The effects of dielectric screening on the two dimensional polar optical phonon scattering and on electron transport in Ga0.51In0.49P/InxGa1-xAs/GaAs (x=0, 0.15, and 0.25) modulation doped heterostructures and high electron mobility transistors are investigated through the ensemble Monte Carlo technique. The two dimensional polar optical phonon scattering rates including and excluding dielectric screening effects are calculated using the self-consistently evaluated electronic states in the quantum well. The calculated scattering rates are compared in order to see the effects of screening on the inter- and intra-subband scattering. Screening significantly lowers the intra-subband polar optical phonon scattering rates in both lattice matched and pseudomorphic structures. This results in a considerable lowering of the critical electric field beyond which negative differential resistance is seen. Screening also modifies the dependence of transport properties on the quantum well parameters. The results of the ensemble Monte Carlo simulations of high electron mobility transistors show that the performance of the device is considerably underestimated, if screening is not included in the calculation of the polar optical phonon scattering rates.

Ensemble monte carlo study of nonequilibrium carrier dynamics in photo-excited p-i-n, structures
Guncer, SE; Ferry, DK (1996-04-01)
Light scattering from conduction electrons (or from valence holes) can give information on the time-resolved velocity distribution of nonequilibrium carriers. The experimental approach utilizes, e.g., Raman scattering from the single particles to ascertain the velocity distribution. Calculation of the distribution function through an ensemble Monte Carlo technique allows a comparison between the experiment and theory. Here, this is demonstrated with studies of a GaAs p-i-n structure embedded within cladding...
Radiation impedance study of a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer by finite element analysis
Bayram, Barış (2015-08-01)
In this study, radiation impedance of a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer composed of square-shaped membranes arranged in m x m configuration (m = 1 - 5) is investigated using finite element analysis (FEA) of a commercially available software package (ANSYS). Radiation impedance is calculated for immersed membranes operating in conventional and collapse modes. Individual membrane response within the multi-membrane configuration is analyzed, and excited modes and their effects on radiation imped...
Free vibration characteristics of a 3d mixed formulation beam element with force-based consistent mass matrix
Soydas, Ozan; Sarıtaş, Afşin (2017-09-01)
In this analytical study, free vibration analyses of a 3d mixed formulation beam element are performed by adopting force-based consistent mass matrix that incorporates shear and rotary inertia effects. The force-based approach takes into account the actual distribution of mass of an element in the derivation of the mass matrix. Moreover, the force-based approach enables accurate determination of free vibration frequencies of members with varying geometry and material distribution without any need for specif...
Experimental Realization of Single Current Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography
Sadighi, Mehdi; Şişman, Mert; Açıkgöz, Berk Can; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2020-08-08)
To obtain low-frequency anisotropic conductivity distribution of biological tissues recently Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (DT-MREIT), which is combination of DTI and MREIT techniques, is proposed. There are two in vivo applications of DT-MREIT in the literature where two linearly independent current injection patterns are used. Decreasing the number of current injection patterns to one improves the feasibility of DT-MREIT in clinical applications. In this study, DT-MRE...
Pseudorapidity dependence of long-range two-particle correlations in pPb collisions at root sNN=5.02 TeV
Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (2017-07-01)
Two-particle correlations in pPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV are studied as a function of the pseudorapidity separation (Delta eta) of the particle pair at small relative azimuthal angle (|Delta phi| < pi/3). The correlations are decomposed into a jet component that dominates the short-range correlations (|Delta eta| < 1), and a component that persists at large Delta eta and may originate from collective behavior of the produced system. The events are classified in term...
