Tunnel-Diode Low-Level Detection

An analysis of tnmel-diode low-level detection is presented for the purpose of explaining some of the unusual detection characteristics that occur under certain hias conditions. For example, in the vicinity of its inflection hias point, a tmmel diode exhibits a discriminator-like rectification behavior with two sensitivity peaks. When biased at one of these peaks, the diode is capable of unusua...

Plasmon-induced hot carriers in metallic nanoparticles.

Plasmon-induced hot carrier formation is attracting an increasing research interest due to its potential for applications in photocatalysis, photodetection and solar energy harvesting. However, despite very significant experimental effort, a comprehensive theoretical description of the hot carrier generation process is still missing. In this work we develop a theoretical model for the plasmon-i...
