These so-called shallow level defects enable the wide range of semiconductor devices available today. However, crystal lattice defects or other impurities, which introduce electronic states deeper in ...

The ability to store information has evolved from punch-card looms to modern smartphones. Every technological advancement has ...

There remains a need for techniques that can examine MT structural features, assembly dynamics, and lattice defects at submolecular resolution under physiological conditions. The outer surface of ...

Vacancy-type point defects, i.e., defects where one or several atoms are missing from a lattice site, are often present in rather high concentrations in semiconductors and insulators due to their ...

Free surfaces have a structure that may differ from the bulk solid and also a different lattice spacing. · "Real" surfaces contain defects such as the ledges, kinks, vacancies and adsorbed atoms as ...

This recombination, which is primarily triggered by defects in the crystal lattice, “is the essential loss process in every solar cell,” said Kirchartz. According to previous assumptions ...

this simplifies the fabrication process because it is no longer necessary to worry about implantation energies and damage, lattice matching or dopant positioning. Defects, it seems, are here to stay.

These are quasiparticles made of an electron and a polarization field caused by deformation of the crystal lattice. It turned out that the polaronic conductivity depends on the presence of oxygen ...
