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

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

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 ...

A new class of semiconducting materials are proposed that exhibit full spin polarization and tunable carrier densities, and could be useful for the next generation of spintronic devices. The physical ...

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 ...

Solar power is one of the leading technologies to produce clean, renewable energy, but photovoltaic solar cells remain uneconomical in many areas. The key to improving photovoltaic economics is more ...

Nanocrystalline quantum dots sparkle with promise for uses ranging from medicine to national security, but one of their most important electronic properties has long been misunderstood. Scientists at ...

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 ...

A team of researchers involving scientists from the Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have demonstrated how the conductivity of gallium oxide in its most stable form (β-Ga2O3) can be ...

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 ...
