In this paper, electron mobility (μ<;sub>e<;/sub>) and hole mobility (μ<;sub>h<;/sub>) of (110) nFETs and pFETs are studied, respectively. It is demonstrated that, because of the non-parabolicity along <;110>, the conventional effective mass model is insufficient to accurately evaluate the quantum confinement effects in (110) nFETs..
We realized lithographically-defined electrically-tunable silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) without unintentional localized potentials by improving device structures and fabrication techniques. Carrier density was tuned with a top gate and QD-potentials were controlled with the side gates. We succeeded in observing spin-related tunneling phenomena using the double QD device.
The band structures and carrier transport in (110) pFETs are thoroughly studied over a wide temperature range under high magnetic fields. In (110) pFETs, the degenerate hole bands in bulk Si are separated into the higher energy band (H band) and the lower energy band (L band). The energy difference between these bands is experimentally evaluated. The effective masses of each band are directly obtained...
Circadian rhythms, which are observed in most of organisms, e.g. bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals, are self-sustained oscillations with about 24 hours period and a remarkable temperature compensation property. By using the temperature-compensated and robust temperature-compensated deterministic models for circadian rhythms, we perform the stochastic simulations based on the Gillespie's method...
The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) has been measured in Ni81Fe19 thin films which have different widths by using the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) in a Pt wire. The ISHE voltage induced by SSE is enhanced by lengthening the Pt wire. Combined with ISHE, SSE is applicable to the production of electric generators in which the thermoelectric figures of merit are tunable in terms of device structure.
