Tunnel diode via dopant concentration

AI Thread Summary
The characteristics of a tunnel diode are significantly influenced by dopant concentration. As the dopant concentration increases, the turn-on voltage typically decreases due to enhanced tunneling effects. This relationship indicates that a higher concentration leads to a lower turn-on voltage, facilitating easier conduction. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding how dopant levels affect diode performance. Overall, the turn-on voltage is inversely related to dopant concentration in tunnel diodes.

Hi, all

i am confusing about the characteristics of tunnel diode
if the dopant concentration increased, how change the turn-on voltage ?

does it depend on concentration ?

if it depends on concentration, does the turn-on voltage increase when the dopant concentration increased ?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
