Title: effect of temperature in two probe system
Post by: sweta on September 11, 2013, 07:33

Hi everyone,

In two probe system, can we measure the effect of temperature (of device) on current through ATK. If yes, then how?

Thanks!!

Yes and no. It's possible to study thermionic emission (see http://quantumwise.com/documents/tutorials/latest/GrapheneDevice/index.html/chap.conductance.html#chap.conductance.sect1.conductance), meaning you can take the "electron temperature" into account.

But there is no way, currently, to include effects of the lattice temperature.
