Asst. Prof. Yonatan Calahorra
Final project suggestions:
Analytical and numerical analysis of the piezotronic effect – the influence of mechanical stress/strain on the metal/semiconductor barrier height:
The project is theoretical/computational, and will involve adapting the non-ideal model for the barrier height (Bardeen), to a piezoelectric semiconductor. The student will gain a profound understanding of metal/semiconductor junctions, and the piezotronic effect.
