    Improvements in thermionic cooling through engineering of the heterostructure interface using Monte Carlo simulations
    (AIP Publishing, 2013-07-30) Stephen, A.; Dunn, G. M.; Oxley, C. H.; Glover, James; Montes, Miguel; Cumming, D. R. S.; Khalid, A.; Kuball, M.
    A self-consistent Ensemble Monte Carlo (EMC) model was developed to simulate the thermionic effect in heterostructure barrier coolers. The model was validated on an InGaAs-InGaAsP heterostructure device of variable barrier height and width, producing good quantitative agreement with previous literature results. The operation of the cooler was found to be a complex and intricate process depending on the field, conduction band and details of barrier structure. When applied to a GaAs-AlGaAs micro-cooler there was good agreement with the experimental results. Importantly, very small alterations in the barrier structure were found to lead to considerable changes in device performance

    In0.53Ga0.47As Planar Gunn Diodes Operating at a Fundamental Frequency of 164 GHz
    (IEEE, 2013) Khalid, A.; Li, C.; Papageogiou, V.; Dunn, G. M.; Steer, M. J.; Thayne, I. G,; Kuball, M.; Oxley, C. H.; Montes, Miguel; Stephen, A.; Glover, James; Cumming, D. R. S.
    We present the first results of a planar Gunn diode made in In0.53Ga0.47As on an InP substrate, operating at a fundamental frequency up to 164 GHz. For a 120-μm-wide device with a 1.3-μm active channel length, the highest power achieved was approximately −10 dBm at 164 GHz.
