New GPU-accelerated modeling reveals the hidden mechanics behind graphene’s AB-BA transitions and the defects that freeze them in place. Study: Phase-Field Crystal Method for Bilayer Graphene. Image ...

A new hybrid layered perovskite featuring elusive spontaneous defect ordering has been found, report scientists. By introducing specific concentrations of thiocyanate ions into FAPbI3 (FA = ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a crystalline material utilized to develop a wide array of electronic devices, including transistors and other high-power, high-frequency, and high-temperature devices. As ...

In a collaboration with Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IPCAS), researchers from Beijing University of Technology (BJUT) discovered a new type of grain-interior planar defect ...

Inspection and metrology are becoming more critical in the silicon carbide (SiC) industry amid a pressing need to find problematic defects in current and future SiC devices. Finding defects always has ...

Already this year, Elham Fadaly has completed a PhD and won an award for her work on semiconductor crystal growth mechanisms, which helped to create a silicon-based light emitter. She talks to Tami ...
