  2. Quantum dot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_dot

    Nanoscale semiconductor materials tightly confine either electrons or electron holes. The confinement is similar to a three-dimensional particle in a box model. The quantum dot absorption and emission features correspond to transitions between discrete quantum mechanically allowed energy levels in the box that are reminiscent of atomic spectra.

  3. Superlattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superlattice

    Semiconductor materials, which are used to fabricate the superlattice structures, may be divided by the element groups, IV, III-V and II-VI. While group III-V semiconductors (especially GaAs/Al x Ga 1−x As) have been extensively studied, group IV heterostructures such as the Si x Ge 1−x system are much more difficult to realize because of ...

  4. Semiconductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor

    A semiconductor is a material that is between the conductor and insulator in ability to conduct electrical current. [1] In many cases their conducting properties may be altered in useful ways by introducing impurities (" doping ") into the crystal structure .

  5. List of semiconductor scale examples - Wikipedia

    Listed are many semiconductor scale examples for various metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, or MOS transistor) semiconductor manufacturing process nodes. Timeline of MOSFET demonstrations

  6. Elliott formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliott_formula

    One of the most accurate theories of semiconductor absorption and photoluminescence is provided by the SBEs and SLEs, respectively. Both of them are systematically derived starting from the many-body/quantum-optical system Hamiltonian and fully describe the resulting quantum dynamics of optical and quantum-optical observables such as optical polarization (SBEs) and photoluminescence intensity ...

  7. Field effect (semiconductor) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_effect_(semiconductor)

    In physics, the field effect refers to the modulation of the electrical conductivity of a material by the application of an external electric field. In a metal , the electron density that responds to applied fields is so large that an external electric field can penetrate only a very short distance into the material.

  8. Supermembranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermembranes

    Supermembranes are hypothesized objects that live in the 11-dimensional theory called M-Theory and should also exist in eleven-dimensional supergravity. Supermembranes are a generalisation of superstrings to another dimension. Supermembranes are 2-dimensional surfaces. For example, they can be spherical or shaped like a torus.

  9. Monte Carlo methods for electron transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_methods_for...

    The Monte Carlo method for electron transport is a semiclassical Monte Carlo (MC) approach of modeling semiconductor transport. Assuming the carrier motion consists of free flights interrupted by scattering mechanisms, a computer is utilized to simulate the trajectories of particles as they move across the device under the influence of an electric field using classical mechanics.
