Researchers experimentally confirm their 2021 hypothesis that electron-phonon coupling, not electron-electron interactions, ...

Electron-phonon scattering is often the primary mechanism limiting electron mobility in semiconductors. Thus, changing phonon properties can provide a way to control conductivity. Recently, there has ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have succeeded in detecting laser-assisted electron scattering (LAES) using ...

Topological insulators raise the exciting hope of realizing lossless energy transport, which is true at ultralow temperatures. However, topological insulators fail to maintain this lossless 'magic' at ...

Graphene, a material which consists of a single layer of carbon atoms, has been celebrated by many as the 'next big thing' in material science. But according to researchers, its thermal properties may ...

In their simulations of 2D semiconductors with strong electron-phonon interactions, the researchers found that when treating both the charge and heat carriers as part of the same system, the ...

What’s long been seen as a hindrance to electrical conduction in semiconductors may actually be an asset, at least in two-dimensional materials. The research team found that in atomically thin ...

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable magnetic signatures, using neutron spectroscopy on a specially engineered ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...
