Size effects on the band-gap of semiconductor compounds
Based on a thermodynamic model for size-dependent melting temperature, the size-dependent band-gap of low dimensional semiconductor compounds is modeled without any adjustable parameter. The model predicts an increase of the band-gap of nanoparticles and nanowires for IIBVIB and IIIB-VB semiconductor compounds, with decreasing their size, which is supported by available experimental and other t...
متن کاملWide Band Gap Semiconductor Devices for Power Electronics
It is worldwide accepted today that a real breakthrough in the Power Electronics field may mainly come from the development and use of Wide Band Gap (WBG) semiconductor devices. WBG semiconductors such as SiC, GaN, and diamond show superior material properties, which allow operation at high-switching speed, high-voltage and high-temperature. These unique performances provide a qualitative chang...
متن کاملSemiconductor nanocrystals: structure, properties, and band gap engineering.
Semiconductor nanocrystals are tiny light-emitting particles on the nanometer scale. Researchers have studied these particles intensely and have developed them for broad applications in solar energy conversion, optoelectronic devices, molecular and cellular imaging, and ultrasensitive detection. A major feature of semiconductor nanocrystals is the quantum confinement effect, which leads to spat...
متن کاملSemiconductor waveguide inversion in disordered narrow band-gap materials
It has been previously demonstrated that it is possible to form the NOT gate in a coupled semiconductor waveguide structure in III–V materials. However, to this point, investigations have assumed the materials to be perfect. In this article, we present results of a semiconductor waveguide inverter in GaAs and InAs with disordered material effects included in the simulation. The behavior of the ...
متن کاملPhotonic Band Gap Materials: A Semiconductor for Light
Light in certain engineered dielectric microstructures can flow in a way similar to electrical currents in semiconductor chips. These microstructures represent a new frontier in the field of optics. They provide a foundation for the development of novel micro-photonic devices and the integration of such devices into an optical microchip. Glossary: Photonics: the science of moulding the flow of ...
