This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of pn junction and metal-semiconductor contacts including equilibrium behavior, current and capacitance responses under bias, breakdown, ...

Topological insulators could form the basis for revolutionary electronic components. However, as they generally only function ...

A semiconductor is a material with electrical conductivity between that of a conductor (like copper) and an insulator (like glass). Unlike conductors, which allow electricity to flow freely, and ...

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 ...

The photoelectrochemical splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen requires a semiconductor to absorb light and generate electron–hole pairs, and a catalyst to enhance the kinetics of electron ...
