Figure 3

Simulated I–\(V_{D}\) at external temperature of \(T_{0} = 293\) K (solid dark cyan line) and \(T_{0} = 313\) K (pink dotted line). The IMT/MIT points for \(T_{0}\) ranging from 293 K (the rightmost ones) to 313 K (the leftmost ones) are shown as black (IMT) and yellow (MIT) starred lines, respectively. The black line is the load line valid for the temperature interval [293–307] K. The inset shows the MIT points for \(T_{0} = 307\) K (on the right) and \(T_{0} = 308\) K (on the left). It is evident that the MIT point for \(T_{0} = 307\) K is above the load-line, while the MIT point for \(T_{0} = 308\) K is below it.
