“…6, corresponds to a band bending of 2.8 and 3.5 eV for the higher and lower doped electrodes, respectively. The relation between the current density due to inter-band tunnelling and the electric field, which was first derived by Zener [23] and extended for large bandgap semiconductors by McAfee et al [24], is given by…”

“…The second is the Zener breakdown, which involves the transitions of charge carriers between the valence and conduction band induced by appreciable electric fields [28]. It is also widely referred to as the interband tunneling, and commonly observed in semiconductor crystals [29], such as heavily doped p-n junctions [30]. As recognized, conventional tunneling involves the transition of charge carriers over an energy barrier.…”

“…Так как η = ζ/α 3 , где а -постоянная решетки, то из соотношения hc^pa=pk~1 (ρ-квазиимпульс электрона) следует, что v^qEa/h. Отсюда приближенное выражение для плотности тока имеет вид 13 где V -падение напряжения на расстоянии х.…”
