Large spin-splitting in the conduction band and valence band of ferromagnetic semiconductors, predicted by the influential mean-field Zener model and assumed in many spintronic device proposals, has ...

The bandgap (also written as band gap) is the minimum energy required for an electron to transition from the valence band – where electrons are bound to atoms – to the conduction band, where they can ...

Recently, the group of professor ZHANG Yongsheng from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) identified the orbital ...

Many modern electronic devices we use daily owe their existence to the process of semiconductor doping. Doped semiconductors are the result of careful modifications ...
