SIMPLE METHOD FOR MEASURING HOT-ELECTRON TEMPERATURE IN GAAS

A simple method is proposed to measure the hot-electron temperature, using an Au-GaAs Schottky barrier diode. The obtained temperature of electrons under the electric field of 500 V/cm and 1100 V/cm are 316 K and 336 K, respectively, while the samples are kept at room temperature.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:A1987F877800040&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicSCI(E)EI0ARTICLE155-562
