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 ...

That's the kind of technology that researchers at Kyoto University have developed for the band gap of semiconductor materials. The work is published in the journal Computational Materials Science.

That's the kind of technology that researchers at Kyoto University have developed for the band gap of semiconductor materials. New such materials are constantly sought after in the development of ...

Topological materials are revolutionizing semiconductor manufacturing, offering enhanced conductivity and efficiency for next-generation electronic devices.

However, this would only be possible by using wide-band-gap semiconductors, which have not been considered for solar cells used for land-based applications because their band gaps are too large.
