One of the key characteristics of semiconductors is their band gap, which determines how they conduct electric current. The band gap is typically engineered for specific applications by breaking ...

The band gap is a crucial property of semiconductors that significantly impacts their use in various devices, including solar cells, transistors, and photocatalysts.

Energy band diagram is one of the important results produced by a device simulator. In order to provide more flexibility and emphasis over this domain, an algorithm is presented which can be used to ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), with collaborators at University College London, have developed machine learning-based methods to predict material properties even with limited ...

The purpose of this paper is to present the principles involved in calculating the energy band structures of semiconductors. These calculations can be simplified by the use of group theory, which is a ...

Wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors offer important advantages in terms of reliability, energy efficiency, power density, and cost reduction.

In this tutorial, we will study the main properties of graphene, with reference to the structure of the energy bands.

<p>The first working semiconductor made of graphene outperformed one made of silicon leading to speculation that graphene could be the future of computing. But will graphene replace silicon, despite ...

The issue was that graphene is a gapless semiconductor, lacking a so-called "bandgap," a gap between low-energy and high-energy bands that electrons are induced to cross in the useful semiconductors ...
