  • on Momentum Conservation and thermionic emission cooling
    Journal of Applied Physics, 2010
    Co-Authors: Changwook Jeong, Mark Lundstrom
    Abstract:

    The possibility of increasing the performance of thermionic cooling devices by relaxing lateral Momentum Conservation is examined. Upper limits for the ballistic emission current are established. It is then shown that for most cases, nonconserved lateral Momentum model produces a current that exceeds this upper limit. For the case of heterojunctions with a much heavier effective mass in the barrier and with a low barrier height, however, relaxing lateral Momentum may increase the current. These results can be simply understood from the general principle that the current is limited by the location, well or barrier, with the smallest number of conducting channels. They also show that within a thermionic emission framework, relaxing lateral Momentum Conservation does not increase the upper limit performance in most cases, and when it does, the increase is modest. More generally, however, especially when the connection to the carrier reservoir is poor and performance is well below the upper limit, relaxing la...

  • on Momentum Conservation and thermionic emission cooling
    arXiv: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics, 2009
    Co-Authors: Raseong Kim, Changwook Jeong, Mark Lundstrom
    Abstract:

    The question of whether relaxing Momentum Conservation can increase the performance of thermionic cooling device is examined. Both homojunctions and heterojunctions are considered. It is shown that for many cases, a non-conserved lateral Momentum model overestimates the current. For the case of heterojunctions with a much heavier effective mass in the barrier and with a low barrier height, however, non-Conservation of lateral Momentum may increase the current. These results may be simply understood from the general principle that the current is limited by the location, well or barrier, with the smallest number of conducting channels. These results also show that within thermionic emission framework, the possibilities of increasing thermionic cooling by relaxing Momentum Conservation are limited. More generally, however, when the connection to the source is weak or in the presence of scattering, the situation may be different. Issues that deserve further study are identified.

  • controlling the polarization and vortex charge of attosecond high harmonic beams via simultaneous spin orbit Momentum Conservation
    Nature Photonics, 2019
    Co-Authors: Kevin M Dorney, Laura Rego, Nathan J Brooks, Julio San Roman, Chenting Liao, Jennifer L Ellis, Dmitriy Zusin, Christian Gentry, Quynh Nguyen, Justin M Shaw
    Abstract:

    Optical interactions are governed by both spin and angular Momentum Conservation laws, which serve as a tool for controlling light-matter interactions or elucidating electron dynamics and structure of complex systems. Here, we uncover a form of simultaneous spin and orbital angular Momentum Conservation and show, theoretically and experimentally, that this phenomenon allows for unprecedented control over the divergence and polarization of extreme-ultraviolet vortex beams. High harmonics with spin and orbital angular momenta are produced, opening a novel regime of angular Momentum Conservation that allows for manipulation of the polarization of attosecond pulses-from linear to circular-and for the generation of circularly polarized vortices with tailored orbital angular Momentum, including harmonic vortices with the same topological charge as the driving laser beam. Our work paves the way to ultrafast studies of chiral systems using high-harmonic beams with designer spin and orbital angular Momentum.

  • microscale generation of entangled photons without Momentum Conservation
    Physical Review Letters, 2019
    Co-Authors: Cameron Okoth, Andrea Cavanna, Tomas Santiagocruz, M V Chekhova
    Abstract:

    We report, for the first time, the observation of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) free of phase matching (Momentum Conservation). We alleviate the need to conserve Momentum by exploiting the position-Momentum uncertainty relation and using a planar geometry source, a $6\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{m}$ thick layer of lithium niobate. Nonphase-matched SPDC opens up a new platform on which to investigate fundamental quantum effects but it also has practical applications. The ultrasmall thickness leads to a frequency spectrum an order of magnitude broader than that of phase-matched SPDC. The strong two-photon correlations are still preserved due to energy Conservation. This results in ultrashort temporal correlation widths and huge frequency entanglement. The studies we make here can be considered as the initial steps into the emerging field of nonlinear quantum optics on the microscale and nanoscale.
