Sep 13, 2022: Researchers discover a new type of surface lattice resonance (Nanowerk News) High-index dielectric nanostructures supporting electric and magnetic resonances have emerged as new building ...

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 ...

German scientists have investigated the role of surface texturing in perovskite-silicon tandem cells and have found that several new processes offer the ability to etch smaller, more uniform ...

The technique tightly confines near-infrared light within a nanodisk periodic structure.By breaking the symmetry of the periodic square lattice of silicon nanodisks, the team has demonstrated ...

Frame (a) shows a schematic of the Nanonet, a lattice structure of Titanium disilicide (TiSi2), coated with silicon (Si) particles to form the active component for Lithium-ion storage. (b) A ...

Strain affects the band structure of semiconductor materials, allowing the alteration of properties dictated by nature. Over the last 15 years, advances in epitaxy and, in particular, the epitaxy of ...

“We found that the surface reconstruction strategy can improve the contact of the perovskite/C 60 interface, release the residual lattice strain of the bulk perovskite film, and form a bromine ...

Moreover, silicon wafers are available in larger quantities, at lower cost, with better quality than any of the plausible alternative materials. Still, the need for compatibility with silicon wafers ...
