Theory of magnetic-field enhancement of surface-field terahertz emission
We present a theoretical treatment of surface–field THz generation in semiconductors, which explains the power enhancement observed when a magnetic field is applied. Our model consists of two parts: a Monte Carlo simulation of the dynamics of carriers generated by a subpicosecond optical pulse, and a calculation of the resulting THz radiation emitted through the semiconductor surface. The magne...
متن کاملParadox of low field enhancement factor for field emission nanodiodes in relation to quantum screening effects
We put forward the quantum screening effect in field emission [FE] nanodiodes, explaining relatively low field enhancement factors due to the increased potential barrier that impedes the electron Fowler-Nordheim tunneling, which is usually observed in nanoscale FE experiments. We illustratively show this effect from the energy band diagram and experimentally verify it by performing the nanomani...
متن کاملField enhancement factor: A self-validating method
A general method is presented for calculating the field enhancement factor of cylindrically symmetric high aspect ratio conductive structures. A discrete distribution of charges is used on the symmetry axis to replace the real charge distribution such that the electrostatic potential satisfies a set of boundary conditions. Their number will be set through a self-validating process. The method i...
متن کاملOrigin of electric field enhancement in field emission from amorphous carbon thin films
The observation of electron emission from amorphous carbon thin films at low applied electric fields is explained in terms of an enhancement of the field brought about by dielectric inhomogeneities within the film. These inhomogeneities originate from the differences between conductive, spatially localized sp C clusters surrounded by a more insulating sp matrix. By a more complete understanding...
متن کاملOptical field enhancement factor of Silicon and indium phosphide nano-cavities
Nano cavities based on silicon and indium phosphide materials have been comparedin this study, considering field intensity enhancement factor. The results of FDTD based simulations declare that the Si nano-cavity improves confined optical field about 7.7 times higher than the InP based nano-cavity. The introduced dielectric nano-cavities support resonance wavelength at about λ=1.55 μm.
