Study Of Nanoidentation And Tip Geometry In Gaas (100) At Ultra-Low-Loads For The Patterning Of Quantum Dots, Robin Prince
Study Of Nanoidentation And Tip Geometry In Gaas (100) At Ultra-Low-Loads For The Patterning Of Quantum Dots, Robin Prince
Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal
In this study, nanoindentations were produced and characterized for the future patterning of quantum dots. Nanoindentation was performed on a Si-doped (n-type) Vertical Gradient Freeze (VGF) GaAs (100) wafer with a 700 nm GaAs (100) layer grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Nanoindentation was performed with a Berkovich diamond tip, a cube corner diamond tip, and a 600 conical diamond tip. Nanoindentation of GaAs has been studied in the past, but not at extremely low loads. Previous research has been done on high load (50-200 mN) and low load (200-8000 mN) nanoindentation. The applied load in this study ranges from …

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal
As the size and proximity of components on modern computer chips approaches quantum mechanical limits, various novel solutions have been proposed to ensure further increases in processing speed and reliability. Of these, small semiconductor devices called quantum dots may constitute the logic gates of future quantum computers - processors taking advantage of phenomena such as entanglement and quantum teleportation to enable ultra-fast computation speeds. Quantum dots behave much like designer atoms in that their absorption/emission energies can be adjusted lo desired values. A quantum mechanical model of semiconductor quantum dots having equal size and interacting with a single-mode electric field …

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
This article will present a fluid dynamical theory for breakdown waves in which the direction of electric field force on electrons is in the opposite direction of wave propagation. We will refer to such waves as antiforce waves. The set of equations describing the model will include the equation of particle mass balance, equation of conservation of momentum, and equation of conservation of energy, coupled with Poisson's equation. This model treats the potential wave front as an electron shock wave propagating forward mainly due to the electron impact ionization. The shock front is succeeded by a thin dynamical transition region …
