Al/p-GaAs Schottky barrier diodes (33 dots) were identically prepared. The effective barrier height values of one of the Al/p-GaAs Schottky barrier diodes were obtained as 0.681 and 0.945 eV from current–voltage characteristics using the thermionic emission theory and capacitance–voltage characteristics, respectively. The discrepancy between the barrier heights was explained in terms of barrier height inhomogeneity approach. It is seen that the Schottky barrier heights and ideality factors obtained from the I-V characteristics differ from diode to diode even if the samples are identically prepared. The origin of the barrier height inhomogeneity was analyzed by considering theoretical results obtained by Tung model. The obtained results indicate that the electron transport at the metal/semiconductor contacts are significantly affected by patches, but, the potential in front of small patches with low SBH surrounded by patches with high SBH is pinched off..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
