[IEEE 2018 2nd International Conference on Electronics, Materials Engineering & Nano-Technology (IEMENTech) - Kolkata (2018.5.4-2018.5.5)] 2018 2nd International Conference on Electronics, Materials Engineering & Nano-Technology (IEMENTech) - Effect of Self-Consistency Technique on Current Density Profile of Resonant Tunneling Diode
摘要： This paper reveals the importance of self-consistency technique for computing current density in resonant tunneling device. AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs/AlyGa1-yAs is considered for simulation purpose, and both Schr?dinger and Poisson's equations are simultaneously solved subject to appropriate boundary conditions to obtain current density as a function of externally applied bias. Structural parameters and material compositions within type-I range are varied to get the fluctuations in current, which is otherwise absent when calculation is performed without applying self-consistency technique. Findings are significant as magnitude of current obtained is higher than that obtained when self-consistency is absent. Result has immense importance for low bias application of RTD due to the presence of peaks at particular system compositions.

Charge and thermal modeling of a semiconductor-based optical refrigerator
摘要： Despite multiple attempts to achieve optical refrigeration in very high (99.5%) external quantum efficiency (EQE) GaAs, no cooling has been observed to date. In this study, we investigate optical refrigeration in GaAs by numerically solving the transient drift-diffusion equation coupled to Poisson’s equation. The charge carrier distributions we obtain, together with the heat diffusion equation, allow us to observe the spatial and temporal evolution of cooling/heating within GaAs. Our results indicate that maximum cooling occurs at a laser intensity different from that which maximizes EQE. An 11-fold difference in intensity exists with a corresponding 6-fold difference in cooling power. We ultimately find that samples suspended in vacuum using a 250 lm SiO2 fiber cool to 88 K, starting from room temperature. These results emphasize the critical importance of choosing an appropriate laser excitation intensity to achieve optical refrigeration along with minimizing the conductive heat load on the refrigerator. Furthermore, results of this study are applicable towards analyzing the optical response of other optoelectronic systems where accurate charge and/or heat diffusion modeling is critical.
