitride RTDs. The findings presented here pave the way for the realization of III-Nitride-based high-speed oscillators and quantum cascade lasers that operate at wavelengths that, until now, remain unreachable by other semiconductor materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semiconductors are at the heart of modern living. Almost everything we do, be it work, travel, communication, or entertainment, all depend on some feature of semiconductor technology. Comprehensive Semiconductor Science and Technology, Six Volume Set captures the breadth of this important field, and presents it in a single source to the large audience who study, make, and exploit semiconductors. Previous attempts at this achievement have been abbreviated, and have omitted important topics. Written and Edited by a truly international team of experts, this work delivers an objective yet cohesive global review of the semiconductor world. The work is divided into three sections. The first section is concerned with the fundamental physics of semiconductors, showing how the electronic features and the lattice dynamics change drastically when systems vary from bulk to a low-dimensional structure and further to a nanometer size. Throughout this section there is an emphasis on the full understanding of the underlying physics. The second section deals largely with the transformation of the conceptual framework of solid state physics into devices and systems which require the growth of extremely high purity, nearly defect-free bulk and epitaxial materials. The last section is devoted to exploitation of the knowledge described in the previous sections to highlight the spectrum of devices we see all around us. Provides a comprehensive global picture of the semiconductor world Each of the work's three sections presents a complete description of one aspect of the whole Written and Edited by a truly international team of experts

This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 1580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors are contained in this volume. A record 1050 scientists from 40 countries participated in the Conference which was held in San Francisco August 6·1 0, 1984. The Conference was organized by the ICPS Committee and sponsored by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics and other professional, government, and industrial organizations listed on the following pages. Papers representing progress in all aspects of semiconductor physics were presented. Far more abstracts (765) than could be presented in a five-day meeting were considered by the International Program Committee. A total of 350 papers, consisting of 5 plenary, 35 invited, and 310 contributed, were presented at the Conference in either oral or poster sessions. All but a few of the papers were submitted and have been included in these Proceedings. An interesting shift in subject matter, in comparison with earlier Conferences, is manifested by the large number of papers on surfaces, interfaces, and quantum wells. To facilitate the use of the Proceedings in finding closely related papers among the sometimes relatively large number of contributions within a main subject area, we chose not to arrange the papers strictly according to the Conference schedule. We have organized the book, as can be seen from the Contents, into specific subcategories and subdivisions within each major category. Plenary and invited papers have been placed together with the appropriate contributed papers.

This book was released on 1997-04-23 with total page 1108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains contributions presented at the 12th International Conference on High Magnetic Fields in Semiconductor Physics. In order to give an overview, 37 lecturers not only reviewed the latest results in their field, but also gave a general introduction. The rapid development of semiconductor physics and technology during the last few years has resulted in an extensive application of high magnetic fields in both fundamental and applied research; more than 160 contributed papers were presented as posters.Sixteen years after its discovery, the quantum Hall effect (QHE) is still a subject of high activity. Many new results on the fractional QHE were presented; in addition to 6 invited papers, there were 43 contributions. Another field of high activity is magneto-optics, and 49 posters were presented. Magnetotransport also turned out to be of high interest, and magnetic semiconductors played a prominent role at the conference, too.Without doubt, the availability of superconducting magnets in most laboratories contributed to the growth of semiconductor physics in high magnetic fields. Because not all experiments can be performed in fields up to 10 or 15 teslas, high magnetic field laboratories offering larger fields are indispensable. There were reports from four laboratories on present work going on at these installations.
