The electronic configuration of the silicon atom is: (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 2, and the atomic radius is 0.132 nm. Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter of 0.543 nm. The ...

Researchers have developed advanced terahertz photodetectors containing 'living' microelectrodes. A vanadium dioxide (VO2) layer was precisely deposited on a silicon substrate. Temperature regulation ...

While discussing silica, it would be remiss to neglect the large-scale formation of silica structures with ... novel optical and electronic applications of black silicon can be expected in the ...

However, it took 50 years for silicon technology to reach maturity ... and this leads to the formation of 'valleys' in the electronic structure (Fig. 1b). At these so-called Dirac points, the ...

However, it can be made conductive by adding other elements to its crystalline structure ... readily accepts an electron. Because the charge carriers are holes, p-type silicon is said to have ...
