Monte Carlo Simulation of Multiplication Factor in PIN In0.52Al0.48As Avalanche Photodiodes

In this paper, we calculate electron and hole impactionization coefficients in In0.52Al0.48As using a Monte Carlo modelwhich has two valleys and two bands for electrons and holesrespectively. Also, we calculate multiplication factor for electronand hole initiated multiplication regimes and breakdown voltagein In0.52Al0.48As PIN avalanche photodiodes. To validate themodel, we compare our simulat...

Monte-Carlo Simulation of Nitrogen

The subject of the present paper is computer simulation of a-solid and liquid nitrogen, using a Lennard-Jones atom-atom potential and the isothermal-isobaric Monte-Carlo method. Two sets of calculations were performed, both at the same pressure (1 atm) and temperatures (a-solid at 25 and 35.6 K, liquid at 63.15 and 77.35 K). In the first set the molecules are assumed to be rigid, whereas in the...

Transmission Electron Microscopy at Atmospheric Pressure

The ability to monitor dynamic processes in-situ is crucial for understanding structure-property relationships in nano-engineered materials. In the past decade, the majority of atomic-scale electron microscopy studies involving gas-solid interactions were conducted in an environmental transmission electron microscope (ETEM), where the gas pressure is typically limited to no more than 1/100 of a...

Direct Simulation Monte Carlo Analysis of Microscale Field Emission and Ionization of Atmospheric Air

Ionic winds are formed when air ions are drawn through the atmosphere by applied electric and/or magnetic fields. The ions collide with neutral air molecules, exchanging momentum, causing the neutral molecules to move. Continued collisions and momentum exchanges generate a net flow called an ionic wind [1]. Ionic winds formed near flat plates can produce local boundary layer distortion in the p...
