Twisted oxide crystals show how atomic patterns alone can trap or repel electrons

It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself ...

A strange in-between state of matter is finally observed

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

Electrons dynamics control by shaping femtosecond laser pulses in micro/nanofabrication: modeling, method, measurement and application

During femtosecond laser fabrication, photons are mainly absorbed by electrons, and the subsequent energy transfer from electrons to ions is of picosecond order. Hence, lattice motion is negligible ...

Hydrogen's role in generating free electrons in silicon finally explained

Researchers announced that they have achieved the world's first elucidation of how hydrogen produces free electrons through ...

Excitons Let Scientists Reshape Quantum Materials With Less Light

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Simultaneous conduction band and valence band electron field emissions from n-type and p-type silicon field emitter arrays

Abstract: We report field emission of electrons from both n-type and p-type silicon field emitter arrays. A two-band field emission model is proposed to explain the observed current voltage ...
