Tunneling density

Fig. 4. Left Tunneling density of states measured at 60 mK at the Au surface of Nb-Au bilayer samples with a varying Au thickness Ln. Data from the 130 and 200 nm samples are not shown for ease of reading. Right, top Schematic cross section of the full Nb-Au bilayers sample. Right, bottom STM image (410 x 410 nm2) at 100 mK of the sample with a Au thickness of 72 nm. The rms roughness for this image is 3.4 nm.

Tanuma et al. (1998) calculated the tunneling density of states on the uneven surface of d-wave superconductors and showed that their calculation reproduced various types of anomalous features observed in the actual tunneling experiments, such as ZBCP, double-peak and multiple-dip structures, and a suppressed superconducting gap. They claimed that the wide variety of experimental data showing these features are namral for anisotropic superconductors, and hence, should not be rejected as unidentified spectra observed on degraded surface or in bad junctions (Kashiwaya et al. 1994a). 

This suggests to exploit tunneling as an experimental tool to detect crystal field levels of RE-impurities (Fulde et al., 1970). The physical process which should enable this is the energy dependent life time of the conduction electrons. This leads to a frequency dependent superconducting order parameter. The latter causes a structure in the tunneling density of states which can be measured. In order to demonstrate the crystal-field effects we have plotted in fig. 17.25a the tunneling density of states of a superconductor containing RE-...

The number of integrated carriers, iV, is QA-Iwhere q is the electron charge. Because dark current, is a combination of thermal excitation processes, neglecting avalanche and tunneling, ideal performance occurs when the photon-induced current density Jp is greater than Fluctuations of N are the... 

Under Httle or no illumination,/ must be minimized for optimum performance. The factor B is 1.0 for pure diffusion current and approaches 2.0 as depletion and surface-mode currents become important. Generally, high crystal quality for long minority carrier lifetime and low surface-state density reduce the dark current density which is the sum of the diffusion, depletion, tunneling, and surface currents. The ZM product is typically measured at zero bias and is expressed as RM. The ideal photodiode noise current can be expressed as follows ... 

Flexible foams are resiUent open-ceU stmctures with densities varying from 25—650 kg/m, depending on the choice of the raw materials. Most flexible foams are produced in the form of a slab or bun in a contiauous process in widths up to 2.4 m and thicknesses up to 1.2 m. A Hquid foamable mixture is pumped onto a conveyor, which moves through a tunnel where reaction and foaming occur (101). Similar mixtures can be placed in a mold and allowed to foam. This process is used in the manufacture of automobile seats (see Foamed plastics).

The simplest scheme that accounts for the destruction of phase coherence is the so-called stochastic interruption model [Nikitin and Korst 1965 Simonius 1978 Silbey and Harris 1989]. Suppose the process of free tunneling is interrupted by a sequence of collisions separated by time periods vo = to do After each collision the system forgets its initial phase, i.e., the off-diagonal matrix elements of the density matrix p go to zero, resulting in the density matrix p ... 

In the light of the path-integral representation, the density matrix p Q-,Q-,p) may be semi-classically represented as oc exp[ —Si(Q )], where Si(Q ) is the Eucledian action on the -periodic trajectory that starts and ends at the point Q and visits the potential minimum Q = 0 for r = 0. The one-dimensional tunneling rate, in turn, is proportional to exp[ —S2(Q-)], where S2 is the action in the barrier for the closed straight trajectory which goes along the line with constant Q. The integral in (4.32) may be evaluated by the method of steepest descents, which leads to an optimum value of Q- = Q. This amounts to minimization of the total action Si -i- S2 over the positions of the bend point Q. ... 

Two coefficients have been defined. Cl and Co, relating velocity, density, area, and lift or drag forces. These coefficients can be calculated from wind-tunnel tests and plotted as shown in Figure 7-6b versus the angle of attack...
