Abstract

Observations of tunneling in Schottky barriers made from $n$- and $p$-type GaAs with Au as the metallic element are presented in detail. The characteristics are expressed in terms of the dependence of incremental resistance $\frac{\mathrm{dV}}{\mathrm{dI}}$ on applied voltage $V$. These are interpreted in terms of a theory which uses the WKBJ approximations and a two-band formulation for the dispersion of states of the forbidden gap. An experimental determination of this dispersion is made which proves to be consistent with the theory. In this determination, a technique is introduced in which the characteristics are measured directly as $\frac{d\mathrm{ln}I}{\mathrm{dV}}$. Fine structure is observed superposed on the background characteristic at $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}\ensuremath{\hbar}{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{0}$ and is interpreted as a manybody polar (polaron) interaction. Some new aspects of the problem of zero-bias anomalies are presented.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
