Scientists have developed a new method to make sure the mechanisms to connect between the two-dimensional layer of atoms and semiconductors are as perfect as possible -- an advance that promises to ...

A Dutch-Chinese research team has developed a bifacial heterojunction PV cell with a 67% reduction in transparent conductive oxide (TCO) use. The TCOs used for the cell are based on indium(III) oxide ...

A Dutch research team has used highly transparent, hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon oxide layers to improve the optoelectrical performance of contact stacks in a silicon heterojunction device. The ...

Heterojunctions are interfaces formed between two dissimilar semiconductor materials with different band gaps, electron affinities, or work functions. These nanoscale junctions play a crucial role in ...

A new type of solar cell based on heterojunctions between different crystalline phases of the same light-absorbing material boasts a maximum power conversion of 20.1% and is stable for long periods of ...

New generation semiconductor-based vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) detectors that replace traditional heavy and energy-hungry microchannel detection systems could be used to better study how stars form and ...

Polarization, along with intensity, wavelength, and phase, is a fundamental property of light. It enhances contrast and resolution in imaging compared to traditional intensity-based methods. On-chip ...

(Nanowerk News) By adding one more layer of atoms to already infinitesimal semiconductors, a next-level generation of electrical devices becomes possible. This work to build better and faster ...

The researchers published their results on April 15 in Applied Physics Letters. They applied a layer of graphene to gallium nitride, a commonly used semiconductor. The graphene is made of a single ...
