Confinement-enhanced electron transport across a metal-semiconductor interface.
We present a combined scanning tunneling microscopy and ballistic electron emission microscopy study of electron transport across an epitaxial Pb/Si(111) interface. Experiments with a self-assembled Pb nanoscale wedge reveal the phenomenon of confinement-enhanced interfacial transport: a proportional increase of the electron injection rate into the semiconductor with the frequency of electron o...
متن کاملTwo-temperature nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation of thermal transport across metal-nonmetal interfaces
We have used a two-temperature nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method for predicting interfacial thermal resistance across metal-nonmetal interfaces. This method is an extension of the conventional nonequilibrium molecular dynamics for the dielectric-dielectric interface, where a temperature bias is imposed and the heat current is derived. We have included the electron degree of freedom for t...
متن کاملLarge electron-phonon coupling at an interface.
The strength of electron-phonon coupling in atomically uniform films of Ag on Fe is determined by angle-resolved photoemission from quantum well states in these films over a wide temperature range. As the film thickness is reduced, contributions from the surface and interface should become more important, and, experimentally, a large enhancement with superimposed quantum oscillations is observe...
متن کاملHot phonon effect on electron velocity saturation in GaN: A second look
A theoretical model is developed for electron velocity saturation in high power GaN transistors. It is shown that electron velocity at high electric fields is reduced due to heating of electron gas since the high density of nonequilibrium LO phonons cannot efficiently transfer heat to the lattice. However, the resulting degradation of electron velocity is found to be weaker than previously repo...
متن کاملThe effect of coherent optical phonon on thermal transport
Phonons are quantized lattice vibrations and the major heat carriers in most crystalline materials. We have been utilizing femtosecond phonon spectroscopy to excite and detect optical coherent phonons (CPs) in various materials. However, the impact of CPs to overall thermal transport is still unknown. In this study, we developed a small perturbation model in MD to simulate CPs and investigate t...
