The efficiency of quantum computers, sensors and other applications often relies on the properties of electrons, including ...

Solar cells and computer chips need silicon layers that are as perfect as possible. Every imperfection in the crystalline structure increases the risk of reduced efficiency or defective switching ...

III-V semiconductor lasers can be monolithically integrated with photonic chips by directly growing a crystalline layer of ...

Lasers that are fabricated directly onto silicon photonic chips offer several advantages over external laser sources, such as ...

Quantum dot (QD) layouts are becoming more complex as the technology is being applied to more sophisticated multi-QD structures. This increase in complexity requires improved capacitance modeling both ...

A method of assigning formal charges from counting “attachments” for visual inspection is introduced as part of the iterative portion of constructing Lewis electron dot structures. An “attachment” is ...

One of the most promising, emerging solar cell technologies has received a major efficiency boost. Engineers at UNIST in South Korea have created quantum dot solar cells with a world record ...

This result represents the industry's largest silicon electron spin device with a single electron in each location across an entire 300 millimeter silicon wafer, according to Intel.

Such observation leads to discovery of a principal component in the electron inner structure— the charged c-ring. The intrinsic (fundamental) electron model based on the charged c-ring successfully ...

Researchers have presented a new approach to testing silicon quantum dot arrays in a step toward commercializing quantum computing.
