Acoustoelectric measurement of low carrier mobilities in highly resistive films
The acoustoelectric method of determining carrier mobility µ in semiconductor films has been modified to permit its application to high-resistance, low-mobility films. The conventional method re...

Alteration of Ni silicide formation by N implantation
The possibility of controlling the growth of nickel silicide by implanting N into thin Ni films evaporated on Si substrates has been studied using 4He backscattering spectrometry. The reaction between...

We report a new picosecond optical technique for observation of nonequilibrium carrier transport. An ''overshoot'' electron velocity of 4.4×107 cm/sec is observed at short times in GaAs under appropriate electric field conditions.
