The team has just determined that its approach – involving plasma nitridation of the SiC surface, sputter deposition of SiO 2, and post-deposition annealing – reduces the interface state density near ...

A semiconductor is a material or device that ... electrons that are not tightly attached to just one nucleus are called the conduction band. By absorbing energy in the form of a phonon (heat ...

To improve the durability of tin perovskite, a method called Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) has been proposed that introduces large ...

We show that reactions of charges in the semiconductor NC film with redox species in solution are reversible when the reduction potential is in the conduction band of the semiconductor NC material but ...

The charge carriers in the group III‐Nitride semiconductors are the electrons in the conduction band and the light holes, heavy holes, and spin‐orbit split‐off holes in the conduction band.

Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors—such as diamond—are promising for next-generation electronics due to a larger energy gap between the valence and conduction bands, allowing them to handle higher ...

Researchers have built a deep-ultraviolet microscope to study hard-to-analyze materials like diamond, offering a new way to probe their electronic and thermal properties at the nanoscale. This ...

The sensitizer plays an essential role in light absorption and electron injection into the conduction band of a semiconductor. Since Pt-based CEs exhibit the best electrochemical efficiency, they are ...
