We performed coplanar waveguide-based broadband ferromagnetic resonance experiments on the antiferromagnetic insulator MnF 2 , while simultaneously recording the DC voltage arising in a thin platinum film deposited onto the MnF 2 . The antiferromagnetic resonance is clearly reflected in both the transmission through the waveguide as well as the DC voltage in the Pt strip. The DC voltage remains largely unaffected by field reversal and thus presumably stems from microwave rectification and/or heating effects. However, we identify a small magnetic field orientation dependent contribution, compatible with antiferromagnetic spin pumping theory. arXiv:1507.04490v1 [cond-mat.mtrl-sci] 16 Jul 2015
A GaAlAs/GaAs heterojunction transistor has been made using liquid-phase epitaxy. The emitter stripe was lO/uni wide by 100jum long. The base and emitter had equal impurity content around 5 X 10 23 /m 3 but, with the wide band gap GaALAs emitter, low-frequency current gains approaching 2000 were found. This is amongst the highest so far recorded for this type of transistor. The alpha-cutoff frequency was estimated to be around 1 GHz, but the unity gain frequency was experimentally as low as 100 MHz. This was attributed to high r.f. resistance, possibly caused by the Schottky barrier contact to the base region. When the basecollector region was driven close to primary breakdown, current densities in excess of 3 X 10 7 A/m a could be obtained without secondary breakdown occurring, at least for the duration of the bias pulse. This appeared to be about an order of magnitude better than for a comparable Si transistor. Avalanche multiplication could then increase the unity gain frequency to 400 MHz.
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.
