Investigation of Schottky Barriers
Abstract
This report summarizes the technical progress made in the study of perturbations to transport in Schottky barriers, and in development of ab initio electronic structure techniques tailored to the study of Schottky barriers. The objective of the Schottky barrier transport studies is to obtain quantitative modeling of current transport through the depletion region that complements the experimental work of Professor Spicer at Stanford, and of the development of electronic structure techniques to provide a means to study the energetics of formation of Schottky barriers, and other properties related to electronic structure, such as band offsets and band structure. Both projects are heavily computational by nature, and this year's progress was mostly confined to developing the required numerical techniques that will yield the desired results. This report shows the substantial progress has been made in both areas, and that we are nearing completion of working tools that will enable to conduct new studies concerning several different aspects o Schottky barrier phenomena.
