The change in refractive index Delta n produced by injection of free carriers InP, GaAs, and InGaAsP is theoretically estimated. Bandfilling (Burstein-Moss effect), bandgap shrinkage, free-carrier absorption (plasma effect) are included. Carrier concentrations 10/sup 16//cm/sup 3/ to 19//cm/sup photon energies 0.8 2.0 eV considered. Predictions for reasonably good agreement with the limited experimental data available. Refractive changes as large -2/ predicted carrier 8//cm/sup suggested...

Nanoscale ionic programmable resistors for analog deep learning are 1000 times smaller than biological cells, but it is not yet clear how much faster they can be relative to neurons and synapses. Scaling analyses of transport charge-transfer reaction rates point operation in the nonlinear regime, where extreme electric fields present within solid electrolyte its interfaces. In this work, we generated silicon-compatible nanoscale protonic with highly desirable characteristics under fields....

We propose a new quantum-effect electronic device which consists of two one-dimensional electron waveguides which, over certain interaction length, come in close proximity to each other so that coherent quantum mechanical tunneling can take place between them. The degree coupling the is controlled by modulating, through field-effect action gate, height potential energy barrier separates If an wave packet injected into this one waveguides, then probability density function will oscillate back...

AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors stressed under dc bias at various channel temperatures were studied using transmission electron microscopy for evidence of physical damage. Stressed devices consistently developed crack- and pit-shaped defects in the crystal material drain-side edge gate, whereas side-by-side as-processed unstressed did not show these features. Furthermore, amount damage was found to correlate electrical degradation as measured by change <i...
