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 ...

A major breakthrough in organic semiconductors has been achieved, potentially transforming display technology and even future ...

Today's computers are based on shuttling electrons around in silicon. Electrons in silicon could also form the basis of a completely different breed of computers—quantum computers. Numerous ...

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 ...

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 ...

limited amount of electrons running around, high heat could stop a transistor from working altogether. While still working at Bell Labs in 1950, Teal began growing silicon crystals to see if they ...

Researchers have pioneered a new technology that could improve the efficiency and brightness of OLED displays used in ...

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 ...

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