The I-V characteristics of double barrier stair-wells

We investigated the I-V characteristics of the double barrier stair-well structure. Resonant tunneling current is achieved by application of an electric field, which increases the transmission under positive bias and decreases it under the reverse bias. This asymmetry can be used for rectification and the device works as a quantum diode. Furthermore, the same structure can perform, under negative bias, resonant tunneling processes with different characteristics.

Double barrier resonant tunneling diode using annealing induced diffusion modified quantum well is proposed as a viable alternative to that using parabolic quantum well which requires complex techniques to fabricate it.

The room temperature current-voltage characteristics have been calculated using transmission coefficients. The current-voltage characteristics are found to be similar in both diodes.     

Resonant tunneling and enhanced Goos–Hänchen shift in a graphene double velocity barrier structure

Resonant transmission and Goos–Hänchen (GH) shift for Dirac fermion beams tunneling through graphene double velocity barrier structures (DVBs) are investigated theoretically. Analytical and numerical results demonstrate that strong resonant tunneling effect occurs in this structure and is highly dependent on the incident angle and the structure of velocity barriers. The resonant tunneling in graphene DVBs belongs to the Fabry–Pérot resonance and leads to oscillated conduction at wide energy range. It is also found that GH shifts in this structure can be enhanced by the resonant tunneling and multi-GH shift peaks with giant magnitudes can occur at these resonant energy positions. These special properties of GH shifts in graphene DVBs may have good application in lateral manipulation of electron beams and valley or spin beam splitter.     

Observation of Resonant Photon Tunneling in Photonic Double Barrier Structures

Reflectance and transmittance of 632.8 nm He-Ne laser light for photonic double barrier structures (consisting of a SF10 prism, SiO₂ layer, Al or Al₂O₃ active layer, SiO₂ layer and SF10 prism) were measured as a function of the angle of incidence for both the ρ- and s-polarized incidence. Sharp reflection dips and transmission peaks were observed at angles larger than the critical angle of total reflection. The appearance of the transmission peaks can be attributed to resonant photon tunneling through the photonic double barrier structures analogous to resonant electron tunneling through double potential barrier structures. Resonant tunneling is mediated by the long-range surface plasmon polariton in the case of the Al active layer and the electromagnetic guided modes in the case of the Al₂O₃ layer.This paper was originally presented at the seventh Meeting on Near Field Optics, which was held on July 1, 1998 at Nagoya University, Nagoya, organized by Research Group on Near Field Optics, the Optical Society of Japan, an affiliate of Japan Society of Applied Physics. The authors have won the Near Field Optics Award for their best presentation at the meeting.     

Resonant Photon-Assisted Tunneling Through a Coupled Double-Quantum-Dot System

An analytical formula of the tunneling current through a coupled double-quantumdot system in the presence of a time-dependent electric field is obtained by using the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green's function technique. The dependence of the time-averaged current on the frequency of the electric field, as well as the dependence of the multiphoton assisted tunneling on the strength of the electric field are studied. The features of I-V_dc characteristic are also investigated. Besides, we present a simplified formula which can be used to determine the heights of the resonant peaks conveniently.     

Terahertz oscillations in semiconducting carbon nanotube resonant-tunneling diodes

The paper presents the simulation and possible physical implementation of a resonant tunneling diode based on a semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube, which exceeds the performance of similar resonant tunneling devices based on semiconductor heterostructures. In this respect, the oscillation frequency and the output power are predicted to be greater by one order of magnitude, attaining 16 THz and 2.5 μW, respectively. The generated THz signal is directly radiated into free-space through the injection contacts of the resonant tunneling diode, which have the shape of a bowtie antenna.     

Intersubband photocurrent from double barrier resonant tunneling structures

Simple models of semiconductor-based double barrier resonant tunneling structures predict a large accumulation of charge carriers in the structure. These carriers can be excited optically from one subband to another generating photocurrent. In this work we have investigated the photo-induced current due to intersubband excitation in double barrier structures. We have found that the origin of the photocurrent is accumulation of quantized carriers in the emitter-barrier junction of the structure, rather than accumulation of carriers in the double barrier quantum well. This photon assisted tunneling process in double barrier structures may be used for infrared detection.
