For decades, ferromagnetic materials have driven technologies like magnetic hard drives, magnetic random access memories and ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

Quantum Computing: Stable electron configurations can improve processing capabilities. Superconductivity: Understanding electron movement could lead to resistance-free materials.

We investigate the effect of asymmetric configurations on the heterogate germanium electron-hole bilayer tunnel FET (TFET) and assess the improvement that they provide in terms of boosting the ...

Researchers in Malaysia have simulated a mixed cation perovskite solar cell integrating tin and germanium in the absorber. By modulating the perovksite layer thickness, they were able to achieve ...

After placing a tiny dolomite crystal in a solution of calcium and magnesium, the team gently pulsed the electron beam 4,000 times over two hours, dissolving away the defects.

In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or other physical structure (e.g., a crystal). Like other elementary ...

China produces around 60% of the world's germanium, or 180 metric tons in 2022, and over 90% of the world's gallium, about 606 tons last year, according to research firm Antaike.

The design of vertical and lateral PIN Ge-on-Si photodetectors was motivated by the disparity in electron and hole mobilities. In the case of vertical PIN junction detectors, configuring the slab ...

Electrons and other charge carriers can move faster in germanium tin than in silicon or germanium, enabling lower operation voltages and smaller footprints in vertical than in planar devices, say ...
