That's the kind of technology that researchers at Kyoto University have developed for the band gap of semiconductor materials. The work is published in the journal Computational Materials Science.

Semiconductors are at the heart of most electronics. We explain what semiconductors are, how they work, and just how tiny those transistors can get.

Techniques for Band Gap Engineering vary, including doping, the introduction of impurities into a semiconductor to alter its electrical properties; strain engineering, where stress is applied to ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors are just such a technology, and have already begun to revolutionise the industry. A graph showing the relationship between band gap and temperature for various ...

Consumer electronic devices are made from materials that we have been using for more than 60 years, mainly silicon, germanium ...
