✦ Synopsis

In this work we analyze the field effect in granular metal films and propose the current-switching device utilizing this effect. It is shown as a result of numerical modeling that efficient current modulation can be achieved in thin granular films if the ratio between charging energy of granules E and thermal energy kT is not less than 10 and the amplitude of the random c0 potential is low compared with the charging energy.

A brief overview is given of the role in radiation dosimetry of electron transport simulations using the Monte Carlo technique. Two areas are discussed in some detail. The first is the calculation of stopping-power ratios for use in ion chamber dosimetry. The uncertainty in stopping-power ratios is

Monte Carlo simulations of carrier transport through an undoped superlattice into an extended well are described. The results illustrate clearly the important role played by LO phonons in relaxing the energy and the desirability of designing structures which minimize the need for acoustic phonon par
