Compact Power Supplies Based on Heterojunction Switching in Wide Band Gap Semiconductors NC STATE UNIVERSITY UCSB Goals & Experimental Approach Electron transport –Electrons accelerate in an applied electric field. –Electrons decelerate by the emission of polar optical phonons. Goals –Derive origin of electrons (relative to CBM) from EED spectra. –Determine carrier temperature as a function of applied field. –Establish conditions for transient transport and steady-state transport. –Estimate mean free path, drift velocities under different transport conditions. Experimental approach –Extract conduction electrons from WB material into vacuum –Directly measure energy distribution (EED) of extracted electrons with an electron spectrometer
