Impact ionization coefficients of 4H-SiC were measured at room temperature and at elevated temperatures up to 200°C. Photomultiplication measurement was done in two complementary photodiodes to measure the multiplication factors of holes (Mp) and electrons (Mn), and ionization coefficients were extracted. Calculated breakdown voltage using the obtained ionization coefficients showed good agreement with the measured values in this study, and also in other reported PiN diodes and MOSFETs. In high-temperature measurement, breakdown voltage exhibited a positive temperature coefficient and multiplication factors showed a negative temperature coefficient. Therefore, extracted ionization coefficient has decreased which can be explained by the increase of phonon scattering. The calculated temperature dependence of breakdown voltage agreed well with the measured values not only for the diodes in this study, but also in PiN diode in other literature.

Relating the temperature dependence of photosynthetic biomass production to underlying metabolic rates in autotrophs is crucial for predicting the effects of climatic temperature fluctuations on the carbon balance of ecosystems. We present a mathematical model that links thermal performance curves (TPCs) of photosynthesis, respiration, and carbon allocation efficiency to the exponential growth rate of a population of photosynthetic autotroph cells. Using experiments with the green alga, Chlorella vulgaris, we apply the model to show that the temperature dependence of carbon allocation efficiency is key to understanding responses of growth rates to warming at both ecological and longer-term evolutionary timescales. Finally, we assemble a dataset of multiple terrestrial and aquatic autotroph species to show that the effects of temperature-dependent carbon allocation efficiency on potential growth rate TPCs are expected to be consistent across taxa. In particular, both the thermal sensitivity and the optimal temperature of growth rates are expected to change significantly due to temperature dependence of carbon allocation efficiency alone. Our study provides a foundation for understanding how the temperature dependence of carbon allocation determines how population growth rates respond to temperature.
