We have highlighted an underlying physical concept behind the BTBT process that has been mostly overlooked in literature. It has been shown that ignoring the dual nature of electrons and holes during the BTBT phenomenon can not only lead to substantially erroneous results but also to misleading...
Deblina Sarkar was born in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. She received her B.Tech. Degree in Electronics Engineering from the Indian School of Mines University (ISMU), Dhanbad, in 2008. Her undergraduate research was focused on novel nanoscale device design and spintronics which led to the publication of one journal paper and five papers in refereed international conferences. She also won the Best Paper Award in the Annual Paper Meet at the technical fest organized by ISMU . During the summer of 2007, she worked as an intern in Prof. Laurens Molenkamp's Spintronics group at Wurzburg University, Germany. In Fall 2008, she joined Prof. Banerjee's Nanoelectronics group at the University of California, Santa Barbara, as an MS/Ph.D. student. Her current research is focused on exploring novel techniques for improving the energy-efficiency and performance of nano-devices.
