Our approach entails the drawing of extended fibre lengths fabricated by arranging a low-melting-temperature crystalline conductor (Sn), amorphous semiconductors (As–Se–Te–Sn and As 2 Se 3 ...

The photoanode functions as a solid-state, metal–insulator–semiconductor photovoltaic cell with spatially non-uniform barrier heights in series with a low overpotential water-splitting ...

Insulators can be pushed across the divide from insulator to metal by tuning their surrounding ... a metallic conductor to a somewhat resistant semiconductor under around 790,000 times normal ...

Squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator Figure 1: A photograph of the ...

At the metal-semiconductor interface, energy losses are inevitable, an effect known as the Schottky barrier. Blue phosphorus is semiconducting as a single layer, but predicted to be metallic as a ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) including the equilibrium characteristics, ...

The team has calculated that deforming diamond nano-needles would change their conductivity from an insulator to a semiconductor to a highly conductive metal – and back again at will.
