From the Shockley ideal diode equation given above, it might appear that the voltage has a positive temperature coefficient ( at a constant current ), but usually the variation of the reverse saturation current term is more significant than the variation in the thermal voltage term.

Also, as the base – emitter voltage ( V < sub > be </ sub >) is increased the base – emitter current and hence the collector – emitter current ( I < sub > ce </ sub >) increase exponentially according to the Shockley diode model and the Ebers-Moll model.

There is no record of Shockley ever using the term " traitorous eight ," and his wife denied that he ever used it.

He is widely credited ( together with William Shockley ) with being the father of Silicon Valley.

The four-layer diode is now called the Shockley diode.

In the 1960s through 1980s, Nobel Prize winning physicist William Shockley argued that AFDC and other similar programs tended to encourage childbirth, especially among less productive members of society ( particularly blacks, whom he considered to be genetically inferior to whites ), causing a reverse evolution ( dysgenic effect ), founded on the premises that: there is a correlation between financial success and intelligence ; and that intelligence is hereditary.

Ben Shockley, an alcoholic cop from Phoenix, is well on his way to becoming a down-and-out when he is given the task to escort witness Gus Mally from Las Vegas.

While stepping out of the bus to discuss the terms, Josephson is shot dead by shooters from a nearby building and Shockley is hit in the leg.

The two surrender and Shockley is shot and wounded by Blakelock who in return is shot dead by Mally.

UGA's new incoming head coach in 2001, Mark Richt, made Shockley a priority recruit, and he is generally regarded as Richt's first official recruit at Georgia.

Walter Houser Brattain ( February 10, 1902 – October 13, 1987 ) was an American physicist at Bell Labs who, along with John Bardeen and William Shockley, invented the transistor.

* February 13 – William Shockley, American physicist, Nobel laureate ( d. 1989 )

* August 12 – William Shockley, American physicist, Nobel Prize laureate ( b. 1910 )

Walter Houser Brattain ( February 10, 1902 – October 13, 1987 ) was an American physicist at Bell Labs who, along with John Bardeen and William Shockley, invented the transistor.

William Shockley ( February 13, 1910 – August 12, 1989 ) was an American physicist and inventor.

Shockley — Atlanta Falcons football quarterback

Shockley played high school football at North Clayton High School.

Georgia head coach Mark Richt had inserted freshman quarterback DJ Shockley to run the offense for a series or two each game during the season.

* September 3, 2005: Starting his first game for the Bulldogs, DJ Shockley set the school record for total touchdowns in a game by a quarterback with 6 ( 5 passing, 1 running ) in a blowout of Boise State, a team many pundits, including Stewart Mandel of SI. com, picked the Broncos from Boise to win.

Led by senior quarterback D. J. Shockley and a veteran defense, Georgia got off to a fast 7 – 0 start, including a 27 – 14 win over Tennessee that gave the Bulldog's control of the division.

Shockley became the starting quarterback by his sophomore season at North Clayton High.

Richt ultimately chose redshirt freshman David Greene to be the starting quarterback for the Bulldogs in 2001, while Shockley was redshirted.

Greene went on to set the NCAA record for wins as a starting quarterback in a career, but over the course of those four years, Shockley did see some playing time in a modified dual-quarterback system.

The invention of the transistor in 1947 by William B. Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain opened the door for more compact devices and led to the development of the integrated circuit in 1958 by Jack Kilby and independently in 1959 by Robert Noyce.

In 1956, John Bardeen shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with William Shockley of Semiconductor Laboratory of Beckman Instruments and Walter Brattain of Bell Telephone Laboratories " for their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect ".

Bardeen, Brattain and Shockley received their awards that night from King Gustaf VI Adolf and then adjourned for a great banquet in their honor.

* 1948 – William Shockley files the original patent for the grown junction transistor, the first bipolar junction transistor.

File: Bardeen. jpg | John Bardeen ( 1908 – 1991 ): awarded Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956 with William Shockley and Walter Brattain for the invention of the transistor and again in 1972 with Leon Cooper and John Robert Schrieffer for a fundamental theory of conventional superconductivity known as the BCS theory.

He left in 1956 for the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in Mountain View, California.

According to Lillian Hoddeson and Vicki Daitch, authors of a biography of John Bardeen, Shockley had proposed that Bell Labs ' first patent for a transistor should be based on the field-effect and that he be named as the inventor.

In acknowledgement of this accomplishment, Shockley, Bardeen, and Brattain were jointly awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics " for their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect.

* June 26 – William Shockley files the original patent for the grown junction transistor, the first bipolar junction transistor.

* PBS claims that William Shockley, co-inventor of the transistor and winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics, had attempted suicide by playing a solo game of Russian roulette.

John Bardeen, Walter Houser Brattain, and William Bradford Shockley were awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize in physics for their work.

As black historian Megan Shockley noted, " Their work for the desegregation of USOs had begun during World War II, and it finally paid off.

In that year John Bardeen, William Shockley, and Walter Brattain of Bell Laboratories drew upon highly sophisticated principles of quantum physics to invent the transistor, a small substitute for the bulky vacuum tube.

The scientific team at Bell Laboratories responsible for the solid-state amplifier included William Shockley, Walter Houser Brattain, and John Bardeen.

Upon entering the contest in the second quarter, Shockley was intercepted by Florida safety Guss Scott, who ran it back for a touchdown, giving his team a 12 – 7 lead after a failed two-point conversion attempt.

* 1936: ferromagnetism, ( with Erik Rudberg, later Chairman of the Nobel Prize committee for Physics ) inelastic scattering, and ( with his Ph. D. student William Shockley and close to his own Ph. D. topic ), optical properties of alkali halides

" Slater's doctoral students, during this time, included Nathan Rosen Ph. D. in 1932 for a theoretical study of the hydrogen molecule, and William Shockley Ph. D. 1936 for an energy band structure of sodium chloride, who later received a Nobel Prize for the discovery of the transistor.

Samuel Richard Shockley and Miran Edgar Thompson had been incarcerated at Alcatraz Island federal penitentiary and were executed on December 3, 1948, for the murder of two prison guards during the Battle of Alcatraz.

Porteus was an early contributor to Mankind Quarterly, helped William Shockley organize the Foundation for Education on Eugenics and Dysgenics, and served on the executive committee of the International Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics.

Robert Noyce independently came up with the idea of a tunnel diode while working for William Shockley, but was discouraged from pursuing it.
