“…The zero-bias detection has an advantage to eliminate biasing circuit and accompanying noise although the similar nonlinearity can be attained by using biased Schottky diode. 25) The zero-bias detection property has already been discussed in particular types of Esaki tunnel diodes, that is called backward diodes, [26][27][28] where forward current is well-suppressed as compared to reverse current by controlling doping profile in small bandgap semiconductors. Our approach using the TBRTD is similar to that using the Esaki diodes in terms of utilizing nonlinearity of I-V 's around zero-bias.…”

Towards an application for terahertz detector, a monolithic integrated device structure of a triple-barrier resonant tunneling diodes (TBRTDs) with a bow-tie antenna is proposed and its terahertz rectification properties are investigated on the basis of a physics-based equivalent circuit model. A possibility of zero-bias detection is examined owing to nonlinear asymmetric current–voltage characteristics. A possibility of broadband zero-bias detection in terahertz range is suggested for a tentatively designed device structure. A method to analyze rectified signal is established taking the self-bias effect into account.

“…AVE propagation of different nature is studied in almost all fields of science and technology [1][2][3]. Wave energy transfer from barely perceptible low levels at nanowatt fractions [4][5][6][7][8][9], to several nanowatt fractions [4][5][6][7][8][9], and to several megawatts in a pulse [10][11][12][13][14], the movement of waves with enormous power during natural disasters such as tsunamis [15][16][17][18][19][20] are of great interest for experimental research, modeling and practical applications. Recently, interesting regularities in formation of the line segments response to an external pulse impact have been discovered and shown in the process of studying the features of interference of waves propagating in coupled strip lines with inhomogeneous dielectric filling [20].…”

An analogy is drawn between the appearance of tsunami waves and "slow" waves in coupled structures (CS). Tectonic disturbances, as the cause of tsunami generation, generate "fast" waves similar to those in СS. The assumption is made that it is theoretically possible to give a rapid prediction of the occurrence of a natural disaster on the basis of information about the disturbing factor and environmental parameters. The paper notes the obvious problem of the lack of information about the parameters of the initial conditions of excitation of a rapid wave of tectonic origin in the prediction of tsunamis. It is possible that the considered electrodynamics analogy "Tsunami" will allow, firstly, to put and solve the problem of reconstruction of disturbing impact parameters, since the information about it comes before consequences, secondly, to develop "desktop" model of tsunami for some areas, thirdly, to develop measures to protect the coast by creating devices for diversion of tsunami wave energy part in safe directions.

A novel unipolar nanodevice, the self‐switching diode (SSD), has recently shown promising properties as an ultrahigh‐speed detector by exploiting its nonlinear diode‐like behavior and its inherently low parasitic capacitance. In this report, two large SSD arrays, each has ∼1000 SSDs connected in parallel within the fingers of an inter‐digital structure, were characterized based on coplanar measurement in the microwave region using a network analyzer. These SSD arrays were realized in a single lithography step, hence allowing for a simple, fast and low‐cost fabrication process. Analysis on rectification properties of SSD is presented and compared with the measurement results. Despite of the large impedance mismatch between SSD array and measurement system, the device was able to rectify microwave signal with extrinsic responsivity achieved up to 400 V/W at unbiased condition. The estimated noise‐equivalent power was ∼41 pW/Hz1/2, comparable to other diode‐based rectifiers at high speed.
