They are very strong materials compared to silicon and require three times the energy to allow an electron to start to move freely in the material. This larger energy gap (or wider band gap) gives ...

Nitride semiconductors have emerged as pivotal materials in solar energy conversion due to their versatile electronic properties and the opportunity they offer to exploit earth‐abundant elements.

A material’s band gap describes the energy difference between that material’s valence and conduction bands. An insulator will have a large band gap, making it impossible for electrons to circulate by ...

Poly(3-hex- ylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT), for example, has a band gap of around 2.1 eV, can easily be produced in large quantities, and could be perfect for operation in shallow waters. Materials such ...

Researchers have unveiled the world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene. The team says that their discovery could lead to the development of smaller and faster electronic devices.
