Two-dimensional dopant layers (δ-layers) in semiconductors provide the high-mobility electron liquids (2DELs) needed for nanoscale quantum-electronic devices. Key parameters such as carrier densities, effective masses, and confinement thicknesses for 2DELs ...
Super junctions (SJs) have enabled unprecedented performance in Silicon power devices, which could be further improved by applying this concept to wide bandgap semiconductors like gallium nitride (GaN). Currently, polarization super junctions (PSJs) are th ...
The subject of the present work is discovery and in-depth characterization of a new class of functional materials. Tuning of the bond polarity and orbital occupation with a goal of establishing balance between localization and delocalization of electrons - ...
By combining experiments and first-principles calculations, Y-doped Sb7Se3 thin films were successfully fabricated and investigated. Our results suggest that Y is one promising dopant for simultaneously enhancing thermal stability, increasing phase change ...
We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation that reveals a new mechanism responsible for the enhancement of electron-phonon coupling in doped semiconductors in which multiple inequivalent valleys are simultaneously populated. Using Rama ...
We show that constant-Fermi-level ab initio molecular dynamics can be used as a computer-based tool to reveal and control relevant defects in semiconductor materials. In this scheme, the Fermi level can be set at any position within the band gap during the ...
We conduct a detailed investigation of defects in two representative amorphous oxides: amorphous Al2O3 (am-Al2O3) and TiO2 (am-TiO2), by combining ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and hybrid functional calculations. Our results indicate that o ...
The growing research on two-dimensional materials reveals their exceptional physical properties and enormous potential for future applications and investigation of advanced physics phenomena. They represent the ultimate limit in terms of active channel thi ...
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are under intensive investigation recently due to variety of electronic properties, ranging from insulators (h-BN) to semi-metals (graphene), semiconductors (MoS2, WSe2) with wide variability of band-gap and correlated phases ...
In and Ga impurities substitutional to Al in the oxide layer resulting from diffusion out of the substrate are identified as candidates for electron traps under inversion at In0.53Ga0.47As/Al2O3 interfaces. Through density-functional calculations, these de ...
