Researchers from the University of California Santa Barbara have visualized photoexcited charges traveling across the interface of two different semiconductor materials within a solar cell. In a solar ...

Semiconductors are used in devices such as memory chips and solar cells, and within them may exist invisible defects that ...

Korean researchers detect hidden semiconductor defects 1,000× more sensitively, boosting efficiency, lifespan, and design ...

Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have created a molecule that naturally forms p/n junctions, structures that are ...

Silicon heterojunction solar cells combine crystalline silicon substrates with thin amorphous silicon layers in order to harness the complementary benefits of both materials. The crystalline substrate ...

ZnSc 2 S 4 exhibits a direct bandgap and can emit light from orange to blue. Its composition can be chemically tuned to switch between n-type and p-type conduction over nine orders of magnitude, ...

Researchers at the Delft University of Technology have fabricated an interdigitated back contact and heterojunction solar cell that uses a thin full-area molybdenum oxide layer as a blanket layer. The ...
