✦ Synopsis

Landauer's classic 1957 paper on electron transport in the presence of localized scatterers has provided a powerful approach for analysing the local transport field and the driving force for electromigration in metals. This approach leads to local fields which are associated with residual resistivity dipoles and with carrier density modulation, and these Landauer fields contribute to the electromigration driving force. The nature of these fields and their role in electromigration are critically examined and comparisons are made with the results of more elaborate quantum-mechanical theories.

We investigate the magnetoresistance of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the presence of a magnetic tunnel barrier of µm width. The classical 2D electrostatic problem is solved numerically from which we obtain the potential, electric field and current distribution in the 2DEG. We found that

Focusing on the short-size group-III nitride heterostructures, we have developed a model which takes into account main features of transport of electrons injected into a polar semiconductor under high electric fields. The model is based on an exact analytical solution of Boltzmann transport equation
