...Evgeny L. Pankratov Purpose In this paper, we consider p–n-junctions, manufactured by diffusion or ion implantation in a heterostructures. We analyzed influence of existing in heterostructure mismatch induced stresses on the current-voltage characteristics of the p...

.../methodology/approach – The modeling of current-voltage characteristic of the intergranular barrier in metal oxide varistor ceramics is based on the development of the algorithm. It includes all the known mechanisms of electrotransfer in a wide range of voltages and currents of the current-voltage...

... potential barriers; current-voltage characteristics 1. Introduction At present it is accumulated much enough experimental data as to the problem of degradation phenomena in the structures with intercrystallite potential barriers, in particular, in ceramic zinc oxide varistors [1-4]. However...
