Researchers at Lund University, Sweden, have grown single continuous GaAs nanowires consisting of segments of pure wurtzite and zincblende phases. Using photoluminescence spectroscopy, they found that ...

Wurtzite-structured crystals, characterized by their hexagonal symmetry, are widely valued for their unique electronic and piezoelectric properties—their ability to generate an electric charge when ...

A team of researchers is exploring novel materials that have potential to make microelectronics more energy efficient. Their recent work explores recently discovered wurtzite ferroelectrics, which are ...

In polycrystalline semiconductors, grain boundaries are often sites with prevalence for electron-hole recombination and various strategies have been followed to minimize grain boundary areas.

(Nanowerk News) Diamond lost its title of the "world's hardest material" by 58% to a rare natural substance, according to a new research by Chinese scientists. Pan Zicheng at Shanghai Jiao Tong ...

When we communicate with others over wireless networks, information is sent to data centers where it is collected, stored, processed, and distributed. As computational energy usage continues to grow, ...
