The results identify important electron heavy-particle processes in the etching process.
The knowledge of electron heavy-particle interactions plays a crucial role in the modelling of plasma etch processes.
Radiation of special interest includes electrons, heavy charged particles, photons, and neutrons.
The calculation was performed considering separate isolated bands for electrons, heavy and light holes.
First, strain effects on electrons, heavy holes (hh) and light holes (lh) energy bands for strained/relaxed Ge1−xSnx/Ge1−ySny heterointerfaces are investigated using the model-solid theory in the whole ranges (0 ⩽ x, y ⩽ 1) of Sn compositions.
We have calculated the density of states for various values of the applied electric field, and results indicate a richly peaked structure associated to quasi-bound states of electrons, heavy holes and light holes.
An important feature is that the electrons are not in thermodynamic equilibrium with the background gas due to the largely different masses (light electrons, heavy atoms, and molecules).
The magnetic field dependent electron-heavy hole transition energies with the dot radius in a GaInNAs/GaAs quantum dot are investigated.
The spectrum depicted in Fig. 4a (10-nm GaAs deposited on top of the hole) is dominated by a peak at 1.45 eV, which is attributed to the electron-heavy hole recombination of the 10-nm-thick GaAs QW of the flat area in between the MGS.
Christos Anastopoulos was first exposed to the ATLAS experiment in 2004 when, as a B.Sc. student at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece, he contributed to the construction of the ATLAS muon spectrometer, a part of the machinery that detects electrons' heavier cousins.
