Electronic band structures

Band bending

In solid-state physics, band bending refers to the process in which the electronic band structure in a material curves up or down near a junction or interface. It does not involve any physical (spatial) bending. When the electrochemical potential of the free charge carriers around an interface of a semiconductor is dissimilar, charge carriers are transferred between the two materials until an equilibrium state is reached whereby the potential difference vanishes. The band bending concept was first developed in 1938 when Mott, Davidov and Schottky all published theories of the rectifying effect of metal-semiconductor contacts. The use of semiconductor junctions sparked the computer revolution in 1990. Devices such as the diode, the transistor, the photocell and many more still play an important role in technology.

Bent Waveguides [FDTD animation]

Here, we demonstrate the propagation through bent waveguides with different bending radii. The thickness of all waveguides are same and let's denote as "d" here. Then we have 3 cases where the radius of bending is d, 2d or 3d. With the smaller radius, the leakage from the bending is stro

bisecting an angle with a compass - geometry constructions

In this video, I show how to bisect and angle with a compass and straightedge. This geometry construction uses ideas of congruent triangles, and the technique is useful for cutting an angle into two congruent angles. Outside of this computer software, this is my favorite type of compass t

Understanding Stresses in Beams

In this video we explore bending and shear stresses in beams. A bending moment is the resultant of bending stresses, which are normal stresses acting perpendicular to the beam cross-section. We can easily derive an equation for these bending stresses by observing how a beam deforms for a c

What is Gravitational Lensing?

Gravity's a funny thing. Not only does it tug away at you, me, planets, moons and stars, but it can even bend light itself. And once you're bending light, well, you've got yourself a telescope. Support us at: http://www.patreon.com/universetoday More stories at: http://www.universetoday.c
