Solar cells are made from semiconductors whose ability to respond to light is determined by their band gaps (energy gaps). Different colors have different energies, and no single semiconductor has a ...

The field of semiconductor materials continues to expand as researchers develop and refine materials with increasingly tailored electronic and optical properties. Semiconductors are characterised by ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough in overcoming one of the most persistent challenges ...

In semiconductor physics, the flat band potential is a critical parameter that influences the properties and behavior of semiconductors in contact with other materials, such as electrolytes or p-n ...

Abstract The demand for low contact resistance in two-dimensional (2D) nanoelectronics has positioned semimetals as ideal contact materials, owing to ...

Semiconductor materials play an important part in developing nanophotonic technologies. Semiconductors are used for generating controllable photons as well as for confining and exploiting them for ...

A semiconductor is a material with electrical conductivity between that of a conductor (like copper) and an insulator (like glass). Unlike conductors, which allow electricity to flow freely, and ...

The word semiconductor is comprised of two words, semi (not complete) and conductor (something that can conduct electricity). Electricity is present everywhere, like in home appliances where current ...

Scientists have published an extensive review of spin-gapless semiconductors (SGSs), a new class of 'zero bandgap' materials which have fully spin polarised electrons and holes, and first proposed in ...

Your beloved pooch has a tendency to run off. It’s time to pay a visit to the vet to get her microchipped. On the morning of your appointment, the alarm on your smartphone wakes you up. The house is ...

Scientists demonstrate double charge carrier type switching of tin SnSe semiconductor by doping of antimony Sb. The SnSe carrier type switches from p-type to n-type, and re-switches to p-type as ...
