Photo-excited hot carrier dynamics in hydrogenated amorphous silicon imaged by 4D electron microscopy
Nature Nanotechnology 12, 871 (2017).
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.124
Authors: Bolin Liao, Ebrahim Najafi, Heng Li, Austin J. Minnich & Ahmed H. Zewail
Charge carrier dynamics in amorphous semiconductors has been a topic of intense research that has been propelled by modern applications in thin-film solar cells, transistors and optical sensors. Charge transport in these materials differs fundamentally from that in crystalline semiconductors owing to the lack of long-range order and high defect density. Despite the existence of well-established experimental techniques such as photoconductivity time-of-flight and ultr...

Authors: Shu-Jen Han, Jianshi Tang, Bharat Kumar, Abram Falk, Damon Farmer, George Tulevski, Keith Jenkins, Ali Afzali, Satoshi Oida, John Ott, James Hannon & Wilfried Haensch
As conventional monolithic silicon technology struggles to meet the requirements for the 7-nm technology node, there has been tremendous progress in demonstrating the scalability of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors down to the size that satisfies the 3-nm node and beyond. However, to date, circuits built with carbon nanotubes have overlooked key aspects of a practica...

Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers with a direct bandgap feature tightly bound excitons, strong spin–orbit coupling and spin–valley degrees of freedom. Depending on the spin configuration of the electron–hole pairs, intra-valley excitons of TMD monolayers can be either optically bright or...
