Two schemes, the noises originating from the nearby mesoscopic circuit and from the electromagnetic wave disturbance in external environment, are investigated. We found that the proposed cell can manifest as a good constant current source and the output current may not reach its largest value even if the circuit is shorted.展开更多

The expressions for the mean number ofLO phonons and the effective mass of the bipolaron are derived. Numerical results show that the mean number of LO phonons of the bipolaron decreases with increasing the temperature and the relative distance r between two electrons, but increases with increasing the electron-phonon coupling strength a The effective mass of the bipolaron M＊ increases rapidly with increasing the relative distance r between two electrons when r is smaller, and it reaches a maximum at r ≈ 4.05rp, while after that, 34＊ decreases slowly with increasing r. The effective mass of the bipolaron M＇ decreases with increasing the temperature. The electron-phonon coupling strength a markedly influences the changes of mean number of LO phonons and the effective mass M＊ with the relative distance r and the temperature parameter y.展开更多
