An international team of researchers from Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), Tohoku University (Japan), and École ...

New findings show germanium-tin alloys could surpass silicon by enabling efficient spintronic, photonic, and quantum device ...

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

Kagome lattice is compoed of a network of corner-sharing triangles and can host Dirac Fermions, the flat bands and the van Hove singularities. When combined with magnetism, plenty of topological ...

The word semiconductor is comprised of two words, semi (not complete) and conductor (something that can conduct electricity). Electricity is present everywhere, like in home appliances where current ...

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 ...

A discussion is presented on the semiconductor interface barrier formation. Schottky barriers and heterojunction band offsets are analysed by means of the intrinsic and extrinsic charge neutrality ...

Inside the microchips powering your devices, the atoms have a hidden order all their own. Scientists have confirmed that ...

Ferroelectric semiconductors represent a unique class of materials that combine the spontaneous and reversible electrical polarisation of ferroelectrics with the charge transport capabilities of ...

A new technique for measuring the electronic band structure of solid materials has been unveiled by physicists in Canada. The new method does not require the sample to be placed in a vacuum chamber ...
