Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the Eindhoven University of Technology have developed an organic ...

A silicon atom has four electrons in its outer shell and bonds tightly with four surrounding silicon atoms creating a crystal matrix with eight electrons in the outer shells. However, phosphorus ...

One promising application for chiral semiconductors is in display technology. Current displays often waste a significant ...

So manufacturers beef up or "dope" the cell's two silicon layers with trace amounts of additives, typically phosphorus and boron. The top, phosphorus-doped layer contains more electrons ...

Researchers have advanced a decades-old challenge in the field of organic semiconductors, opening new possibilities for the future of electronics. The researchers have created an organic semiconductor ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

They synthesized a series of silicon nanostructures using an etching technique optimized at HZB and determined the temperature-dependent electrical conductivity and thermopower. Electrons in ...
