Large spin-splitting in the conduction band and valence band of ferromagnetic semiconductors, predicted by the influential mean-field Zener model and assumed in many spintronic device proposals ...

Researchers have demonstrated that by using a semiconductor with flexible bonds, the material can be molded into various ...

Rather, as a recent report by MIT’s Pin-Chun Shen and colleagues explained, the work function of the metal perturbs the semiconductor band structure. These metal-induced gap states (MIGS) cause Fermi ...

Interestingly such a diamond structure acts as a semiconductor for light, a building block for a future optical computer that switches light instead of electric current. Figure 1: electron microscope ...

This information reveals the structure of the electronic bands in terms of the energy and momentum of the electrons within them. Surface science. ARPES has been used extensively by physicists to study ...
