The origin of ferromagnetism in the prototype ferromagnetic semiconductor GaMnAs is controversial because of an insufficient understanding of its band structure and Fermi level position. This is a ...

As the diameter of the nanowire increased, they found the transition energy (the measured energy gap between the conduction and valence bands) decreased. The researchers explained the result as being ...

Valence band structure of PbTe1 − xSex. Researchers have long tried to enhance the thermoelectric effect (turning heat into electricity) to make the devices practical. In doing so, the goal is ...

Chemists have made the first observation of the electronic structure in silver-rhodium ... The valence band structure of AgxRh1–x alloy nanoparticles. Applied Physics Letters, 2014; 105 ...

Because of the nitrogen doping, the valence band structure and defect levels of the Cu/TiO 2 transits to band structures containing N 2p, originating oxidative catalytic sites distinct from Cu/TiO 2.

A quantum dot contains a small finite number (of the order of 1-100) of conduction band electrons, valence band holes, or excitons, i.e., a finite number of elementary electric charges.
