Crystalline siliconCrystalline silicon or (c-Si) Is the crystalline forms of silicon, either polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si, consisting of small crystals), or monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si, a continuous crystal). Crystalline silicon is the dominant semiconducting material used in photovoltaic technology for the production of solar cells. These cells are assembled into solar panels as part of a photovoltaic system to generate solar power from sunlight. In electronics, crystalline silicon is typically the monocrystalline form of silicon, and is used for producing microchips.
Surface areaThe surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with flat polygonal faces), for which the surface area is the sum of the areas of its faces. Smooth surfaces, such as a sphere, are assigned surface area using their representation as parametric surfaces.
Arséniure d'aluminiumL’arséniure d'aluminium (AlAs) est un composé chimique d'aluminium et d'arsenic. C'est un matériau semi-conducteur avec presque la même constante de réseau que GaAs et AlGaAs et une bande interdite plus large que GaAs. Il possède les propriétés suivantes : Coefficient de dilatation thermique : 5 μm/(°C*m) Température Debye : 417 K Microdureté : (charge de ) Nombre d'atomes dans : (4.42-0.17x)·1022 Module d'élasticité isostatique : 7.55+0.
EndmemberAn endmember (also end-member or end member) in mineralogy is a mineral that is at the extreme end of a mineral series in terms of purity of its chemical composition. Minerals often can be described as solid solutions with varying compositions of some chemical elements, rather than as substances with an exact chemical formula. There may be two or more endmembers in a group or series of minerals. For example, forsterite (Mg2SiO4) and fayalite (Fe2SiO4) are the two end-members of the olivine solid-solution series, varying in Mg2+ and Fe2+ in their chemical composition.
Arsenic trisulfideArsenic trisulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula . It is a dark yellow solid that is insoluble in water. It also occurs as the mineral orpiment (Latin: auripigmentum), which has been used as a pigment called King's yellow. It is produced in the analysis of arsenic compounds. It is a group V/VI, intrinsic p-type semiconductor and exhibits photo-induced phase-change properties. occurs both in crystalline and amorphous forms. Both forms feature polymeric structures consisting of trigonal pyramidal As(III) centres linked by sulfide centres.
Écologie chimiqueDans le domaine de l'écologie, de l'éthologie et plus généralement des sciences du vivant, la notion d'écologie chimique désigne les disciplines de l'écologie qui étudient les rôles de signal et de médiateur chimique de certains composés biochimiques émis dans l'air ou dans l'eau ou déposés sur certains substrats par des espèces ou des individus (en permanence ou en certaines circonstances) parmi les interactions entre espèces vivantes, animales (ou végétales et fongique en tant que sources d'odeurs).
