Experimental works managing electrical injection of spin polarization in n-type and p-type silicon have been recently carried out up to room-temperature. In spite of these promising experimental results, a comprehensive theoretical framework concerning the influence of transport conditions on phonon-induced electron spin depolarization in silicon structures, in a wide range of values of lattice temperature,...
A defective double stranded poly(dG)-poly(dC) DNA molecule under axial mechanical strain is analyzed using a tight-binding computational model which allows calculation of the transmission and current characteristics of the system as a function of electron energy. Results show the existence of highly sensitive electron transmission behavior with respect to the on-site energy perturbations.
Though the energy bandgap of strained graphene remains zero, the shift of Dirac points in the k-space due to strain-induced deformation of graphene lattice can lead to the appearance of a finite conduction gap of several hundreds meV in strained/unstrained junctions with a strain of only a few percent. This conduction gap strongly depends on the direction of applied strain and the transport direction...
The ab initio work quantitatively explains the physical mechanism of threshold voltage shifts in n-type and p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors with HfO2/Al2O3 gate stack. In the study, the θ phase alumina has been chosen for better lattice matching of the (100) HfO2 and (100) Si substrate. Using dipole correction method, the dominant dipole moment responsible for the threshold...
Phonon-phonon scattering is included in an atomistic and full-band quantum transport approach where electron and phonon transport are fully coupled based on the Non-equilibrium Green's function formalism. The investigation of self-heating effects in ultra-scaled Si nanowire transistors shows that the artificial accumulation of high energy phonons caused by electron relaxations close to the drain region...
