Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We present a model calculation of hole current oscillations in doped p+pp+ ballistic diodes using the nonparabolic balance-equation theory and a time-dependent drift-diffusion model. Such an oscillation originates from a negative effective mass (NEM) region in the hole dispersion relation. In the present balance-equation calculation, we consider the scatterings by hole-impurity, hole-acoustic phonon, hole-polar-phonon, and hole-nonpolar-phonon–hole interactions, and yield a “N-shape” velocity-field relation, which are quite different from the two-valley results for electrons in bulk GaAs. We provide a detailed analysis of the resulting oscillations as a function of the applied voltage, base length, base doping, and the dispersion relation. Typical frequencies for a 0.2 μm structure NEM oscillator are in the terahertz range. Qualitative agreement is obtained between the present calculations and the existing Boltzmann results.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
