Narrow-gap semiconductor magnetic field sensors and applications
Narrow-gap semiconductors have been used for decades in the fabrication of magnetic field sensors, such as magnetoresistors and Hall sensors. Magnetic field sensors are, in turn, used in conjunction with permanent magnets to make contactless potentiometers and rotary encoders. This sensing technology offers the most reliable way to convert a mechanical movement into an electrical signal, and is...
متن کاملWeak-field magnetoresistance coefficients and the related magnetoresistance skewness effect
2014 This work presents an overall view of the measurements concerning the galvanomagnetic coefficients in the weak-field case with an attempt to emphasize the physical significance of the results. The method is based on the anisotropy induced in the electrical behaviour by the magnetic field. Emphasis is also given in explaining the magnetoresistance skewness effect. A comparison with the clas...
متن کاملEnhanced Room-Temperature Geometric Magnetoresistance in Inhomogeneous Narrow-Gap Semiconductors.
A symmetric van der Pauw disk of homogeneous nonmagnetic indium antimonide with an embedded concentric gold inhomogeneity is found to exhibit room-temperature geometric magnetoresistance as high as 100, 9100, and 750,000 percent at magnetic fields of 0.05, 0.25, and 4.0 teslas, respectively. For inhomogeneities of sufficiently large diameter relative to that of the surrounding disk, the resista...
متن کاملWeak-field Magnetoresistance and the Valence-Band Structure of SnTet
Some time ago, we found that the weak-field magnetoresistance in /)-type SnTe exhibits a peculiar symmetry which, moreover, lb ^ong function of both carrier density and temperature. ■ The main purpose of this paper is to describe a conceptually simple model which can account for this unusual behavior in a straightforward way. Section II is concerned with experimental details, and Sec. Ill prese...
متن کاملSemiconductor waveguide inversion in disordered narrow band-gap materials
It has been previously demonstrated that it is possible to form the NOT gate in a coupled semiconductor waveguide structure in III–V materials. However, to this point, investigations have assumed the materials to be perfect. In this article, we present results of a semiconductor waveguide inverter in GaAs and InAs with disordered material effects included in the simulation. The behavior of the ...
