Heterojunctions in Extreme Sub-Zero Conditions: Quantum and Operational Analysis

POSTER

Abstract

Various advances in materials science and computer engineering have rendered a fully comprehensive and intrinsic understanding of the behaviors of most common semiconductor heterojunctions, especially as it pertains to their respective electrodynamics on the quantum scale. Thus, the present study interpolates the material and operational understandings of semiconductor heterojunctions into low temperature settings via observations previously published in journals and subsequent physical analysis of these findings. Comprehensive thermodynamic understanding of heterojunction behavior in extreme conditions could lead to interesting developments in semiconductor physics, materials science and solid-state physics.

Keywords: Semiconductors, heterojunctions, heterostructures, low temperature physics, materials science, thermodynamics, quantum dynamics

Note: The author wishes to clarify that the words ‘heterojunction’ and ‘heterostructure’, though different in certain regards, are fundamentally interchangeable and as such are done so here.
