Height of the Potential Barrier in Barrier Layer Cells

The impact of barrier height distributions in tunnel junctions

We demonstrate that including continuous and discrete tunnel barrier height distributions in otherwise traditional tunneling formalisms enables straightforward modeling of several phenomena important to tunneling. Random barrier height inhomogeneities significantly impact the tunneling conductance, as evidenced by ideal tunneling models extracting faulty barrier parameters, with the incurred er...

Defect Analysis of Barrier Height Inhomogeneity in Titanium 4H-SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes

Schottky-barrier height modulation of metal/In0.53Ga0.47As interfaces by insertion of atomic-layer deposited ultrathin Al2O3

The improvement of the metal/InGaAs interface is essential for the future application of InGaAs metal source/drain Schottky-barrier metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors. In this article, on In0.53Ga0.47As, the authors examine the recently proposed method of inserting an ultrathin insulator to modulate the effective Schottky-barrier height SBH at the metal/semiconductor interface. ...

understanding the concept of the lofty barrier (araf) and the men of the lofty barrier (arafs) in expository narratives

one of the quranic concepts concerning the hereafter is the lofty barrier (araf) and their men regarding which the words of revelation of 46-49 in araf surah in the holy quran have pointed this concept. there are different viewpoints among commentators concerning what and where the lofty barrier is, and also who the men of the lofty barrier are. regarding this, different viewpoints have been ta...

Stem Cells behind the Barrier

Epidermal stem cells sustain the adult skin for a lifetime through self-renewal and the production of committed progenitors. These stem cells generate progeny that will undergo terminal differentiation leading to the development of a protective epidermal barrier. Whereas the molecular mechanisms that govern epidermal barrier repair and renewal have been extensively studied, pathways controlling...
