Quasi-ballistic-electron transport in random superlattices.
We theoretically study electron transport in disordered, quantum-well based, semiconductor superlattices with structural short-range correlations. Our system consists of equal width square barriers and quantum wells with two different thicknesses. The two kinds of quantum wells are randomly distributed along the growth direction. Structural correlations are introduced by adding the constraint t...
متن کاملQuasi-ballistic electron transport in double-wall carbon nanotubes
Room-temperature quasi-ballistic electron transport in double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNT) is demonstrated. Conductance dependence on the length was measured by submerging DWNTs into liquid mercury. The conductance plots show plateaus, indicating weak dependence of the electrode–tube–electrode electrical resistance on the length of the connecting nanotube. We infer a mean free path between 0.6 ...
متن کاملElectron Transport in Semiconductor Superlattices
In this paper, we rigorously derive a diffusion model for semiconductor superlattices, starting from a kinetic description of electron transport at the microscopic scale. Electron transport in the superlattice is modelled by a collisionless Boltzmann equation subject to a periodic array of localized scatters modeling the periodic heterogeneities of the material. The limit of a large number of p...
متن کاملSimulating Quasi-Ballistic Transport in Si Nanotransistors
Electron transport in model Si nanotransistors is examined by numerical simulation using a hierarchy of simulation methods, from full Boltzmann, to hydrodynamic, energy transport, and drift-diffusion. The on-current of a MOSFET is shown to be limited by transport across a lowfield region about one mean-free-path long and located at the beginning of the channel. Commonly used transport models ba...
متن کاملElectron transport in quantum wire superlattices
Electronic transport is theoretically investigated in laterally confined semiconductor superlattices using the formalism of nonequilibrium Green’s functions. Velocity-field characteristics are calculated for nanowire superlattices of varying diameters, from the quantum dot superlattice regime to the quantum well superlattice regime. Scattering processes due to electron-phonon couplings, phonon ...
