3P-n junction — A p n junction is a junction formed by combining P type and N type semiconductors together in very close contact. The term junction refers to the region where the two regions of the semiconductor meet. It can be thought of as the border region… …
4Long Josephson junction — In superconductivity, a long Josephson junction (LJJ) is a Josephson junction which has one or more dimensions longer than the Josephson penetration depth lambda J. This definition is not strict.In terms of underlying model a short Josephson… …
5Break junction — A break junction is an electrical junction between two wires formed by pulling the wires apart to produce electrodes separated by a few atomic distances. In this technique a metal wire is bent or pulled, often using a piezoelectric crystal to… …
6Magnetic Tunnel Junction — Magnetischer Tunnelkontakt (schematisch) Der magnetische Tunnelwiderstand (engl. Tunnel Magneto Resistance, Abk: TMR) ist ein magnetoresistiver Effekt, der in magnetischen Tunnelkontakten auftritt. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Bauelement… …
7Nonrectifying junction — In fabricating semiconductor devices, contact between the metal wires and the semiconductor material can create rectifying junctions, also known as Schottky diodes. This is dependent (in the Schottky model) on the difference between the work… …
8Schottky barrier — A Schottky barrier is a potential barrier formed at a metal semiconductor junction which has rectifying characteristics, suitable for use as a diode. The largest differences between a Schottky barrier and a p n junction are its typically lower… …
