The breakdown voltages of punchthrough-mode diodes with cylindrical junction are analytically calculated, The proposed method, which is based on th Gauss's law, estimates the lateral expansion of the depletion region as well as the electric field and the charge distribution. The proposed method is given in terms of epitaxial layer width, the epitaxial layer doping concentration, and curvature radius of the junction edge. The calculation results agree well with the MEDICI simulation results for various device parameters.

In this paper, we study surfaces of revolution without parabolic points in 3-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$, satisfying the condition ${\Delta}^{II}G=f(G+C)$, where ${\Delta}^{II}$ is the Laplace operator with respect to the second fundamental form, $f$ is a smooth function on the surface and C is a constant vector. Our main results state that surfaces of revolution without parabolic points in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which satisfy the condition ${\Delta}^{II}G=fG$, coincide with surfaces of revolution with non-zero constant Gaussian curvature.

Contemporary differential geometry owes much to the theory of connections on the bundles over manifolds. In this paper, following the work of Gauss on surfaces in 3 dimensional space and the work of Riemann on the curvature tensors on general n dimensional Riemannian manifolds, we will investigate how differential geometry had been developed from mid 19th century to early 20th century through lives and mathematical works of Christoffel, Ricci-Curbastro and Levi-Civita. Christoffel coined the Christoffel symbol and Ricci used the Christoffel symbol to define the notion of covariant derivative. Levi-Civita completed the theory of absolute differential calculus with Ricci and discovered geometric meaning of covariant derivative as parallel transport.

In this paper, first we introduce the full expression of the Riemannian curvature tensor of a real hypersurface M in the complex quadric Q^m from the equation of Gauss and some important formulas for the structure Jacobi operator R_ξ and its derivatives ∇R_ξ under the Levi-Civita connection ∇ of M. Next we give a complete classification of Hopf real hypersurfaces with Reeb parallel structure Jacobi operator, ∇_ξR_ξ = 0, in the complex quadric Q^m for m ≥ 3. In addition, we also consider a new notion of 𝒞-parallel structure Jacobi operator of M and give a nonexistence theorem for Hopf real hypersurfaces with 𝒞-parallel structure Jacobi operator in Q^m, for m ≥ 3.

Suppose that M is a strictly convex hypersurface in the (n + 1)-dimensional Euclidean space 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ with the origin o in its convex side and with the outward unit normal N. For a fixed point p ∈ M and a positive constant t, we put 𝚽_t the hyperplane parallel to the tangent hyperplane 𝚽 at p and passing through the point q = p - tN(p). We consider the region cut from M by the parallel hyperplane 𝚽_t, and denote by I_p(t) the (n + 1)-dimensional volume of the convex hull of the region and the origin o. Then Schneider's characterization theorem for ellipsoids states that among centrally symmetric, strictly convex and closed surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space 𝔼³, the ellipsoids are the only ones satisfying I_p(t) = 𝜙(p)t, where 𝜙 is a function defined on M. Recently, the characterization theorem was extended to centrally symmetric, strictly convex and closed hypersurfaces in 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ satisfying for a constant 𝛽, I_p(t) = 𝜙(p)t^𝛽. In this paper, we study the volume I_p(t) of a strictly convex and complete hypersurface in 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ with the origin o in its convex side. As a result, first of all we extend the characterization theorem to strictly convex and closed (not necessarily centrally symmetric) hypersurfaces in 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ satisfying I_p(t) = 𝜙(p)t^𝛽. After that we generalize the characterization theorem to strictly convex and complete (not necessarily closed) hypersurfaces in 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ satisfying I_p(t) = 𝜙(p)t^𝛽.
