Monte Carlo simulations of 1keV to 100keV electron trajectories from vacuum through solids into air and resulting current density and energy profiles

Hieke A., GEMIO Technologies, Inc., US

Increased awareness to use environmentally friendly methods for surface sterilization has rejuvenated interest in methods based on electron beam irradiation. Thus far, Monte Carlo electron beam simulations have been described either as typical electron optics [...]

Size Related Contribution to Electron Energy of the Quantum Ring

Filikhin I., Deyneka E., Melikian H.M., Vlahovic B., North Carolina Central University, US

The semiconductor quantum ring (QR) is studied under energy dependent effective mass approximation. The 3D ground state (confined) energy problem is solved numerically by the finite element method in a single subband approach. We obtained [...]

Electron Energy States of INAS/GAAS Quantum Ring Array

Filikhin I., Deyneka E., Melikian G., Vlahovic B., North Carolina Central University, US

Planar array of semiconductor quantum rings is studied under the energy dependent effective mass approximation. Rectangular shape InAs quantum rings (QR) are embedded into the GaAs substrate. The 3D confined energy problem is solved numerically [...]

Effects of Backbone Disorder on Electronic Transport in DNA Molecules

Zhong J.X., Oak Ridge National Laboratory, US

A minimal model was recently proposed to explain the gap opening and the semi-conductor behavior in poly(G)-poly(C) DNA molecules. In this model, the large band gap is attributed to the hybridization of the G-G p [...]
