Monte Carlo study on anomalous carrier diffusion in inhomogeneous semiconductors (2015)
Journal Article
Mori, N., Hill, R., Patanè, A., & Eaves, L. (2015). Monte Carlo study on anomalous carrier diffusion in inhomogeneous semiconductors. Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 647, Article 012059. https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/647/1/012059

We perform ensemble Monte Carlo simulations of electron diffusion in high mobility inhomogeneous InAs layers. Electrons move ballistically for short times while moving diffusively for sufficiently long times. We find that electrons show anomalous dif...

In graphene devices decorated with a layer of near-infrared colloidal PbS quantum dots (QDs), the choice of the QD capping ligands and the integrity of the QD layer have a strong influence on the doping, carrier mobility, and photoresponse. By using... Read More about Ligand-Induced Control of Photoconductive Gain and Doping in a Hybrid Graphene–Quantum Dot Transistor.
