This book is the fourth volume in the New Era Electronics lecture notes series, a compilation of volumes defining the important concepts tied to the electronics transition happening in the 21st ...

In most conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature rises because heat-carrying lattice vibrations—called phonons—scatter more frequently.

The semiconductor industry faces mounting challenges as the development of next-generation chips pushes against fundamental physical limits. In response, Cadenc ...

Reflections from inside an industry undergoing its biggest transformation in decades.

Seebeck coefficient against electric conductivity measurements of RR and RRa-P3HT doped with iodine and measured while dedoping. We took Rd= 0.21 nm to match the radius of iodide anion ( R I = 0.206 ...

Are your environmental test results exposing true device weaknesses, or just reflecting extreme stress conditions?

As phones and computers shrink in size, our need for data storage and transfer is growing. Electronic devices have been powered by semiconductors for decades, but as the push to miniaturize continues, ...

Scientists have decoded how heat flows in magnetic semiconductors, materials that are critical to emerging technologies such as spintronics, magnetic memory, and quantum devices. The discovery ...

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NTT Research, Inc., a division of NTT (TYO:9432), today announced that scientists from its Physics & Informatics (PHI) Lab have achieved quantum control of exciton ...

A joint research team has successfully induced polarization and polarity in metallic substances. In the realm of material science, the phenomena of polarization and polarity have conventionally been ...

How it works Schematic showing how a five-electron droplet (shown in blue) is transported inside the selected potential minimum of a SAW. Electrostatic gates (yellow) are used to guide the electron ...

A semiconductor is a material or device that only conducts electricity under certain conditions. Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium, are intrinsic ...
