Research Abstract |
The characteristic functions and their possible applications of nanosilicon ballistic electron emitter were clarified in liquids, gases, and solids. (1) Operation in liquids : Injection of highly reducing electrons into solutions induces thin film deposition of semiconductors(silicon and germanium) and metals. (2) Operation in gases : It was confirmed that internal electronic excitation of Xe molecules emits vacuum-ultraviolet light without discharging. (3) Operation in solids : The underlying physics of avalanche photoconduction observed in nanosilicon diode was made clear by theoretical analyses of ballistic effect.
