Understanding the Physics of Resonant Tunneling Diodes

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding resources to learn about the physics of resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs). A user expresses interest in further studying RTDs after a course in microelectronics and nanoelectronics but lacks recommendations from their professor. Suggestions include searching online for academic papers and books, with a mention of Amazon as a potential source. The user also notes financial constraints and shipping issues from Western countries, but another participant recommends checking eBay for affordable used books with international shipping. The conversation highlights the importance of accessible educational resources for those interested in advanced electronics topics.

Hello :) ,

Does anyone know some good paper or book from were it's possible to learn physics behind of work of resonant tunneling diode(RTD)? In last semester I had course in ˝microelectronics and nanoelectronics˝ and we studied basic principle on which RTD works, and it was very interesting to me, so I would like to learn more about it. I asked professor for some additional literature, but I had nothing from there.

So if someone have some suggestion, please tell me about it :).

Thanks!

Sounds interesting. A Google search gives lots of hits -- you probably have seem most of them by now. There's a book at Amazon on the first page of hits that may be of help:

Thanks :) , I saw it. But there is a problem with that, because I don't have that much money for that :( , and I don't live in western countries so I don't think it could be sent to me, here in Serbia :(

Ebay offers wide selection of used books with a cheap price, and worldwide delivery within 2 weeks
 
OK, obviously I'am not well informed about that, so I'll see about that. Thanks!
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
