Enhanced tunnel current through thin oxide due to single-defect scattering
We have studied the conduction current from an n-silicon substrate to n+-polycrystalline-silicon gate through an ultrathin oxide layer. Carrier transmission through the thin oxide layer is enhanced by...

Snapback behavior of the postbreakdown I–V characteristics in ultrathin SiO2 films
With the I–V measurement technique that forced a current to an ultrathin gate oxide and measured the voltage drop, a snapback phenomenon, i.e., the gate oxide was switched from a higher-impedance...

We present experimental data, numerical simulations, and analytical transfer-matrix calculations for a two-dimensionally isotropic, left-handed metamaterial (LHM) at X-band microwave frequencies. A LHM is one that has a frequency band with simultaneously negative epsiloneff(omega) and µeff(omega), thereby having real values of index of refraction and wave vectors, and exhibiting extended wave propagation over that band. Our physical demonstration of a two-dimensional isotropic LHM will now permit experiments to verify some of the explicit predictions of reversed electromagnetic-wave properties including negative index of refraction as analyzed by Veselago [Usp. Fiz. Nauk 92, 517 (1964), Sov. Phys. Usp. 10, 509 (1968)]. ©2001 American Institute of Physics.
