Dynamics of Single Defects in Metals

9312544戈尔丁这个实验和理论研究项目的目的是对金属中两个紧密相隔的位置之间跳跃或隧道的缺陷的运动和能量学进行详细的微观描述。由于基本的和技术上的原因，人们对缺陷动力学的兴趣最近变得重要起来。实验工具，如光刻技术，正在开发，以允许研究移动的离子及其与传导电子和晶格振动的相互作用。了解这些波动的基本机制对于评估亚微米结构和器件材料的稳定性和可靠性至关重要。本文作者是美国电话电报公司贝尔实验室的项目理论家、联合首席研究员。%*

9312544 Golding The aim of this experimental and theoretical research project is to achieve a detailed, microscopic description of the motion and energetics of defects that hop or tunnel between two closely spaced sites in metals. Interest in defect dynamics has assumed significance recently for fundamental as well as technological reasons. Experimental tools, such as lithographic techniques, are being developed to allow the study of a moving ion and its interactions with conduction electrons and lattice vibrations. Understanding the basic mechanism underlying these fluctuations is crucial for assessing the stability and reliability of material for submicron structures and devices. The project theorist co- principal investigator is at AT&T Bell Laboratories. %%% ***
