In this paper, a comparison is made of the effectiveness of sub-reflector translation and rotation as a means of steering the beam of a classical dual-reflector antenna system.
Forward-bias current-voltage characteristics of molecular beam epitaxy grown Si p+-i-n+ junctions have been determined at room temperature. At small widths of the i zone (Li=5 and 10 nm) band-to-band tunneling with a maximum peak-to-valley ratio of two is observed. Up to Li=30 nm (trap assisted) forward-bias tunneling is apparent with saturation tunneling current densities somewhat lower than in p-n junctions at comparable widths of the space-charge region WSCR(0). For Li≳30 nm and Tg=500 °C growth temperature surface recombination dominates the low bias range. At Li=35 nm and Tg=325 °C, both surface and bulk recombination is observed. We found evidence that Si molecular beam epitaxy layers grown at this low temperature get an increasing density of crystalline defects with growing thickness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
