Quantum signatures of breather-breather interactions

The spectrum of the Quantum Discrete Nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on a periodic 1D lattice shows some interesting detailed band structure which may be interpreted as the quantum signature of a two-breather interaction in the classical case. We show that this fine structure can be interpreted using degenerate perturbation theory.Comment: 4 pages, 4 fig

Conceptual techniques for reducing parasitic current gain of lateral pnp transistors

Two techniques have been conceptually proposed as possible means of reducing parasitic beta in lateral p-n-p transistors. One method uses a degenerate substrate and high concentration P /plus/ guard-ring diffusion, another places the base contact at the center of an annular ring structure
