Wenshen answers “thermionic or tunneling? The universal transition electric field in ideal Schottky barrier diodes”

Ideal Schottky barrier diode is an extremely well studied topic in the past 70 years!  What’s new in Wenshen’s discovery in 2020?  It turned out that the carrier transport region dominated by both thermionic emission and tunneling is relatively murky.  Wenshen provides an elegant guideline for one to quickly identify this murky region.  That is why it has been selected as an “Editor’s Pick“.
