Picosecond electric pulse excitation of three- branch ballistic nanodevices
Picosecond electrical pulse excitation of the ballistic three-branch junctions (TBJs) was performed to investigate the electrical response at terahertz frequencies. The generation of picosecond electrical pulses and the signal detection with sub-picosecond temporal resolution were achieved by a photoconductive switch and the time-resolved electro-optical sampling technique, respectively, with t...
متن کاملRoom-Temperature Ballistic Nanodevices
One of the most important physical parameters to describe the quality of a piece of semiconductor material is the electron scattering length le. Also referred to as the mean-free path, it stands for the average distance between the randomly distributed scatterers in the material, such as lattice defects, impurities, and phonons. The electron mean-free path is typically a few nanometers (1 nm = ...
متن کاملExtraordinary carrier multiplication gated by a picosecond electric field pulse
The study of carrier multiplication has become an essential part of many-body physics and materials science as this multiplication directly affects nonlinear transport phenomena, and has a key role in designing efficient solar cells and electroluminescent emitters and highly sensitive photon detectors. Here we show that a 1-MVcm(-1) electric field of a terahertz pulse, unlike a DC bias, can gen...
متن کاملBallistic Electron Transport in Nanoscale Three-Branch Junctions
Presented here is an experimental study on a novel electron device utilizing ballistic electron transport. This device is a three-terminal structure comprised of lithographically defined Y-shaped two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a compound semiconductor heterostructure. Ballistic electron transport causes a nonlinear input-output transfer curve, which can be exploited for signal rectifica...
متن کاملPicosecond microwave pulse generation
Picosecond duration X-band microwave pulses have been generated using a laser-activated photoconductive switch. These pulses have been used to observe the microwave reflection from optically excited germanium. The reflection measurements indicate that the microwave pulse has a full width at half-maximum of 50 ps and is synchronized with picosecond precision to the laser pulse. A high-resolution...
