We report experimental data and modeling results based on device physics and circuit parameters for the spontaneous firing patterns for silicon p-i-n structures at 4.2 K controlled by a constant current source. The model provides insights into the sensitivity of the pulsing rate and explains the wide range of behavior. observed. The knowledge on the effect of these parameters on pulsing is crit...

The quantum transport computations have been carried on four different width of zigzag graphene using a nonequilibrium Green’s function method combined with density functional theory. The computed properties are included transmittance spectrum, electrical current and quantum conductance at the 0.3V as bias voltage.  The considered systems were composed from one-layer graphene sheets differing w...

In this paper, a numerical study of barrier characterization effects on the high-temperature internal performance of an InGaAsP multi-quantum well laser is presented. The softwareused for this purpose self-consistently combines the three-dimensional simulation of carrier transports, self-heating, and optical waveguiding. The laser model calculates all relevant physical mechanisms, including the...

Quantum transport properties of pure and functioned infinite lead-connection region-lead systembased on the zigzag graphene nanoribbon (2-zGNR) have been investigated. In this work the effectof the doping functionalization on the quantum transport of the 2-zGNR has been computationallystudied. Also, the effect of the imposed gate voltages (-3.0, 0.0 and +3.0 V) and bias voltages 0.0 to2.0 V hav...

Quantum cognition is an emerging field that uses mathematical principles of quantum theory to help formalize and understand cognitive systems and processes. The topic on the potential of using quantum theory to build models of cognition (Volume 5, issue 4) introduces and synthesizes its new development through an introduction and six core articles. The current issue presents 14 commentaries on ...

A critique of the state of current quantum theory in physics is presented, based on a perspective outside the normal physics training. From this perspective, the acceptance of quantum nonlocality seems unwarranted, and the fundamental assumptions that give rise to it in the first place seem questionable, based on the current status of the quantum theory of light. The relevant data can instead b...
