On Oct. 3, 1950, three Bell Labs scientists received a patent for a "three-electrode circuit element" that would usher in the ...

In a discovery that bridges a century of physics, scientists have observed a phenomenon, once thought to be the domain of ...

In conventional molecular semiconductor solar cells, the conversion of an absorbed photon into electrons and holes ...

Hydrodynamic models in semiconductor physics provide a macroscopic framework for describing carrier transport by utilising fluid dynamics analogues. These models, which typically incorporate the Euler ...

Excitons, bound states between an electron (i.e., a negatively charged particle) and a hole (i.e., the absence of an electron ...

MIT researchers with colleagues from the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague have used 2D CrSBr, a van der Waals ...

Most crystalline materials conduct heat by transferring vibrational energy as acoustic waves between atoms in an ordered lattice. External pressure forces the atoms in a crystal lattice closer ...

In this online engineering specialization, you will master the fundamentals of semiconductors and evaluate the performance of electronic devices by completing courses in semiconductor physics, PN ...
