Artistic rendering of atomic structure of silicon carbide crystal showing defect (purple circle) and region of interest identified with quantum mechanical theory (silver sphere). Disclaimer ...

Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter of 0.543 nm. The nearest neighbor distance is 0.235 nm. The diamond cubic crystal structure has an fcc lattice with a basis of ...

GREIG 1 discovered that many metal oxide–silica systems exhibited liquid immiscibility at high temperatures. He found that the less siliceous liquid (as well as a range of adjacent compositions ...

Pure silicon is not conductive. However, it can be made conductive by adding other elements to its crystalline structure, which then become known as "n-type" or "p-type" silicon. N-type silicon is ...
