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 ...

In semiconductor devices, the mobility or the coherence of the wave function is a key factor in determining the device performance, and obtaining a well-ordered band structure is quite important ...

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 ...

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

The properties of organic semiconductor materials can be tuned by controlling their structure at the molecular level through parts of the structure known as electron-accepting units.

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 ...

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 ...
