Researchers have demonstrated that by using a semiconductor with flexible bonds, the material can be molded into various ...

It is desirable to develop high-performance infrared devices using non-toxic, direct transition semiconductors with a band gap in the infrared range. Conventionally, the semiconductive properties ...

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.

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 ...

By contrast, conductors have a band gap that is narrow to nonexistent. Semiconductors are sometimes considered to be insulators with narrow band gaps. For a visual explanation of N-type versus P ...

That's the kind of technology that researchers at Kyoto University have developed for the band gap of semiconductor materials. New such materials are constantly sought after in the development of ...

One of the key characteristics of semiconductors is their band gap, which determines how they conduct electric current. The band gap is typically engineered for specific applications by breaking ...
