Researchers found boron-doped diamonds exhibit plasmons, enhancing electric field control on the nanoscale. This discovery unlocks new possibilities for biosensors, quantum devices and solar cells.

Unlike metals or even other doped semiconductors, boron-doped diamonds remain optically clear. "Diamond continues to shine," said Giuseppe Strangi, professor of physics at Case Western Reserve ...

[Zachary Tong] is dipping his toes into the DIY semiconductor world, and further to the goal of keeping costs to a hobbyist scale, is experimenting with laser doping of silicon. Doping is the ...

This study (Small Science, "Nucleation-Controlled Doping of II–VI Semiconductor Nanocrystals Mediated by Magic-Sized Clusters") was conducted in collaboration with a research team led by Stefan Ringe ...

Semiconductors can be doped to increase these concentrations: n-doping increases the concentration of electrons, while p-doping increases the concentration of holes. This doping process also affects ...

Ion implantation is a low-temperature method of ‘doping’ semiconductor devices in which high energy charged particles (ions) are accelerated towards a semiconductor, causing the ions to ...

Although previous studies on doping II-VI semiconductor nanocrystals have mainly used CdSe, a heavy metal, Cd is harmful to the environment and has poor stability.
