• Allows flow of electrons in one direction only (e.g., useful to convert alternating current to direct current.• Processing: diffuse P into one side of a B-doped crystal.• Results:

--No applied potential: no net current flow.

--Forward bias: carrier flow through p-type and n-type regions; holes and electrons recombine at p-n junction; current flows.

--Reverse bias: carrier flow away from p-n junction; carrier conc. greatly reduced at junction; little current flow.

• Electrical conductivity and resistivity are: -- material parameters. -- geometry independent.• Electrical resistance is: -- a geometry and material dependent parameter.• Conductors, semiconductors, and insulators... -- differ in accessibility of energy states for conductance electrons.• For metals, conductivity is increased by -- reducing deformation -- reducing imperfections -- decreasing temperature.• For pure semiconductors, conductivity is increased by -- increasing temperature -- doping (e.g., adding B to Si (p-type) or P to Si (n-type).

large coercivity--good for perm magnets--add particles/voids to make domain walls hard to move (e.g., tungsten steel:

• Hard vs Soft Magnets

small coercivity--good for elec. motors(e.g., commercial iron 99.95 Fe)

Limits of Superconductivity

• 26 metals + 100’s of alloys & compounds • Unfortunately, not this simple:

Jc = critical current density if J > Jc not superconducting

Hc = critical magnetic field if H > Hc not superconducting

Hc= Ho (1- (T/Tc)2)

Chapter 20 -24

Advances in Superconductivity

• This research area was stagnant for many years.

– Everyone assumed Tc,max was about 23 K

– Many theories said you couldn’t go higher

• 1987- new results published for Tc > 30 K

– ceramics of form Ba1-x Kx BiO3-y

– Started enormous race. • Y Ba2Cu3O7-x Tc = 90 K

• Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3Ox Tc = 122 K

• tricky to make since oxidation state is quite important

• Values now stabilized at ca. 120 K

Chapter 20 -25

Meissner Effect

• Superconductors expel magnetic fields

• This is why a superconductor will float above a magnet

• A magnetic field can be produced by: -- putting a current through a coil.• Magnetic induction: -- occurs when a material is subjected to a magnetic field. -- is a change in magnetic moment from electrons. • Types of material response to a field are: -- ferri- or ferro-magnetic (large magnetic induction) -- paramagnetic (poor magnetic induction) -- diamagnetic (opposing magnetic moment)• Hard magnets: large coercivity.• Soft magnets: small coercivity.• Magnetic storage media: -- particulate -Fe2O3 in polymeric film (tape or floppy) -- thin film CoPtCr or CoCrTa on glass disk (hard drive)
