Figure 10. Transmission probability (Eq. 1) computed for two extreme cases: a) Low effective mass semiconductor (m s = 0.041) in contact with a low effective mass metal (m m = 0.73-W) (black line) and a high effective mass metal (m m = 29.43-Sc) (gray line). The semiconductor conduction band (E CS ) and the metal fermi level (E fm ) are set at 0 eV. b) Transmission probability computed for a larger effective mass semiconductor (m s = 0.53-Si [111]) in contact with the same metals.
