This video explains how semiconductors work and how their electrical properties are controlled using band gaps and doping.

Techniques for Band Gap Engineering vary, including doping, the introduction of impurities into a semiconductor to alter its electrical properties; strain engineering, where stress is applied to ...

New government regulations and industry standards are leading companies to adopt wide bandgap (WBG) power solutions, both to reduce their carbon footprint and to meet increasing demand for higher ...

Researchers have demonstrated that by using a semiconductor with flexible bonds, the material can be molded into various structures using nano containers, without altering its composition. The ...

U.S. researchers have conducted detailed balance calculations to show the ultimate potential of underwater solar cells. According to their findings, the devices could theoretically produce useful ...

Scientists have discovered a potentially promising infrared LED and infrared detector component. This compound -- composed of calcium, silicon and oxygen -- is cheap to produce and non-toxic. Many of ...

Solar cells based on wide-band-gap semiconductors work better under water than the narrow-band-gap ones used in conventional silicon photovoltaic devices. This finding by researchers at New York ...

Manijeh Razeghi, Walter P. Murphy Professor has been named Conference Chair of the Workshop on Defects in Wide Band Gap Semiconductors (WBG), which will be held on Monday, September 23, 2014 at the ...
