Acoustoelectric effect in semiconductors
The possibility of electron temperature decreasing below the lattice temperature in the presence of an external electric field (electron cooling) has been pointed out by Paranjape and Ambrose (1964). In the present works ... -
Effect of a strong magnetic field on the Mott Transition in Semiconductors
(1970)This thesis considers the effect of a magnetic field on the transition from a conducting to a non-conducting state in impurity semiconductors, with particular reference to indium antimonide. Two models for such a ... -
Energy states of a hydrogen atom placed between two metal slabs
(1998)In this thesis, we utilize the hydrodynamical model to evaluate the potential energy and self-energy for an electron and a hydrogen atom placed between two semi-infinite metal slabs. The potentials and self-energies are ... -
Hydrostatic pressure effect on the electrical conductivity of indium antimonide
(1976)The electrical conductivity of n-type InSb in the temperature range 77K - 300K has been calculated by using the Boltzmann equation with a relaxation time ansatz. The tv/o dominant scattering mechanisms in this temperature ... -
Lattice vibrations induced by impurities in polar crystals
(1980)The effect of a single or a pair of polarizable impurities on the vibrational frequencies of a solid is investigated. It is shown that the introduction of impurities alters the energy of the crystal due to the coupling ... -
The effects of propagational factors on quantum wires in close parallel proximity
(1993)Recent advances in semiconductor technology have made it possible to produce devices of such small size that electronic conduction through these devices is dominated by the quantum properties of the electron. The fact ...
