With higher efficiency and lower costs, perovskite–silicon tandem cells mark a breakthrough in solar tech. Can they truly ...

Silicon photonics is an emerging paradigm for designing energy -efficient and high-performance communication backbone for manycore chips. This article presents a survey about designing photonic ...

Figure 1. (a) Energy band diagrams of the Schottky junction with the contact of Au and p-Si (left) or n-Si (right). (b) Hot-hole (left) and hot-electron (right) initial energy distribution upon ...

We propose a new computational scheme for calculating the phonon band diagrams of molecular crystals. In conventional computational models, the vibrational unit is typically an atom, which leads to ...

We report first-principle electronic-structure calculations that clarify roles of cross-sectional morphology in electronic structures of Si nanowires (SiNWs) with the dimension ranging from 3 nm to 6 ...

New forthcoming live album Swings a 21st Century Thing channels South Yorkshire spirit in its bold first single: a full-tilt big band version of Pulp’s “Disco 2000” – out June 10th ...
