b) How are semiconductors different from "regular" metals, and how can this be controlled to allow for modem electronics. What is corrosion? Describe the corrosion of stainless steel. Explain the electrochemical process that leads Explain how the bonding of silicon makes it useful as...
b) How are semiconductors different from "regular" metals, and how can this be controlled to allow for modem electronics. Describe how the properties of the different types of elements (metals, nonmetals, metalloids) differ. How would you test the conductivity of a wooden ...
(You can read more about semiconductors and doping in our articles on transistors and integrated circuits.)When we place a layer of n-type silicon on a layer of p-type silicon, a barrier is created at the junction of the two materials (the all-important border where the two kinds of ...
A new type of flash memory could boost storage limits by using polyoxometalate molecules to replace semiconductors. Are Multiferroics the Ultimate Replacement for Flash Memory?: IEEE Spectrum, 22 September 2014. Multiferroic materials that combine magnetic and ferroelectric properties are being hailed as ...
The formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) upon irradiation of semiconductors and dielectrics by linearly polarized high-intensity Ti:sapphire fs-laser pulses (蟿 ~100 fs, 位 ~800 nm) is studied experimentally and theoretically. In the experiments, t...
This comic deliberatelyconflatesthe origin story of the comic-book superheroSpider-Manwith the origin ofOhm's law, as both the origin story of Spider-Man and Ohm's law deal with power, though the power is of different types. In the origin story of Spider-ManPeter Parker(who would become ...
If you want a really flat TV, you'll probably opt for one that uses OLED (organic LED) technology. As the name suggests, OLEDs work a bit like normal LEDs, but they're made from organic (carbon-based) plastics instead of conventional semiconductors. An OLED display is very thin (just...
