Sequential two-step electron tunneling from nanoparticles has been studied from a transport point of view. A steady-state balance equation for the partial electron currents is derived and solved to obtain the stationary level occupancy, which leads to the overall tunneling current as a function of the applied field. Our model explains the steplike features observed in high field tunneling exper...

Organic semiconductors offer a unique environment to probe the hyperfine coupling of electronic spins to a nuclear spin bath. We explore the interaction of spins in electron-hole pairs in the presence of inhomogeneous hyperfine fields by monitoring the modulation of the current through an organic light emitting diode under coherent spin-resonant excitation. At weak driving fields, only one of t...

The effect on the operation of a vacuum diode of a spatially varying distribution of free electrons, commonly called space charge, was first considered by Child [1] and Langmuir [2]. In that example electrons are released from a hot cathode at low velocity, and then drift freely under the influence of the local electric field as modified by the drifting electrons. In this problem, deduce the st...

A bstruct-Measurements of the near-field intensity dis ributions of .7 three lead-sulfide-selenide diode lasers operating near 4.8 pm have been made as a function of injection current. Localized emission in the near field exhibits peaked structure of full width from 5 to 10 pm for operation above threshold. From the dependence of the emission profiles on injection current estimates of 25 ...

We report measurements of the ratio of the perpendicular velocity to the parallel velocity, a = ul /ull, of a relativistic electron beam gyrating in a magnetic field by the use of ( 1) Cerenkov emission from a glass plate, detected by a gated microchannel plate image intensifier camera, and (2) electron-beam-induced radiation darkening pattern on the same glass plate. The measurements are based...

Forty microampere current was generated on a platinum-titanium dioxide Schottky diode during the platinum catalyzed steady-state oxidation of carbon monoxide at 80 degrees C. For reaction events that produced four CO(2) molecules, three injected electrons were collected in a diode comprising a 5 nm thick platinum and a 150 nm titanium dioxide film. The electron injection flux depends on the thi...

Large KrF amplifiers use electron beams to excite the laser gas. By necessity, the diode and laser cavity must be isolated by a mechanical barrier; an electron beam diode operates in vacuum, while the laser cavity may be filled with amagats of gas. Isolation is typically accomplished by a metal foil of low mass density which is mechanically supported by a structure having multiple open slots se...
